La Calaca Village Community Agreement

La Calaca Village was created by a decades-old group of family and friends and in many ways we’re proud to say it still feels like a family. Our goal is to create a safe, inviting, and comfortable space for all campers within our village.

In order to maintain this safety, we have expectations of all our campers, as well as any performers, healers, or other guests to the community, to abide by. These expectations apply no matter where you are, whether in our village, on the art car, elsewhere at Burning Man, or outside of Burning Man at a village-related event.

• We accept the Bureau of Erotic Discourse challenge:
  
  We accept the right of everyone to say no and be respected. This camp respects the requirement of consent before and during sex and believes that no person who is unconscious, incapacitated, or underage can give legal consent. La Calaca Village will offer assistance and help fellow Burners reach Burning Man Rangers and emergency services if necessary.
• We are an ‘enthusiastic yes’ camp, where yes is an unambiguous and joyful expression of consent. If there is not enthusiastic buy-in from both parties or all members of a group for whatever activity you’re engaging in, it is considered non-consensual and a change of action is required.
• We acknowledge that levels of comfort with different circumstances can vary from person to person and even day to day. If one party feels uncomfortable, the course of action must change.
• When a camper or participant feels threatened we ask you to make your way to safety. If this is not possible in the current situation, seek the support of others as soon as you can. Once safe, please report the situation to a village leader (more details in our full policy and procedures).
