Principles of Water Woman Fest
Radical responsibility:
By becoming part of this community gathering you are taking radical responsibility for yourself. This includes bringing your own food, shelter, and water for the duration of the gathering.
Radical Inclusion:
Anyone may be a part of this. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.
Communal Effort:
Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, living in harmony with the earth and methods of action & communication that support such interactions.
Leaving No Trace:
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.
