Retreat Values and Principles

•  Be Kind. Be respectful. Be friendly. Be helpful.

•  Leave the craft drama at home. We all have stuff going on BUT this is the perfect place to forget about everything else and have fun.

•  Respect the property of others, please don’t take, or use something that isn’t yours. If you want to borrow something, please ASK the owner.

•  Join in: If you see something interesting happening and want to participate, just join in, we’re a friendly bunch.

•  Invite others: If someone seems like they want to join your conversation or activity, welcome them.

•  If you’re partaking of alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation. Know your limits.

•  If you’re not sure of something, just ask instead of making assumptions.

•  If something bothers you, speak up and respectfully discourage the behaviour.

•  If you make a mistake, own up to it and apologize.

•  Resolve disputes in a calm manner. No shaming, criticizing, bullying, physical or verbal assaults will be tolerated.

•  Make an attempt to handle any issues amongst yourselves. But don’t be afraid to ask for help if that’s not possible. 

When in doubt, contact Karen to resolve any matters. I am here to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Have fun and stay crafty!
