Membership Policies
Membership Values
To make Inochi a safe and welcoming place, we ask all our members, their guests and our teams to follow our standards of behavior.
Kindness and Respect
Inochi is created to be a place of inclusivity. Inochi celebrates diversity. We do not judge on gender, race, religion, political views, sexuality or physicality. We expect our members and guests to do the same.
Positive Interaction
Respect is fundamental. We have a collective responsibility to ensure that racist, sexist, homophobic or any form of abusive language is not tolerated.
Decent Behavior
Having fun is always encouraged; being over-familiar or inappropriate is not. If you or your guests are found abusing alcohol or drugs at Inochi, or behaving in a way that upsets other members, action will be taken.
Respecting Privacy
Members and their guests should be mindful of approaching people who may deem it as unwanted attention. Doing so may lead to suspension or termination of membership.
Inochi Member Pledge
Inochi is a space for its diverse community and teams to find connection, regulation, and inspiration. We operate a zero-tolerance approach to any social bias and discrimination.
