How We Operate

Sydney ConFesters gatherings are different to most other get-togethers. Please read this introduction to get the most from your experience:

There are no staff, only volunteers at Sydney ConFesters – everyone who comes does what needs to be done and this is what makes our gatherings special. If you see something needs doing, do it. Feel free to ask for advice and help.

Sydney ConFesters is about learning to live together and care for each other. Please be aware of your words and actions and how others may feel in response.

Sydney Confest Food

Drugs and alcohol are not welcome at Sydney ConFesters gatherings. Sydney ConFesters love to get high on life and avoid drugs and alcohol.

Sydney ConFesters has a no pets policy. No exceptions.  Even our avid pet-loving ConFesters leave their furry kids at home. You will not be admitted if you bring your pets.

Sydney ConFesters enjoy the beauty, sounds and scents of the Australian bush – please do not play any recorded music and do not smoke in communal areas. By all means bring your acoustic instruments.

Sydney ConFesters is all about sharing – no commercial activities please.

Clothing is optional – you are welcome to wear clothes or not, the choice is yours.

Sydney ConFesters is a place for people to feel free to learn and do things differently – being photographed or filmed can make it harder to do this. Please do not take photographs of people until you have their agreement to do so. Children under 16 may be photographed only if their parents are present and agree.
