Participation: You are invited to be an active participant. This could mean helping prepare meals, helping with set up / take down, performing in the talent show, or leading a skill share or game. It can also mean contributing in a way we haven't thought of yet!  Commit to having conversations and dances with people you don’t know. Be present by turning off computers and cell phones as much as possible.

 

Food: Meals are essential to the community and living a long life. We plan the meals with major allergens in mind. We will have some gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options; if you have a restrictive diet, plan on bringing some of your own food. Please let us know if you have any allergies, if you want to be fed, and if you are vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free.
