Our space includes: the Zoom rooms, the Discord server, and any communication conference attendees have with staff/volunteers in their capacity serving Holy Fire. All Zoom sessions and Discord channels open for attendees engagement have assigned moderators ready to help if there are issues you need immediate assistance with. Moderators will introduce themselves at the start of each session, and all volunteers and staff members will have markers designating them as such on Discord.

  • Holy Fire will not be recorded nor saved to Zoom or any cloud nor drive.

  • All attendees must be 18 years of age or older in order to participate.

  • No minors may be in the vicinity, nor earshot, of the event.

  • Attendees must register; only registered attendees will be admitted.

  • Participants who intend to attend from the same device on the same screen must ensure each individual is registered for the conference; No sharing of links, joining instructions, registration etc. with others.

  • Registration is valid for the registered individual only.

  • Community politics and personal differences are to be left at the door – We are all adults here for our own reasons, if you cannot behave as one do not come.

  • Discrimination will not be tolerated at Holy Fire; This is a racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia free zone.

  • Be kind and tolerant. You will hear numerous spiritual and religious beliefs enumerated during this conference. Please do not start arguments based on differing spiritual beliefs. Respect and appreciate everyone’s views. If you don’t see the Universe the way they do, just move on. We understand that these can be tender places for many people, but try to refrain from being reactive. This is an ecumenical conference and we are honouring many differing views.

  • Threatening and abusive behaviour will not be tolerated. Use courtesy at all times: in all written or verbal comments – respect for beliefs, perspectives, dynamics, sexual orientation, gender expression, race, kinks, family structure etc. 

  • Do not record, screenshot, or capture any of our presenters, participants, volunteers or staff. This applies to sessions on Zoom and all activity on the Discord server. Anyone suspected of violating this rule will be removed from the Zoom/Discord and banned from Holy Fire. 

  • Please be on time. 

  • If requested, please turn your video off as a courtesy to those with limited bandwidth.

  • Keep microphones muted to minimise distractions and background noise. Note: this is especially important when there are two computers in the same room accessing the same session. During a Q&A period the presenter or moderator may ask you to unmute. 

  • We appreciate everyone has something to contribute, please be considerate of how much time you take to share and stay on topic ensuring everyone’s enjoyment and ability to participate.

  • No illegal activities (illegality is relevant to your Parish, Province, State, or Country of residence and or current location) on screen.

  • No online nudity, solo, or partnered sex acts. 

  • CONSENT IS MANDATORY. 

Participants found in breach of any of these policies will first receive a warning and be given the opportunity to rectify their behaviour. Consequences for further violations could result in being removed from the current session, or the entire conference, without a refund. Depending on the nature of violation offenders may be banned from the current event and future renditions.

Our policies apply at all times and will be enforced.

We encourage you to please let us know about any problematic experience you have with anyone during the conference.

If your issue/concern can not be shared with the moderators directly – such as if you have an issue with the moderator personally – so long as your concern does not require immediate action you can email the Holy Fire conference team directly: Ideally issues of concern will be addressed in the present moment however if something was overlooked or you feel needs to be further addressed please email Holy Fire at holyfiremsconference@gmail.com. Holy Fire will only take action when there is a clear violation – This means that reports without associated evidence are welcome and encouraged as they can help us to become aware of any patterns developing, however the moderator team will not act solely on the basis of they/she/he said when there is the absence of personal witnessing or a lack of evidence. Thank you for trusting us with your experiences so we can better help to ensure the co-creation and maintenance of our spiritually aware Ms community.

Understanding and addressing concerns is our priority.
