Inside-Our Journeys host people from across the globe of various age and gender. We are gather for adventures due to our shared interests related to outdoor activities, community and psychedelics. It is of utmost importance to the Activity Organizers and the Community as a whole that each and every person attending has a positive and rewarding experience and to that end, we invite all Participants to help us realize a safe, respectful, and positive experience for everyone. When you participate an Inside-Out Journey activity, you are contributing to the overall experience, which makes us all accountable to each other.

 

Therefore we have established this Code of Conduct to provide guidelines to Participants and to ensure that all Participants understand what behavior is expected, and what behavior will not be tolerated. We expect all Participants to abide by this Code of Conduct. This includes during the activity itself and in related online communities and social media.

 

We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free and inclusive event experience for everyone regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, or other protected category. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

​

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

​

Participants will:

• Be considerate and respectful to all other participants, staff, and volunteers.

• Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior, materials, and speech.

• Speak up if they observe anything at the event that conflicts with this Code of Conduct. 

• If you are being harassed or feel uncomfortable, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact an event staff person immediately.

​

ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT

Any sexual activity that takes place during the event, must be engaged by all parties “enthusiastically”. “Enthusiastic consent” means that there is a focus on a positive expression of consent through verbal and non-verbal cues. Giving cues alone does not necessarily equate to consent but instead are additional indications that may display permission. Consent is about good communication and checking in with your partner to ensure you agree and are on the same page when engaging in sexual activity. 

​

CONSENT

Consent doesn’t only apply to sexual activity. It’s important to get consent for any activity that may interact with another person’s boundaries.

​

Unacceptable behavior from any community member will not be tolerated. Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to:
