For us, ‘Pure and Clean’ means: zero intoxication – so no alcohol or other drugs. Drug use, besides alcohol, has been exceedingly rare at our events. The ‘no stimulants/substances’ policy for our events is a natural progression :)
The Labs take place in a remote environment with very few sources of human generated smell nuisance. We’re in the middle of nature! If there is a smoker in the group and that person smokes a cigarette outside and then comes back into the hut, the cigarette smell that that person is carrying will be perceived much more strongly by the non-smokers than in a ‘normal’ urban environment. If you are a smoker you are totally welcome at the Labs – and I totally encourage you to minimize your smoking for example by making a small hike alone in the afternoon or evening and having a cigarette during that hike, making sure that there is a bit of time passing between your smoking and your getting back to the group.
We don’t judge alcohol or drug use – in fact, at the Permission Labs, we generally avoid judging altogether :) The essence of the Labs is that you’ll experience a natural state of ‘completeness’ due to the unique elements that make them special:
They’re not rules :) it’s merely commitments we make together. And we make this commitment for good reasons. Not drinking and not using drugs helps create a safer experience on every level.
