Mantra #8 — The Underground Ethics Charter

Keep It Safe
and Clean

Trust creates magic — One of the 10 mantras of the Underground Ethics Charter, an ethical framework for a more conscious nightlife culture.

Participate

"Safety and integrity are the invisible foundation of all real freedom. Without trust, no celebration can truly breathe."

What this means in practice

  • Respect shared belongings, equipment and spaces
  • Return lost items and act with honesty
  • Refuse any form of abuse, manipulation or ambiguous behavior
  • Act clearly, responsibly and in line with the spirit of the venue

Why it matters

When safety is fragile, magic contracts. When trust is strong, everything flows.

Keep it safe and clean — trust creates magic.

The context

A safe and clean space allows everyone to feel confident, relax and express themselves fully. When the venue is respected and behaviors are clear, the magic flows naturally. Taking care of the space means taking care of the community.

A living space rests on trust, clarity and respect for shared rules. Safety doesn't limit freedom — it makes it possible. When everyone acts with integrity, the space becomes stable, fluid and welcoming for all.
