Accessibility & Inclusion
Mama Killa World (MKW)
Scope: spiritual/educational & wellness activities (non-medical)
Last updated: 17/10/2025
MKW believes accessibility and inclusion are essential to a safe space. This policy explains how to request accommodations, what support we offer, and our operational limits to protect everyone’s safety, dignity, and autonomy.
1) Principles
Dignity & respect: kind conduct, non-judgment, inclusive language.
Non-discrimination: zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination based on gender, orientation, culture, ability, age (18+ only), beliefs, or origin.
Safety first: individual and group safety come first; some accommodations may require adjusting the practice.
Non-medical scope: MKW does not diagnose or treat disease; our support is spiritual/educational and logistical, not clinical.
2) Languages & communication
Primary language: English.
We can facilitate in English, Spanish, and Papiamentu, with support in Dutch when required.
Key materials: summaries and forms can be provided in these languages—please request in advance.
Interpretation: we’ll try to arrange community interpretation when feasible; it may require more time and/or added cost.
3) How to request accommodations (process)
Tell us your needs when booking via WhatsApp or in the web form.
Recommended lead time: 7–14 days before the event (longer for retreats and complex accommodations).
Helpful info:
Mobility, vision/hearing, neurodivergence, allergies, diet, medication, medical devices.
Specific supports that work for you (e.g., chair with backrest, interpreter, frequent breaks).
Written confirmation: we’ll confirm what’s possible, what adjustments we’ll make, and any safety limits.
Confidentiality: we treat this as health-sensitive information under Health & Safety – Privacy.
4) Common supports we can offer
Physical space: backed chairs, seats near exits/restrooms, rest areas, soft lighting, extra mats.
Signage & orientation: clear signs, paced verbal directions, optional walkthrough of the space.
Breaks & pacing: micro-breaks, option to participate seated, brief exits and guided return.
Sensory environment: low-stimulation zones (moderate light/sound); low-fragrance request when possible.
Communication: plain language facilitation, recaps, and time for questions.
Diet & beverages: separated table for common allergens (if applicable); water available (guided hydration per practice).
Media & privacy: Green/Yellow/Red consent system for photos/videos; NO by default in deep practices.
Financial (when announced): limited solidarity-priced spots or payment plans; ask for availability.
5) Mobility & access
Venue entry: we’ll inform you of barriers (steps, slopes, uneven paths) and assistance options.
Restrooms: we’ll indicate available accessibility or nearby alternatives.
Onsite transfers: staff can escort short distances within our capacity.
Wheelchairs/canes: welcome; we’ll adapt the circle layout.
6) Sensory support & neurodivergence
Light/sound: we aim for moderate levels; tell us if you need relocation.
Clear signaling: predictable structure (opening → intention → practice → integration → closing).
Partial opt-out: you may observe or pause briefly without losing your spot—just inform the team.
Regulation items: earplugs, eye mask, personal blanket, quiet fidgets are welcome.
7) Allergies, scents & food
Low-fragrance request: please avoid strong perfumes.
Food allergies: share details; if food is included, we’ll label main ingredients.
First-aid kit: we carry basics; we do not administer medications to others.
8) Medication, devices & assistance
Personal meds: self-administer only; we do not modify medical regimens.
Medical devices (e.g., glucometer, inhaler): welcome; tell us where you’ll keep them.
Service animals: contact us in advance; we’ll try to accommodate while respecting allergies and venue rules.
9) Limits & higher-risk practices
Some practices require stricter criteria or may be incompatible with certain conditions. To protect you, MKW may adapt, postpone, or decline participation when:
There are contraindications (e.g., cardiac disease/arrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, pregnancy/breastfeeding, seizure history, recent surgery, medications with significant interactions).
Current medications create notable risk (MAOIs, SSRIs/SNRIs, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, diuretics, beta-blockers, anticoagulants).
The environment/support required cannot be safely guaranteed by the venue.
For Kambô and Ayahuasca (higher-risk practices), specific protocols, reinforced screening, and additional consent apply. Ayahuasca is facilitated only where legally permitted and with local legal guidance.
10) Participation alternatives
Partial participation (e.g., meditation/integration without the medicine component).
Rescheduling to a more suitable format/space.
Referral to external professionals (psychology/medical) if clinical needs arise.
11) Conduct & social inclusion
Zero harassment and zero discrimination; report any incident to staff.
Respectful language: avoid pejoratives or invasive terms; ask people how they prefer to be addressed.
Confidentiality: do not share others’ stories outside the group without permission.
12) Emergencies & incidents
Staff may pause the activity, provide first aid, and call medical services.
We keep an incident record and provide aftercare guidance and referrals when appropriate.
When in doubt, choose your safety and inform us immediately.
13) Privacy & data
We handle accessibility data under Health & Safety – Privacy (purpose, legal basis, retention, and rights).
We do not sell data; we share only with emergency services or authorities when required by law.
14) Participant commitments
Disclose truthfully your conditions, medication, and support needs.
Follow the Preparation Guide, Sobriety Policy, Conduct Guidelines, and staff instructions.
Ask for breaks, relocation, or assistance during the activity whenever needed.
15) Updates
This policy may be updated for operational improvements or regulatory changes. The current version will be published on our site.
