- GROUP PROMOTION: Each group may bring flyers or posters advertising membership, donations, and meetings.
- DRINKING: Bring your own booze should be limited to beer and wine, no hard liquors. Everyone should drink responsibly and don't get sloshed. Save the hard drinking for the after parties in outside bars.
- RESPECT FOR DIFFERENCES: While there is overlap among the groups, not every group is the same and thinks the same. Respect each other's differences and different ideologies. Look for common ground not for things to hate. We're all friends here, treat each other as such.
- ARGUMENTS: Listen to each other’s opinion completely in good faith. Ask questions about other's points instead of immediately dismissing. Approach taboo subjects--such as sex, religion, and politics--with strangers cautiously; back out if getting heated. Agree to disagree and walk away if necessary.

- FTI: The Shaman's DreamsLink visible for attendees
Some shamans say that we in the West are "dreaming the wrong dream." What does this mean? And how can we dream a better one?
In this FREE live online experience, you will begin to explore sleeping dreams, visionary experiences, and daydreams through shamanic eyes. You will be briefly introduced to the practice of shamanism, followed by these three different kinds of dreams, the gifts that each of them can bring, first hand interpretation of sleeping and waking dreams, and the vital power that daydreams hold in creating our personal and collective realities.
You will also embark on a guided shamanic journey to the Land of Dreams to, among other things, be shown what you are daydreaming into existence, and how to change it for the benefit of yourself, others, and all of life.
No prior experience necessary. Make sure that you attend this event in a quiet space in which you will not be disturbed. Optional items to bring include something to cover your eyes with and headphones for a deeper listening experience.
