Seminar Rules & Agenda

At the Seminar Time

• We share a clean and well-maintained space to create harmony for us.

To Keep Us All Safe

• We have decided on a number of basic and logical rules that we will ask all participants and guests to follow with understanding and love.

Food

• The seminar space is vegan, so the food we bring into the space is vegan only (no meat, fish, or dairy products).

Clear Mind

• No drugs or alcohol in the space and no use during participation at the seminar.

Animals

• We love animals but leave them off-site.

Noise

• Sound is a vibration in space, so we are sensitive to ourselves and others about the amount of noise we create.

Smoking Tobacco

• Allowed outside only, with sensitivity to others.

Order and Cleanliness

• We keep the common space clean and tidy. Help as you can.
• Hygiene: If you prepare or make food, wash your hands after using the toilet and before preparing food, wash the vegetables with a little soap, and do not pass dishes from mouth to mouth.

Privacy and Personal Belongings

• Each of us has our own personal space and belongings. Respect the personal space of others, and do not touch other people’s belongings without their permission.
• Personal Space: A person’s body is in his/her full possession, so we listen to the other’s body language to understand how open he/she is at the moment to creating physical contact or communication.

Timely Arrival

• Arrive at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time to settle in and prepare mentally.

Respectful Behavior

• Be polite and professional. Treat all participants and speakers with respect and professionalism throughout the seminar.
• No disruptive behavior: Avoid any behavior that might disrupt the seminar, such as loud talking or excessive movement.

Communication Rules

• Listen actively. Pay close attention to the speakers and other participants. Show engagement by nodding, maintaining eye contact, and avoiding distractions.
• Ask questions politely. If you have questions, raise your hand and wait for permission to speak. Keep questions concise and relevant.

Device Management

• Turn off or mute all smartphones and electronic devices to minimize disruptions.
• No use of personal electronics: Do not use laptops, tablets, or other personal electronics during the seminar unless specifically instructed by the speaker.

Confidentiality

• Respect privacy. Keep all information shared during the seminar confidential and do not discuss it outside the designated spaces without permission.

Feedback and Engagement

• Provide constructive feedback. If you have feedback for speakers or organizers, provide it in a constructive manner after the seminar.
• Engage in discussions: Participate actively in group discussions to enhance your learning experience.

Environmental Awareness

• Maintain cleanliness. Help keep the seminar space clean by disposing of trash properly and not littering.
• Recycle when possible. Use recycling bins for recyclable materials and encourage others to do the same.

Respect Time Limits

• Adhere to schedules: Be respectful of time limits set for presentations, breaks, and networking sessions.
• No late arrivals during sessions: Avoid arriving late during sessions as it can be disruptive to both speakers and other participants.

Follow Organizational Guidelines

• Observe all policies. Adhere to all organizational guidelines and instructions provided by the seminar staff.
• Safety first: Follow all safety protocols and emergency procedures communicated during the seminar.

Commitment Period

• Participants commit to attending the seminar for the entire duration to ensure a meaningful learning experience.
• Extending participation: If you wish to extend your stay, please register with the main community office.

Initiated Shortening of Stay

• In some cases, the core group may decide to shorten the participation period and inform the person while providing an appropriate waiting time.
