A no, silence, maybe, or hesitation all mean no.-If you hear no, respect it and move on gracefully.-A yes now doesn’t automatically mean a yes later — unless someone offers you ongoing consent, which they can still change their mind on later.CONVERSATIONAL CONSENT 💬-Some people here are open to sharing everything, while others prefer not to hear or share explicit details. When you are considering sharing explicit details (sex, kink, BDSM), first assess the people around you, and if you are not familiar with their comfort levels regarding explicit details, ask first before sharing.CONFIDENTIALITY 🤫-Everything shared in this group should be treated as confidential and private.-Do not share stories that name others without their permission.-Do not greet people outside this group in a way that could out them.-Do not take or share photos/videos without the clear consent of everyone who would be photographed.EVENT CONDUCT-Kissing, cuddling, and flirting may happen — otherwise, this is a non-sexual space.-Clothing stays on for the entire event.-Exception: This venue has a hot tub available after discussion is officially over.Attendees may choose to wear a swimsuit or be nude.

Over time, this can stretch our emotional energy.How do we notice when care, depth, or holding space is more than we can handle? And how do we respond in ways that honor both our limits and the relationship?Questions to explore:How do you recognize your own limits before vulnerability or care becomes overwhelming?What tools or phrases help you set boundaries clearly and kindly?How do you navigate when your need for support doesn’t match someone else’s capacity?What does it feel like to be in a connection that’s sustainable for you?Have you ever realized you were asking for more than someone could give? How did you adjust?POTLUCK FOODThis is a dinnertime potluck—please bring food or drinks to share. Home-cooked or takeout is welcome.
