Consent Workshop (in Romanian)

To attend most of our events, you will need to participate in our mandatory Consent Workshop that we offer in Romanian and English. If you’re new to InFLUX, there are only a few events you can attend.

1 - Intro to the Scene

Socializing events - such as Poly Monthly, an event where we discuss topics surrounding polyamory, open relationships, and more; or Munches, where we gather up and talk about things that happen in the BDSM and kink community. You can come to these events without having attended our Consent Workshop before. The Consent Workshop is mandatory for everyone new who wants to attend any other event besides the ones mentioned above.

2 - Mentorship in the scene

Once you've been to our Consent Workshop, you will have access to all our educational events. These will include workshops, artistic performances, and alternative events.

We try to make the space as safe as possible. For this, we take several measures of safety. Our first measure is the Levels for events, insuring that people are first educated about consent, sex positivity and inclusiveness before being able to participate in everything else.

Monitors - All of our events have monitors. Monitors are volunteers known and trusted to the space, who make sure everything goes smoothly during the event. They go through training and are more than happy to answer questions, guide you or deal with any issues that might appear. At every event they will be wearing a green armband so you can quickly spot them. When an event requires an added layer of safety, paid security will be present at the location. It is recommended you "use" the monitors on the spot, at the event, to report anything that has just occurred.

Ambassadors - These volunteers out of the community are there to keep communication channels open. They will tell us anything you need us to know (consent violations, complaints, etc.) without revealing your identity. If you choose to reveal your identity at a later date, they will also take care of that, but their main job is to make sure the information gets to us without putting you on the spot. It is recommended you "use" the ambassadors when you communicate things (complaints, consent violations, etc.) that happened outside of the venue.

The report box - Inside the venue's toilets you will find an anonymous report box. In there, you can drop any information you deem relevant but are uncomfortable speaking about to another human being. Know that while we will be reading all the notes, they will weigh less in our decision-making regarding issues that appear. That is because it is much harder to verify the source of the complaint. But they will help keep communication channels open while fully protecting your identity.

At InFLUX, we want to encourage the people in our community to organize and host events that align with our values. Our doors are open for anyone, as long as they respect the principles of consent and respect the space itself. For a regular organizer at InFLUX, note that we can negotiate a flat fee or a percentage of earnings.

If you are at the intersection of multiple marginalized communities and your idea is valuable to community building and people feeling at home, we might waive the fee entirely.

We know that paying for event tickets is a privilege. We don't want anyone to feel left out or not have access to the information and pleasure they need because of money. Our pricing is flexible, which is why we have a few options that we think are fitting for everyone.

If you can afford it, you can either pay the full price or a little bit over. We know not everyone who wants to join our events can afford to pay regularly, which is why if you have the possibility to pay a little extra, know that this money will compensate for someone else’s ticket.

You can also help us by volunteering and making things easier and better for everyone. And you will have free access to most InFLUX events. This solution is for people who have more time available to get involved and help us on an ongoing basis.

Note that our events with international teachers and presenters have fixed prices - and though they cannot be negotiated, we might be able to offer support to those in need from our community fund. Talk to us about it and we’ll figure it out together!
