Our Values
1. Radical Inclusion
Everyone is welcome here, no matter who they are, where they come from, or how they express themselves. There’s no VIP section for humanity — we’re all in this together. If you want to be here, you belong here.
2. Consent
We look out for each other, and that starts with respect. Whether it’s on the dance floor, during a conversation, or when taking photos, everything starts with a clear yes. We honor each other’s boundaries — always.
3. Co-Creation
This space thrives because of what we all bring to it. Whether you’re submitting your own music, DJing, helping with setup, dancing with wild abandon, or just showing up with good energy, you’re part of the magic. We make it together.
4. Immediacy
Be here now. This is about being fully present. Letting go of the outside noise and sinking into the moment. The music, the people, the energy… they all happening in real-time, and that’s where the beauty lives.
5. Gratitude
We don’t take this space or each other for granted. Whether it’s a DJ dropping the perfect track, a stranger sharing a smile, or just the chance to be together at all, we recognize the gift of this experience.
6. Authentic Expression
This is a no-costume-required costume party — come exactly as you are. Loud, quiet, bold, soft, silly, soulful, weird — however you show up, that’s your art. This space celebrates realness over performance.
7. Freedom to Feel
Joy, release, sadness, laughter, stillness — it’s all valid. You don’t have to perform happiness or keep your vibe “high.” This is a space where feelings are welcome and healing is part of the rhythm.
8. Community over Clout
This isn’t about who you know, how many followers you have, or what you're wearing. It’s about the connections we build, the conversations we share, and the respect we show each other. We show up for each other, not for the 'gram.
9. ZERO Tolerance for Hate
No racism, no homophobia, no transphobia, no misogyny, no ableism, no hate — period. If that’s your energy, this isn’t your space. We protect our people and hold the line with love and firmness.
