Code of Conduct

This is a drug-free, alcohol-free, and smoke-free camp.

Parking is available and all vehicles should be parked in designated parking areas. Only authorized vehicles are allowed to drive or park within camp boundaries. Click Here for new parking info about low impact parking, paid parking and handicapped parking.

While we share in the love for our animal friends, please do not bring your pets. We cannot accommodate them on site.

Please leave your environment cleaner than when you arrived. We ask that you “pack it in and pack it out” (if you brought it in, please take it with you when you leave). However, compost, recycle and landfill containers are provided to serve you. More on Solstice ECO-3HO.

You may not take pictures during a White Tantric Yoga® exercise.

What we wear reflects our Spirit. Please wear clothes that reflect your grace and radiance. Clothing should include undergarments. Transparent clothing is not appropriate.

Any conduct deamed inappropriate by 3HO may be grounds for dismissal from camp.

3HO reserves the right to remove any participant not adhering to the camp Code of Conduct.

Filming and Photography

Team 3HO® Foundation encourages you to record your experiences at Solstice through filming and photography. We are happy for you to share your reflections of Solstice, and we consider this to be a valuable way of communicating the joy and vibrancy of the Global Community of Living Yoga.

We also need your consent to share the words and images that our Photography Team records during the event. Please review the guidelines for Filming and Photography so that issues of privacy and copyright are well understood. You will be required to sign this consent and release/liability form at on-site registration.

Attendees are prohibited from taking pictures or recording (video or audio) teachers, classes, workshops, and White Tantric Yoga® exercises without prior consent. The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan are copyrighted by the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI). In the event cameras and audio/video recorders are being used in violation of this requirement, we reserve the right to take possession of the tape(s), film(s), disc(s), and if necessary, equipment.

Fire Safety

Each year at the start of Solstice, the management team is educated by the Española Fire Department on protocol in the event of a fire. We take this training annually to remind ourselves of the potential for fire and how to respond and take care of the Solstice Community. The Española Fire Department is aware and alert to our event each year.

The Legacy of Yogiji Foundation (LYF) maintains the fire extinguishers on site at GRDP and each season they are checked and charged as needed. Fire extinguishers are placed as per fire safety regulations. Each year, LYF clears brush, dead trees, and maintains a fire break. LYF also maintains the length of grass throughout Guru Ram Das Puri, and all grass in the parking area is mowed prior to the event to ensure safety.

As a participant, you contribute by remembering that candles, matches, cigarettes, incense, and other combustible materials are prohibited at Guru Ram Das Puri.

Leaving the Site During Solstice

To maintain your meditative experience, please avoid going off site for phone calls or shopping. If you do need to go off site, you must take your Solstice badge which you will need to pass through security. Participants under the age of 18 cannot leave unless chaperoned by their parent or legal guardian. This policy has been created for your safety and so that the Solstice team can be aware of who is on site or off site in the case of an emergency.

Medical Facilities

We have basic first-aid facilities at the Guru Ram Das Puri campsite. An emergency hospital is approximately 25 minutes away in Española. If you are on medication please make sure you bring an adequate supply with you, and continue with your medication use as prescribed by your doctor. Medical doctors, chiropractors, and other health professionals are available on-site to provide first-aid for acute medical conditions. If you have any special health needs or are taking any medications, please notify the first-aid staff when you arrive and they will help you make any necessary arrangements. Please be certain to bring your proof of proper medical insurance or money in case of major medical emergency. If you have any specific concerns regarding how this experience may affect your health, please consult your physician before this event begins. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact Customer Service. Please Note: Kundalini Yoga is a powerful ancient tradition, but should not be used as a substitute for regular or necessary medical care or prescribed medications.
