Firestone Sanctuary is a pioneering project so it is important that its collaborators and volunteers are in close positive alignment so as to achieve effective community cohesion. By visiting the physical space or collaborating with Firestone Sanctuary, you agree to the following: # Consent Please respect the autonomy and freedom of every other person. This is very important. # Peaceful Communication Communication about any issues should be considerate, bearing in mind principles of early communication, deescalation of conflict, and vulnerability. This is often referred to as the soft skill set of "non-violent communication". Have good faith that everyone is genuinely well-meaning, but might make unconscious mistakes, so speak humbly. If you think that any person is exhibiting problematic behaviours, do not try to police them yourself. Please communicate peacefully any genuine concerns to the persons involved, or to the Firestone Sanctuary leadership / membership. # Kindness The entire Firestone Sanctuary project is a service to humanity and nature. Kindness is intrinsically rewarding and fulfilling, and treating everyone with generosity is very important. The whole community works better when people do not get caught up on tiny details. Kindness has a way of coming back to the giver 💛 # Forgiveness Everyone makes mistakes and needs to have a pathway to heal and recover from them. Be forgiving and respect that everyone is on a journey of self-improvement. Forgiveness has many personal benefits, too, such as releasing the psychological burden of holding onto a bitter grudge. # Honesty and Openness Please have a mindfulness of transparency, radical honesty, and openness. This is how trust is built, and Firestone Sanctuary is building a trustful ethos for society. Vulnerability is very important for self-development and self-acceptance, as well as genuineness and acceptance in a community project. # Thoughtfulness and Learning Firestone Sanctuary cultivates a habit of introspection, initiative, self-improvement and self-growth. # Respectfulness Please clean up after yourself. The general principle applies: "Take only photos, leave only footprints." If you bring anything to the Firestone Sanctuary property that belongs to you (is not a gift), it is your responsibility to take it back with you when you leave. If you want to bring something that is yours and leave it at the property, please communicate beforehand to form an agreement about that. If you leave anything behind without prior communication (and agreement), it can only be assumed that it was a gift, and it becomes the property of Firestone Sanctuary, unless it is agreed beforehand that it belongs to you. To be clear: the absence of an agreement about it implies that it becomes Firestone Sanctuary property. It is much clearer to get any agreement in writing :) This is about common sense: if you accidentally leave lost property behind, we will, of course, try to inform you and arrange for you to have it back. However, if you bring, for example, building materials to the property, and do not make prior agreement that the building materials are your own for a specific incubated project, we can only assume that the materials are a gift contribution to Firestone Sanctuary in general. If you contribute financially towards a Firestone Sanctuary initiative and do not make prior arrangements about a property-share agreement, the money is assumed to be a donation. It is not fair for you to retroactively assume Firestone Sanctuary to have consented to an unstated property-share agreement. If you have no prior agreement about property that was left at Firestone Sanctuary, and then later attempt to control the property or control others in relation to the property (e.g. telling them what they can and can't do with it), this will be considered a breach of the visitor agreement. Please use peaceful and early communication to establish agreements about your intentions beforehand :) # Responsibility Be careful with the property of Firestone Sanctuary and others. If you damage something, please make efforts to fix it. Take responsibility for your actions and how you treat others. #### All of these principles apply even if you think others aren't following them :) If you do not agree with this philosophy, we humbly request that you do not try to visit or collaborate under any other terms. If you think there is an error or would like to dispute a philosophy here, please get in contact :)
