Embrace the Indigenous
No form of healing can occur without the acknowledgment of Palestinian identity on this land.

A safe space to explore identity and what does it means to be the daughters and sons of this land.
we acknowledge there is scarcity in safe containers for Palestinians to explore themselves.

Everything is Political - We are a political being in a political world, every step we take is on politics-infused land and we shouldn’t ignore it.

Community
The Village is us. We are all part of it, we dream together, create together and play together. Each participant of the event bring their own unique gift that together creates The Village.

This space is not a product, in this village we share our gifts with each other rather than trade. Our goal in building this village is to create a space by us and for us.

Life on this land can be sometimes lonely without a community, in our attempt to build a village that is ours, a place to not feel alone in our quest for identity, community and a group that will give us a sense of belonging & healing.

Radical Inclusion

We are here to support one another, the ability to allow every individual in the space to express themselves in their highest form without judgment and with full support is the real power of community. 
A space free from any form of oppression

We welcome and respect the strange

Creativity and Expression

Expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others

Safety
Privacy - a private space for us to explore ourselves in a safe environment

Gender & Sexuality - A space that respects humans in all shapes and forms, respect for consent, and boundaries of each individual in the space.

Consent - our sexuality is a gift and before we share it we would first make sure that the other side is willing to receive it and expresses their desires in a clear and direct way.

Only the individual has the right to define themselves in our space, we accept all humans in all shapes, forms and genders without judgment.

Publicity, Social Media & The internet as a whole  - Because of the complexity of our current situation when creating spaces like these we want to ask the community to avoid any content from our event on any online platform. This event is for ourselves and not for the media. Not to change anyone else, we focus on building our community.

Sustainability
Sustainability reminds us there’s another way of doing things. We can progress as a society while caring for the environment and seeking social justice. We don’t want to leave and waste behind us, not physical garbage and not to harm any other living being in our path, we have a deep understanding we need to learn how to share this place in harmony 

No use of single use plastics, No Meat - Bring your own cup & cutlery and avoid consuming animal products. We do not judge anyone’s lifestyle or choices but in this experimental space we acknowledge the damage of the animal industry and single use products to our environment and wish to experiment in choosing a path that is more harmonic with the world around us.
