A Couple of Kind Requests
About Dogs. Dogs are welcome, but please do bring a leash along (just in case). Allowing dogs at program events is an EM experimental endeavor. We’re still in the trying-it-out phase. While we dearly love dogs, they can be challenging to enfold into the practice, the mix of other humans, other dogs and all of the enticing smells & critters of the forest.
About Alcohol & Drugs. Here at EM, we aim to be a safe space for folks wanting to live a sober life, which includes ourselves (Mike & Nicole). As such, we respectfully ask that alcohol and drugs not be brought on site. This includes marijuana. However, as we understand that some folks use marijuana for medical purposes, and we want to try to support our friends in this regard, our experimental policy is as follows: we respectfully ask that you not share it, and that you keep it & use it away from others.
