Covid Policy
It is important to do our best to support the community's awareness and health in regards to COVID variances. To mitigate the potential risk of spreading the virus we follow the current guidelines provided by the CDC. We encourage everyone to make choices based on their own risk profile in regards to Covid and other airborne viruses. We ask that if you do show signs of possible infection or have knowingly been exposed that you test before you attend an event and wear a mask. Currently we will not reimburse ticket costs if you choose to stay home from the event. Stay informed by reading the CDC Prevention documentation.
Privacy Policy
All information provided to Sanctum by members or non members in regards to personal information including but not limited to: identity, sexuality, grievances, and other information provided in confidence will remain confidential. No information will be shared without the written agreement of all members involved or if attached to a crime that ethically/legally must be reported to the authorities.
Consent Policy
Attendance to Sanctum events does not indicate or imply consent to engage in any contact or activity with any other person. Prior consent must be obtained from other persons before engaging in any contact or activity with them. Prior consent must be affirmative, verbal, explicit, and specific. Once given, consent may be revoked at any time, at which time all contact or activity must immediately stop. I understand that the word “Safeword” is a verbal revocation of consent. Continuing any activity that was consented to after one or more parties has used “Safeword” is a violation of the consent of those parties and grounds for expulsion from an event and/or any future events. Any consent incidents should be brought to the attention of a Dungeon Facilitator or event host.
