BOUNDARIES

OF THE LOVE & EROS FESTIVAL TURKEY

We intend to create this festival as a heart-based, conscious event to let the tribe celebrate love & eros and let the newcomers have a taste of the bliss brough by sacred love & eros in a totally safe and conscious environment.

 

To create this safe and conscious environment, we set up some boundaries which applies to everyone taking part in the festival including the participants, the assistants, the facilitators and the organizers. We will be using the word “Attendee” to describe those four groups altogether hereby.
