unityHaven Guidelines
unityHaven is SOAK’s BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color)-centric community space for participants to hang out, build connections and host events! Allies and advocates can participate when the interaction is welcomed by other BIPOC participants. This is SOAK's first year building unityHaven, and it is organized by our Radical Inclusion Department's volunteers.
This intentional space serves as a foundation for you to share with others, whether that be knowledge, spa hour, dance party, storytelling, or just to meet fellow community members! We are providing shade, seating, swag, snacks, even a propane fire pit! We're constantly improving based on community needs, so if you have ideas on how we can make unityHaven better for future events, you can add your email and thoughts to the Feedback Journal or email us at Email radicalinclusion@soakpdx.com.
Leave No Trace (LNT)! Take all items (including trash) you brought with you and leave the space better than you found it so others can enjoy the space fully!
unityHaven is a 24/7 space! However, unityHaven is located in ZONE 2 Sound Area, meaning no sound above a conversation level is permitted 3 am - 10 am.
We welcome your decor and whatever else you'd like to bring to the space, but do not take responsibility for your items left unattended. If you find items left behind (phone, cup, hat, etc.) you can return it to the Embassy, located near R3 on the SOAK Map.
Want to host an event? Wonderful! Add info, date and time to the sandwich board to advertise! Make sure your event does not overlap with someone else’s event at unityHaven by checking the sandwich board for events listed.
All furniture and comfort items provided by SOAK are to remain in unityHaven, including but not limited to infrastructure (chairs, tables, fire pit, sandwich board, etc.), and resources (flyers, map, Feedback Journal, water jug, etc.).
See the map for locations of bathrooms, medical tent, Rangers, Embassy and more!
If you have any questions/concerns, please contact a staff member/Ranger(see “Need Help” flyer for more details).
Just for fun, here’s the layout of unityHaven out there! Looking forward to seeing what we co-create there!
