Capsule 08 — Values 4-5

Your face and the
buddy system

Managing your energy with awareness — How to navigate a long night without putting others or yourself at risk.

"True freedom expresses itself through shared awareness."

This capsule highlights two flagship values of the S.O.U.L. culture: "Your Face," a symbol of authentic expression and freedom to be yourself, and the "Buddy System," built on solidarity and shared vigilance. Between confidences, laughter, and reflections, it explores the balance between self-affirmation and collective care, reminding us that conscious partying is lived together — in presence, goodwill, and mutual responsibility.

Memorable quotes

"Just because you're using substances doesn't mean you're free from accountability."

"Sometimes we dance and we look really serious — it's okay to wear whatever face you want; but walking through a crowd with a smile opens the way."

"If you're using, make sure someone knows about it."
