Pillars: 

This gathering was founded on the following principles:

​

1. Participation : YOU are the heart of this festival. Your willingness to be open to new experiences, fully commit to participating and become part of the event is what will make this weekend come alive. 

​

2. Respect : Always treat others with respect. That means respecting their space, their wishes, their choices and speaking to them in a respectful and compassionate way. 

​

3. Inclusion : If you see someone hanging out alone, don't be afraid to talk to them. Some people are shy but will open up when there is an invitation to interact. We want everyone to feel included and welcome. 

​

4. Creativity : Just as with Participation, your creativity is of enormous value at this event and will help to make it possible. If you have decorations for our stage, ideas to make the space beautiful or want to join our organizer team please reach out. We are always open to more creatives joining the team who are bursting with colorful ideas! Further to this, we strongly believe that your experience at this event will be what you make it. You CAN create magic, you CAN create a container for healing within and you CAN create a more authentic expression of you! 

​

5. Consent : Kindness isn't consent. If you like someone and want to connect with them through touch, please ask first. 

​

6. Community : Connecting like-minded members of the Enliven community is at the heart of this event. We hope that you feel at home here, and that we can start to create a sense of belonging for those who are new here. 

​

7. Expression : Collective self expression is a rich and potent recipe for magic. However you feel fully expressed, know that that is welcome. You can move, shake, act, sing and dress how you want. We want you to be the real YOU, in the full spectrum of colors of your expression. Also, share your feelings with our support staff if there is something bothering you, you will be seen and heard. 

​​

8. Authenticity : This is a place where you can remove your mask and embrace vulnerability, there is space for all of you here without judgement.

​

9. Presence : Now more than ever, we are facing an epidemic of technology addiction and disconnection of our people. Please do your best to remain present at the event, immerse yourself in the experience and turn your phone off unless you really need it! ​​
