As part of our commitment to creating a successful and enjoyable experience for all participants, we have established these vendor guidelines.

Your adherence to these guidelines is key to our collective success.
Eligibility: Vendors at The Spiritual WTF?! Experience must offer products or services related to spirituality, metaphysics, wellness, and personal development. Any items or services not aligned with this theme may not be approved.
Code of Conduct: We prioritize creating a welcoming and inclusive environment by expecting all participants to treat each other with courtesy, kindness, and respect. This entails practicing open communication, respecting personal boundaries and consent, addressing conflicts constructively, embracing diversity, and complying with event policies. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in disciplinary action.

Ethical Conduct for Readers & Practitioners: At Intuitive WTF Events, we are committed to providing a safe, ethical, and supportive environment for all attendees. All vendors, readers, and practitioners are expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. This includes refraining from any fear-based tactics, manipulative behaviors, or unethical practices designed to exploit or pressure attendees. Any attempt to instill fear or request additional payments for removing "curses" or similar fear-based claims will result in immediate removal from the event. We believe in creating a space that fosters genuine healing, insight, and spiritual growth without exploitation or deception.
Event Promotion: Vendors are strongly encouraged to actively promote their participation in the Spiritual WTF?! Experience through their own marketing channels.
