Community Agreements
Consent is key
Violations will not be tolerated. Consent is an agreement between two or more people to engage in an interaction. Photography is not allowed unless with expressed permission. Sending unsolicited messages, advances, touch, or commenting about someone's body may result in being banned from future events.
We value respect
Attendees will not engage in language or behavior that would cause others to feel unwelcome or embarrassed including but not limited to - extreme intoxication, abusive language, possession of a firearm, commenting on someone's physical appearance, weight, scars, piercings, or clothing without permission. Treat others the way they want to be treated.
We encourage clothing optional
CYNA promotes social nudity and naturist philosophy expecting members and guests to practice social nudity. However, we understand newcomers may take a while to adjust and feel comfortable and acknowledge clothing may be affirming to a person's identity or bodily functions (ex: menstruation management or gender affirming items). Therefore, attendees will not pressure or ask another to remove clothing or accessories.
Violations can be reported anonymously here
We support body neutrality
We value an open, shame-free space to explore new ways of relating to our bodies, sexuality, and self-image, while recognizing that the journey to body acceptance is personal. We encourage open and honest conversation about body image and hope to foster an environment of body neutrality. Attendees are asked to limit overt sexual expressions (kissing, flirting, etc) as they would in any public setting.
