Self responsibility
I agree to assume the full responsibility for the nature of my experience. I am conscious to be the creator of my emotions, thoughts and processes and I am willing to work on myself whenever I perceive the desire to change my experience.
I agree to strive for an inner posture of no-violence. ...by reflecting and understanding my challenges, my needs, my triggers without projecting or imposing them on others.
I agree to allow others to live their own being authentically. ...to evolve in their own rhythm and to make mistakes. I understand that the emotions and processes provoked through the authentic expression of others are my opportunities for self-reflection, learning, growth and healing. I agree to appreciate the mirror others are providing to me.
If I wish others to act differently I will express that wish in a direct way. ...avoiding accusations or drama. I do not expect others to guess my needs or ideas, nor to assume they are common sense.
I agree to work on my awareness about my boundaries. ...and will actively communicate them to others.
I agree to take responsibility about my visions, wishes and desires. ...knowing about my freedom for their expression and to taking active steps for their realization. I agree to let go of expectations toward others and the entire group to create the experience I am striving for.
I am aware that this set of agreements represents a codex of human interaction that differs radically from conventional societal norms. Within this field, I acknowledge that I cannot blame others for not meeting my unexpressed expectations for attention, care, or treatment. Instead, I take full responsibility to clearly express my needs and wishes, and to actively seek ways for their realization in alignment with our shared values.
Communication
I agree to aim for clear and direct words. ...in all issues which have the potential to trigger emotions and processes in anybody involved.
I agree to apply non-violent communication. ...in all issues which have the potential to trigger emotions and processes in anybody involved (if not decided differently during a held process work). If I am not familiar with non-violent communication I will learn its basics as developed by Marshal Rosenberg and work on my ability to put them into practice.
I agree to be transparent about my emotions, thoughts and processes. ...towards all community members. I also acknowledge sharing inner processes might need time and I agree to respect others in finding the right timing and moment.
I agree to be confidential about our communal experiences. When going out of the community field I will not reveal the identity of anybody having joined our common experience without expressive consent of that person. I will be free to speak about my own experiences, but just mention others in as much as needed to make myself understood. Still I will not name them by their name. I agree to not post any photos taken in the community context without the consent of anybody to be identified. Nor will I post photos showing potentially indecent or provocative scenes without consent of the Resonancia team.
I agree to show up for sharing circles and other community communication formats whenever they are called. ...recognizing them as essential spaces for connection, clarity, and collective growth. Such meetings may be scheduled between one and several times a week, depending on the current communal dynamic.
Culture
Freedom
I agree to give a maximum of freedom to others. ...supporting them to enter into free authentic expression, as far as it does not affect the freedom of others. I will not expect them to share my own values, beliefs and practices as long as not being consolidated in a conscious communal process.
I agree to not judge others. If I perceive an inner judgment I will always “own” it, being conscious that it is a product of my own values, beliefs or emotions and that others are free to live their own authentic reality. I will always communicate my processes accordingly.
I agree to enter a clothing optional field. ...understanding everybody's freedom to wear, or not, any type of clothing inside protected spaces, where our appearance is not in conflict with the sensibility of the public or of children.
Resonance
I agree to open up for resonance. ...to happen between humans, nurturing my perceptiveness and sensibility for the vibration and reality of others and my ability for harmonic interaction, including in a non-verbal way and beyond rules and agreements.
I agree to dedicate a significant part of my time to my open presence in community spaces. ...free of outcome expectations, work focus and time pressure. I agree to keep my dedication to screens, electronic devices and virtual contacts limited in a way that does not affect my regular full presence in community context.
I agree to join our quest for common practices where together we can syntonize our vibrations. ...and elevate our state of perception.
Love and Eros
I agree to enter a field where Love, Relationships, Sensuality and Sexuality are treated in an open and conscious way. I aim to let go of involuntary cultural conditioning and moralistic limitations, aiming to live my own truth and authentic expression while supporting others to do the same.
I agree to enter a field of sex-positivity. ...regarding sexuality as a positive element in human life, including an open and welcoming attitude towards its many expressions, along with awareness regarding sexual health and consent. I agree that sexual activities can happen openly in public spaces. I agree with an open attitude toward gender identities and toward kinky expressions and activities.
Local integration
I agree to care about our local integration. I will be sensitive and respectful about the local culture and habits and about the perception and feelings of our neighbors. I am willing to adapt my attitude, behavior and appearance to achieve a harmonic contact and a fruitful collaboration with them.
I agree to respect legal restrictions. I agree not to realize activities which are not permitted by law nor are they supported by the local society and which would as consequence risk local acceptance and support.
Living with the earth
I agree to aim for a lifestyle in respect and syntony with Mother Earth. ...and for consciousness about my influence on nature and the planet.
Spirituality
I agree to aim for perceptivity and consciousness towards the different levels of existence.
I agree to respect everybody's freedom about spiritual beliefs and practices.
Community
Entering a community field. I am aware to enter a specific and unique community field. I agree to tune in and to support a harmonic interaction.
Structural flexibility. I agree to join a field of structural flexibility, willing to adapt to changes in the environment and the human interaction. I am aware that certain places, mostly the laboratory Valle de Sensaciones, are dedicated to temporary experiences with changing focus. I agree to adapt to the changing focus, rules and availability.
I agree to care about the cleanliness and tidiness of all areas. ...respecting the given structure and order, and to get active in taking care without making my input depend on somebody to step into coordination and supervision of tasks.
My appearance in photos and videos. We aim to capture the atmosphere and dynamics of our gatherings through photography and video recording. If you prefer not to appear in certain scenes, you may need to step aside so the moment can be documented with the rest of the group. Please understand that, depending on the timing of your application, we may give preference to applicants who are open to supporting this form of visual documentation.
I agree to let go of expectations for anybody to assume the role of a chef, director, facilitator or animator. ...as long as this is not announced during a specific event or freely taken over by the person in question. I further agree to not make my own appropriate behavior and active support depend on others to inspire, direct or supervise my activities. I am aware that outside of programmed events, our co-living environment is a space of self responsibility and co creation. I understand that in these times, there may be no active facilitation or social holding provided by the team.
I agree that if I repeatedly violate the agreements made here, I might need to leave the community. In case agreements are being violated, this will be addressed through supportive feedback. The person in question will be gently invited and supported to reflect and realign their posture or attitude with the agreement field.
If the community or members of the team come to the shared perception that there is no willingness to step into accordance with our agreements, or that I am no longer in supportive contact with the communal dynamic, I agree to step out in a way that best supports the community field, avoiding drama.
A possible dynamic may arise when someone, after experiencing uncomfortable emotions, externalizes the cause through judgment or blame, rather than acknowledging their own triggers and expressing them in a non-violent way. Attempts to call this person back into alignment with the agreement field might be met with further judgements or blame for not feeling seen or supported inside the own mindset. Such dynamics can become toxic for the community. In these cases, even if it is painful, it may be necessary for the person to leave. I agree to accept this possibility and to honor it as part of maintaining the integrity of our shared space.
