SITE / EVENT CULTURE NOTES ~ PLEASE READ:
This event is created and presented in perfect love and perfect trust; the site will be considered sacred space throughout the event. Event attendees may attend as many or as few of the scheduled activities as they choose. Any participant who violates the safety of the space or others, or violates the law, will be asked to leave immediately.
The site will be clothing-optional (which does mean optional ~ clothes or no clothes, it’s all good).
There will be an Aphrodite/Pan Shrine available for those participants 18+ ~ no exceptions.
The main ritual Saturday night in the Sean Ciall tradition will be skyclad (naked) for all ritual participants.
Event attendees may choose not to attend the main ritual but spectators are not allowed.
All other events are clothing-optional rather than required skyclad.
As a community we care for each other:
OLOTEAS is designed to be a safe space for everyone. We each have different spiritual and cultural backgrounds, and we come together to intentionally create a welcoming and inclusive environment in which personal responsibility is encouraged, and bodily autonomy is respected. We ask everyone to participate in our welcoming culture as you interact with others here.
- Please shower before entering the pool and hot tub.
- Please wear a mask if you are more comfortable doing so.
- We ask that you wash your hands frequently, especially before and after meals.
- Please do not attend if you are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness.
- In case of medical emergency, call 911. In case of medical mishap, call for first aid using radios located at the Registration Booth, Outdoor Kitchen, or Longhouse front room. Self-service first aid (band-aids, etc.) are located at the Outdoor Kitchen.

Directions to the Longhouse:
Take 520 eastbound to the Redmond Way/Fall City (WA 202) Exit. Turn right at the light at the end of the off ramp. Go approximately 5 miles on Redmond-Fall City Road. Driveway is on the right, 23301 (directly across from SmartStop Self Storage). If you pass Albertson's, you have gone about 100 yards too far. When you first pull into the drive you should immediately see a large wooden sign that says The Longhouse; if you don’t you are in the neighbors’ drive.
