Sydney Confesters Festival Welcome

SOME GUIDELINES

Sydney ConFesters festivals are different to most other get-togethers. Please read on to see if Sydney ConFesters is what you really want.

• There are no paid staff or designated volunteers at Sydney ConFesters - everyone who attends does what needs to be done and contributes to make the festival exceptional. If you just want to pay an entry fee and then have work done for you, then Sydney ConFesters is not for you.
• Sydney ConFesters is about learning to live together and care for each other - be careful that your words and actions don’t conflict with the standards and needs of those around you.
• Sydney ConFesters love to get high on life. If you like to drink alcohol or use drugs to feel good, then Sydney ConFesters is not for you. Do not bring alcohol or illegal drugs.
• Many Sydney ConFesters enjoy the company of pets, but at the festival we are camped close together - please leave your pets at home.
• Sydney ConFesters enjoy the sights, smells and sounds of the Australian bush - please do not play any recorded music and do not smoke in communal areas.
• Sydney ConFesters is all about sharing - do not bring any items or services to sell.
• Sydney ConFesters enjoy diversity and freedom - you will be welcome if you choose to wear clothing all the time or if you choose to wear no clothing.
• Sydney Confesters practise minimal-impact camping. Please help us to leave the site as we found it and be considerate as to how you use your energy and resources.
• Sydney ConFesters is a place for people to feel free to learn and do things differently - being photographed or filmed makes it much harder to do this. Do not take photographs of people until you have everyone’s agreement to be photographed. Children under 16 may only be photographed if their parents are present and they agree. Do not take any videos at Sydney ConFesters, even from mobile phones.
