MOST IMPORTANT RULE:

ABSOLUTE BAN ON ALCOHOL, DRUGS, AND MIND-ALTERING SUBSTANCES
Throughout the entire event, it is strictly FORBIDDEN to consume or be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any psychoactive substances.
This rule will be strictly enforced. Anyone found violating this will be asked to leave the festival grounds IMMEDIATELY and PERMANENTLY.

If you're not ready to meet in full sobriety for a few days, this may not be the right time or space for you. There are many other places where such substances are tolerated – this is not one of them.

We care about authentic connection, clarity, presence, and safety. The inner processes at this gathering can be intense and sensitive – even one intoxicated person can disrupt the entire energetic space.

This year there will be no exceptions. Last year we were more lenient – this year we won’t be. Please respect this space and each other.
We’re watching and listening.

If you're unsure whether something is allowed, message us.
Tobacco, cigarettes, snuff (tabaka), and rapeh are allowed.

Parking No. 1
Your cars will be parked in Parking No. 1 and No. 2.
Please always take up only the minimum space indicated by the "parking attendant" and do not park outside the designated zones.
"Sleeping" cars may park only in the Camper Zone.
It is not allowed to sleep or set up camps on the parking lots.

Camper Zone and Parking No. 2
"Sleeping" cars park in this zone.
Campers park only in the specially designated area.
The Camper Zone does not have power hookups, waste disposal, or grey water drainage.
The same rules apply as for wild camping.
It is strictly forbidden to pollute the area with any kind of waste water, even seemingly harmless. If necessary, use the ToyToy cabins provided.

Parking No. 3
This area is available only for vehicles with permits from the Organizer, Volunteer Team, Speakers, Support Staff, Technical, and Service teams.
Access is allowed for the Sauna vehicle and Organizer’s Canteen supplies.

ToyToy Cabins and Sanitary Facilities
Serviced ToyToy cabins will be placed throughout the festival grounds and cleaned daily.
(Please be patient and understanding when the sewage truck arrives between 6:30 and 8:00 in the morning — it may be noisy for a few moments due to the working pump.)
Sanitary containers with warm-water showers will be available at all times.
Due to the large number of participants, we kindly ask you to be efficient and considerate in your water usage.

Please try to generate as little waste as possible. Dispose of any trash regularly using the bins, which are placed densely throughout the Tent Field area.
Larger amounts of waste — for example at the end of the festival before departure — should be taken to the Main Dumpsters (located at Parking Lot No. 2).
Grill waste must be fully cooled down and disposed of only in garbage bags! Charcoal dust is very difficult to remove without thoroughly cleaning the containers.
All cigarette butts and other small litter must also be disposed of only in trash bins.

Throughout the entire festival area, fires may only be lit in designated spots by the organizers or authorized persons.
We will have one main Ceremonial Fire, which will burn continuously throughout the festival.
Please do not throw any trash, cigarette butts, paper, or other waste into this fire (this also applies to any other fires that might be present on the festival grounds).
The Ceremonial Fire is the Heart of our Gathering, and we treat it with the same care and reverence as we would our own heart.
We will keep the Ceremonial Fire burning at all times during the festival.
If you feel called, you are welcome to become a Fire Keeper and tend the fire for a designated period.
You can sign up at the Woodworking Zone with Puszek or Mak.

Quiet hours are in effect from 11:30 PM to 6:30 AM.
This is a "mutual agreement on silence". During these hours, especially in the Tent Area and Camper Zone, we kindly ask you to avoid loud conversations, laughter, music played on speakers, or making any other noise.
After 11:00 PM, please do not play loud instruments, especially djembe drums, shamanic drums, or similar.
This is not a music festival, and considering the intensity of the daily program, we all need to take care of rest, sleep, and regeneration.
Even if you're not tired, please respect the need for rest in others.
On Friday and Saturday at 4:00 AM, sweat lodge ceremonies begin — for those who choose to take part, every hour of sleep is priceless.

The following are excluded from the quiet hours:

• •  operation of power generators

• • the work of the ToiToi service person, who will arrive each morning with their sanitation truck to magically refresh and clean our toilets (between 6–7 AM)

• • sweat lodge ceremonies

There will be two mobile power generators operating on the festival grounds to supply electricity to our entire festival village.
The generators will run continuously, 24 hours a day.
It is not possible to turn them off, and we kindly ask you not to attempt to do so, as this could have serious consequences for the entire technical infrastructure of the festival.
Please take this into account when choosing a spot for your tent.

The river on the festival grounds has many different spots and bends; some areas are very shallow, knee-deep, but there are also "unknown" deep parts, landslides, and underwater roots.
After recent heavy rains, the river level has risen significantly, so please exercise the utmost caution when bathing in the river.
Please follow the signs posted by the river as well as the current requests from the Volunteer Team.
Children must be supervised carefully and may bathe in the river only under adult supervision.
The river area is unguarded and excluded from the festival grounds.
Bathing is done entirely at your own risk.
We care about the environment, so there is a strict ban on using personal hygiene products (soap, detergents, shampoos, toothpaste, etc.) in the natural water bodies (pond, river).

The Medical Rescue Station will be staffed 24 hours a day by two experienced paramedics, normally available to you between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM (in justified cases, 24 hours service is provided, but please let the paramedics rest and don’t wake them for a headache pill or a band-aid — ask a tent neighbor for help instead).
If you feel unwell, please contact the paramedics directly or ask (through a friend) for them to come to your campsite.
In case of life-threatening or emergency situations (without hesitation!), raise the alarm, call our paramedics, and notify the nearest volunteers who will contact the Festival Safety Coordinators.
If necessary, the paramedics will call an ambulance.
The nearest hospital is located 10 km away in Skierniewice.
Our paramedics can reach the farthest point of the festival in emergency mode within 2-3 minutes or faster.

There is a source of drinking water on the festival grounds, which all participants can use free of charge.
The water has a somewhat distinctive taste, so if you think this might bother you, we recommend purchasing a supply of water at the shop.

Throughout the entire festival, there will be an extensive food zone with food trucks offering a diverse menu: vegetarian, vegan, and meat dishes.
You will also be able to purchase breakfasts, coffee, drinks, and fruits.
In the gastro area, it is theoretically possible to pay by card or BLIK (a Polish mobile payment system), but there are connectivity issues on-site, so it’s better to have cash on hand.
Due to limited electrical capacity at our location, there will be no general access to boiling hot water with kettles across the festival grounds.
You can boil water for your own needs using portable camping stoves in the tent area.

There will be a designated area for phone charging on the festival grounds. Our festival is a friendly and safe place; however, we do not take responsibility for any equipment left there — you use it at your own risk.
No other electrical devices, such as kettles, may be plugged in at this station.

The canteen is off-limits to festival guests. It provides catering services exclusively for the Organizer’s teams and their guests, speakers, volunteers, medical rescuers, and logistics and technical staff.
There is no possibility to charge phones here, except for authorized and invited persons allowed to be in this area.

With your festival ticket, you may freely participate in all program points without the need for additional registration. You decide where you want to be and what draws you.
The only registrations, due to limited participant numbers, will be for the Sweat Lodge ceremonies, at the dates and times indicated in the program, directly with the ceremony leaders.
You will learn directly from the leaders how the ceremony is conducted, how to prepare, when to arrive, what to bring, and so on.
Please make thoughtful decisions and honor your registration commitment, because if you register but do not attend, you take away the opportunity from someone else who could have taken your place. Let’s respect our word and each other.
Detailed instructions will be provided by the ceremony leaders, but the ceremony begins at the moment the fire is lit, which is at 4 a.m. All registered participants should be present at the designated time.
The preparation time, when stones are heated in the fire, is already part of the ceremony and is very important for what will happen inside the sweat lodge.
Entry into the sweat lodge is not allowed without participating in the preparation process.

Food is not included in the festival ticket and is at your own expense.
Services and massages in the Body Work Zone are additionally charged — prices are arranged directly with the service provider you wish to use.
Exhibitor Area — like the food zone, it’s advisable to have cash on hand.
Sauna Zone — usage and services are additionally charged and arranged on-site with the sauna attendants.

Here is a subjective list of useful items:
Tent, sleeping mat, sleeping bag, meditation cushion or something to sit on, comfortable clothes, 2-3 towels (one for the sweat lodge), swim shorts, flashlight, insect repellent, your own cup/bottle for water, camping dishes, notebook and pen, cash for the food zone, something for rain (just in case), a hat or other head covering.
This is a basic list of useful things; the rest is up to your own preference.
Remember, more does not mean better.
