1. Age Requirement:
- Mosaic prioritizes creating an inclusive and respectful environment for participants of all ages. Please note that anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and we will check IDs at the gate to ensure compliance with this policy. Everyone ages 13 and up is required to register as a Catalyst or apply as a Creator. Children ages 12 and under do not require registration or an application.
- At Mosaic, we believe in fostering a community where everyone actively contributes to the unique and transformative experience. By encouraging children ages 13 and up to register as Catalysts or apply as Creators, we aim to instill a sense of participation and responsibility in the younger members of our community. This approach allows them to engage with the gathering in a more intentional and meaningful way, contributing to the collective energy and becoming active agents in co-creating the Mosaic experience. It's a way of empowering the next generation to play a vital role in shaping the culture of our community.
Please note: While we uphold standards that prohibit graphic sexual content, gore, and hateful speech, we embrace tasteful and artistic expressions, including nudity and discussions of challenging subject matter. During the day, we're committed to maintaining a PG-rated atmosphere. However, as the evening unfolds after 10 pm, we encourage parents to gauge their comfort levels, recognizing the evolving nature of the Mosaic experience.
2. Event Entry:
- In order to gain entry, participants must present the scannable invitation sent in response to registering or applying. The total capacity of Mosaic 2024 is 222 people, and we expect to reach maximum capacity. As such, it is highly unlikely that last-minute registration space will be available at the gate.
3. Assumption of Risk and Liability Waiver:
- While we make every effort to create a safe environment, Mosaic takes place outdoors in a natural setting. Participants should be aware of and accept the inherent risks, including but not limited to weather conditions, wildlife, and uneven terrain.
- By attending Mosaic, you assume all risks associated with your participation and release Mosaic, its organizers, and its staff from any liability for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death that may occur during the event.
- All participants are encouraged to have their health insurance and emergency contact information available while attending Mosaic.
4. Code of Conduct:
- Disrupting the safety or disturbing the experience of other participants is grounds for removal from the event at the discretion of Mosaic staff.
5. Alcohol and Substance Use:
- While alcohol and other legal substances are allowed, we strongly encourage participants to stay present, be mindful and use responsibly if they choose to partake. While we do not condone or encourage mind-altering substance use of any kind, we do condone safe practices for those who choose to partake.
6. Privacy Policy:
- We respect your privacy and will not share your personal information with third parties without your consent. However, we may use your contact information to keep you informed about future Mosaic gatherings, Sondering events, and SPOTLAB experiences that we believe may be of interest to you.
7. Media Release:
- Participants grant permission to Sondering and SPOTLAB to use photographs, video recordings, or any other media taken during the event for promotional purposes. This includes, but is not limited to, use in print, online, and broadcast materials.
8. Accessibility Pledge:
- Mosaic is committed to accessibility and offers an Accessibility Pledge. Participants are encouraged to review and consider supporting this pledge.
9. Use of Application Responses:
- We may also use your application responses, feedback, and/or testimonials for promotional purposes.
10. Environmental Impact Mitigation Fee:
- To address event-related environmental consequences and promote sustainable practices, Gateway Ranch has implemented a nominal Environmental Impact Mitigation Fee. This fee is $30 for vehicles under 24' in length and $60 for vehicles over 24'. It aims to encourage carpooling and minimize the impact of individual vehicles on the delicate ecosystem at Gateway Ranch. 100% of the proceeds from this fee go directly to Gateway Ranch, supporting their environmental sustainability goals. While Gateway Ranch generously donates the land for Mosaic's use at no cost, this fee helps ensure the ongoing preservation of the natural environment we cherish.
