While Kaleidoscope Gathering does not presume to prohibit mutually accepted, affectionate gestures nor to govern the acts of consenting adults in private:

SEXUAL HARASSMENT HAS NO PLACE AT THE KALEIDOSCOPE GATHERING AND IS NOT TOLERATED AT FEST EVENTS!

Peace of mind and body for women, men and (especially) children is most important in a safe environment. Freedom option should be an enjoyable experience for everyone at designated areas and time. Kaleidoscope Gathering expects its members and guests to treat each another with dignity and respect.

Kaleidoscope Gathering members and guests are urged to help maintain our relaxed, family, atmosphere by reacting, in a timely manner, to any situation they feel is unacceptable by the above definitions . If possible, make your disapproval or unease known as soon as possible to the person who offended you, in an attempt to resolve the situation. If the behaviour persists or if you are unable to speak with that person, bring it to the attention of one of the executive organizers, fest security. Complaints are responded to and investigated without delay. Confidentiality is always respected.

Sexual harassment, as defined, can result in expulsion, revocation of membership and attendance to other festivals, where warranted, could lead to criminal prosecution.
