Wildfern Grove is committed to supporting a safer environment for all our event attendees. We care about your wellbeing. We also recognize that being human and exploring personal growth can be vulnerable and sometimes messy, inside ourselves and with others. Our Care & Consent Team is here to support your process of learning and wellbeing to add to your own personal resources for self-care.
Your wellbeing
You know yourself best: what you want, what you don’t, and what boundaries help you have an amazing experience. We encourage you to take the time and space to listen to your inner wisdom. During events, our Event Angels are available to answer questions, offer support and reflection, help with consent and repair conversations, and guide you through reporting a concern.
