Core Principles

The Big Dub Ethos

Big Dub thrives on the energy of its community.
One person out of balance can disrupt the vibe, while a collective focused on intention, kindness, and awareness creates a feeling you can’t describe unless you were there.
KEEP BIG DUB GREAT.


CONSENT

This cannot be emphasized enough.

Consent means:
• Asking before touching, hugging, or entering someone’s space
• Respecting verbal, physical, conversational, and emotional boundaries
• Never assuming interest or comfort
• Checking in, communicating, and listening

If anyone violates your consent or makes you feel unsafe, find security or ask any staff member to radio them. We handle these situations professionally, discreetly, and with care for the person affected.


RADICAL SELF-RELIANCE

Bring what you need. Know how to use it. Take care of yourself.
It’s not cool to assume someone else will feed you, hydrate you, or supply you.
Preparedness is sexy. “Don’t be a d*ck” by putting your needs on others.


RADICAL SELF-EXPRESSION

Your spark is welcome here.
Be weird. Be wild. Be yourself.
Big Dub is a place where people shine in their own unique way.


PARTICIPATION

This is not a spectator festival.
Workshops, theme nights, camp activities, adventures, and community moments all come alive when you lean in.
Step out of your comfort zone and help create the magic.


GIFTING

Gifting means giving with no expectation of return.
A small act of kindness can change someone’s entire weekend.
We also give back through free events and shared experiences, but the purest version is simply helping others when you can.


ACCEPTANCE & INCLUSION

Everyone deserves to feel welcomed and valued.
Big Dub is a space free of judgment.
Accept others as they are, just as you want to be accepted.
We grow stronger when we support each other.


RESPECT & MINDFULNESS

Your actions affect the people around you.
Move through the festival with awareness.
Treat others with respect, kindness, and consideration at all times.


LEAVE NO TRACE

Leave this sacred land better than you found it.

This means:
• Don’t litter
• Keep your campsite clean
• Pack out ALL trash at the end
• Use a pocket ashtray or container for cigarette butts
• Treat the land with gratitude and respect

If you’re unsure where something goes, ask a staff member—we’re here to help.


LIVE THE PRINCIPLES BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN

These values don’t stop when the festival ends.
Bring them into your daily life and help make the world a little better.
The change starts within you.
