Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: fragrances (was indiv vs group)

Sharon, it shouldn't be necessary to have "evidence" to veto anything 
that someone is allergic to! That's like saying people are allergic to 
cats, so we'll only allow cats in on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and they'll 
only lie on half the couches.....

If it does help, you can note that at RoseWind, the CH ground rules 
include (for any users, members or outside groups) No incense, scented 
candles, smudge, or other intentional fragrances. 

We learned the hard way, after a meditation group incensed the place and 
several of us couldn't be in there for days. 

I urge you to take a strong stand- this is access stuff, just as much as 
wheelchair access. If it's full of fragrance, I'm just as excluded as a 
person in a wheelchair confronted with a long flight of stairs.
