Membership Policies

Membership Values

To make Inochi a safe and welcoming place, we ask all our members, their guests and our team 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

A shared understanding of behavior is essential to creating a safe and welcoming time at Inochi. 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, regulatory action will be taken.

Respecting Privacy

Inochi being a private space away from the general public, members and their guests should be mindful of approaching others 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.
