We would like to share some basic guidelines of co-existence to make your stay here pleasurable and happy for everyone:
- We encourage the conscious usage of energy (lighting, water, gas, wood) in order to avoid waste.
- We separate organic from inorganic waste. We classify and recycle containers of various materials. We don't throw papers, plastic, cigarette butts, etc. to the floor. Please take non-recyclable items with you (i.e. diapers, used batteries, etc.)
- If you want to collaborate, we welcome your participation in the programmed community activities. If you have a different task to propose, please check it out with the residents first. When we finish our tasks we clean the tools and tidy up the work place.
- We share maintenance and cleaning of common spaces (dining areas, bathrooms, living rooms, etc.). We request that the bedrooms are left tidy and the floors swept. Please do not use toxic/chemical cleaning products.
- We share a meals schedule. Our diet is natural and vegetarian.
- We request that no alcoholic beverages, drugs or hallucinogenic substances be consumed in the premises.
- Smoking in closed areas or galleries is not allowed, and smokers are requested to keep their cigarette butts in a bag, and take them back with them.
- Fires are allowed in the dance circle and tipi only, in order to avoid forest fires.
