Community Guidelines

Collective Act supports open and dynamic discussion where all are welcomed, regardless of background, experience, ability, or expertise. We ask everyone to follow our Community Guidelines below when contributing to our digital and physical spaces to ensure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. 

Community Guidelines

• Be considerate and respectful of others and their experiences. No two Dreamachine experiences are the same and each one is valid, that is what makes it so fascinating. 
• We encourage healthy discussion and sharing of ideas, but Dreamachine isn’t a place for political or religious debate.
• Be conscious of what may be triggering or offensive language. 

Further support

Powerful feelings or memories can be part of the Dreamachine experience. We encourage anyone struggling to reach out to the organisations below for advice and/or support.
