  • Treat all attendees, instructors, staff, vendors, and venue personnel with respect at all times.

  • Maintain a collaborative, non-competitive learning environment.

  • Refrain from gossip, shaming, harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior.

Consent & Boundaries

  • Honor verbal and non-verbal boundaries at all times.

  • Participation in demonstrations, hands-on learning, or experiential activities is always optional.

  • No participant is ever required to give or receive touch beyond their personal comfort level.

  • Consent may be withdrawn at any time without explanation.

Professional Conduct

  • Engage in all educational activities in a professional manner.

  • Follow all hygiene, sanitation, and safety protocols as instructed.

  • Practice techniques only within your licensed scope and training level.

  • Be mindful of differing schedules, energy levels, and sensory needs.

  • Cleanliness and consideration for others are expected in all shared spaces.

Enforcement & Removal

Wildwood Skin Labs reserves the right to take appropriate action, including removal from the retreat, if a participant engages in behavior that:

  • Violates the Code of Conduct outlined above

  • Disregards consent, personal boundaries, or safety instructions

  • Disrupts the learning environment or shared accommodations

  • Poses a risk to the physical, emotional, or psychological safety of others

  • Fails to comply with retreat policies after being asked to do so

Removal under these circumstances does not entitle the participant to a refund or reimbursement of any kind.
