Easton 101
Please take a few minutes to watch our video and review some basic guidelines for life at Easton Mountain
Some additions to be aware of:
When you go walking on the land, make sure to check yourself for ticks. If you need help, ask a buddy to do a “tick check” with you. There are removal tools are in the first aid kit near downstairs on the wall near the massage room .
Please only swim in the upper pond near the yurt and sauna. The lower pond is home to beavers, who carry parasites that can make you sick.
Being Together at Easton Mountain
We are sharing the space in community with others so lets keep in mind:
Take care of yourself first: What do you need? How can you get your needs to be met? Say Yes to what works for you and a gentle no to what does not.
Look out for each other: We invite you to be a part of creating community by giving a kind word to someone, asking if someone needs something, or sharing a meal or conversation with someone
Let’s pay attention to how we speak about others and show the same kindness we would want shown to us. Please don’t make jokes or comments about anyone's race, appearance, age, expression, background or ability.
Please don't talk about things others were doing or shared in a workshop or erotic space. What happens during these activities should be kept confidential.
Please make sure you have consent before touching anyone. If someone says no to a request, please honor their boundaries and refrain from continuing to ask. You can simply say ‘Thanks for taking care of yourself”
Alcohol and other substances
Limited alcohol may be served at scheduled cocktail parties throughout the event, but alcohol is not a major component of our events at Easton. Apart from these designated times, if you wish to enjoy your own, please do so away from common areas and refrain from being visibly intoxicated at workshops and activities. Again, use your common sense and courtesy so that everyone can enjoy themselves. This applies to legal substances like cannabis as well. Please only smoke in designated areas. Illegal drugs will not be tolerated, and you will be asked to leave if caught with them.
Sexuality
We are sex positive and celebrate that part of ourselves. Make consensual adult decisions with each other, but please don’t engage in sexual activity in public areas. Please find a private space to enjoy yourselves and make choices about your own health. If you are sharing a room, please negotiate private use of your room with your roommates.
Erotic Spaces
Some events provide an erotic play space in the evenings. Please use these spaces with the following guidelines and intentions:
Practice mutual respect and kindness toward yourself and others.
Set your boundaries and practice consent and negotiation with each other.
Give a “No” with kindness and receive them with grace and respect.
Please make sure you are invited before joining a scene in progress.
If you practice BDSM, please use safe words and negotiation
You may encounter hosts, volunteers, presenters and facilitators in the space. Each person will be responsible for setting boundaries, negotiating and communicating with anyone they encounter in the space.
