Code of Conduct.

Let’s make it a good one.

We are committed to creating a positive, respectful, and inspiring experience for everyone involved. Our Code of Conduct exists to support that environment.

If, for any reason, you are unable to uphold these standards, you may be asked to leave the workshop immediately, and no refund will be issued.

We take having a good time seriously.
