>> Like a "burn" festival, we encourage co-creation, self-expression, gifting, and volunteering.
>> Participation means you contribute to the festival as your best self bringing your creativity and gifts to share with others.
>> Unlike a "burn" festival, we allow monetary exchange to support co-creation so the arts can truly thrive. Artists and vendors may apply to sell merch, food and beverages (appropriate licenses required). Workshop hosts, performers and other co-creators may request donations during the festival.Β
>> We are dedicated to the safety and well-being of our participants. Fire safety and harm reduction are important aspects of the festival. Sobriety is encouraged. We trust you to take care of yourself.
>> Sustainability is an important aspect of the festival. Reduce Your Waste and Leave No Trace!

πΏ Connection among humans and nature πΏ
Humans co-exist with the world around them. Awakenus was designed to bring attention to the natural connections between humans and the earth. Remember that HUMANS MAKE ART and ART is part of EARTH.Β
π±Β Freedom of Creativity & Self-Expression π±Β
Awakenus is a safe place to relinquish normalcy and immerse yourself in the arts. Participate in the festival; donβt just observe it. All participants are welcome to co-create. Certain co-creations may require an application for placement on the Awakenus festival map.Β
π Healing & Celebration π
Aspects of the festival may introduce triggers from unhealed trauma. Embrace those triggers and seek to understand and find ways to heal. Take accountability for your healing and celebrate showing up as your best self.
π Safety & Well-Being π
You are responsible for your personal safety and well-being during this festival. Do not misuse or abuse substances. Take care of your basic needs, and watch out for the safety of others. Stay hydrated and eat healthy food (or at least take your vitamins)! Consent is part of well-being. Know your boundaries and honor them. Ask for permission before interacting in ways that may defy social norms. Own your "No" and your "Yes" and respect another's "No" and "Yes". Β Respect festival organizers and rules including NO DRIVING on the festival grounds after you park and entering during established gate hours.Β
