Reglas

Living together with respect and awareness

To ensure harmony, safety, and a rich experience for everyone, we ask all solidarity mission participants to honor the following guidelines during their stay:

1. Respect the place and its people
– Treat the ecovillage, its spaces, nature, and inhabitants with care.
– Speak and act with kindness, honesty, and responsibility.

2. Be present and engaged
– Participate actively in the missions and show up on time for your shifts.
– Communicate openly if you're facing any difficulty or need support.

3. No drugs during missions and no alcool abuses
– To maintain a grounded and safe environment, we ask that no substances be consumed during your stay, especially during work hours and shared activities.

4. Honor shared spaces
– Clean up after yourself, respect quiet hours, and contribute to collective well-being.
– Follow the systems in place for compost, waste sorting, water, and energy use.

5. Respect privacy and diversity
– Everyone comes from different paths — we welcome all identities and ways of life, as long as mutual respect is upheld.

6. Children and families
– If families are present, be attentive to the presence of children and their safety. Some tasks may involve helping with family life if agreed upon.

At Pourgues, we believe that honest dialogue is essential. Regular group check-ins are held to share how everyone is feeling and to adjust if needed. If at any point the mission no longer feels aligned for you or us— emotionally, physically, or relationally — it’s entirely possible to pause or end it. What matters most is that each person feels free, respected, and listened to.
