Mantra #1 — The Underground Ethics Charter

Take Care
of Yourself

Your vibe shapes the night — One of the 10 mantras of the Underground Ethics Charter, an ethical framework for a more conscious nightlife culture.

Participate

"Taking care of yourself is not selfish: it's the foundation of a healthy, sustainable collective experience."

What this means in practice

  • Be attentive to your body's needs: drink, breathe, slow down, rest
  • Respect your limits rather than blindly pushing past them
  • Maintain enough clarity to stay respectful and stable
  • Own the impact of your choices
  • Cultivate a conscious relationship with your energy and inner state

Why it matters

When individual balance breaks down, the space becomes unstable. When people stay present and regulated, the magic flows naturally.

Take care of yourself — your vibe shapes the night.

The context

Taking care of yourself is not a personal detail — it directly shapes the night's atmosphere. The energy, clarity and balance of each person influences the safety, flow and quality of the collective experience. A conscious body creates a conscious space.

The dancefloor is a space of freedom, intensity and connection — but true freedom is not losing control. It's the ability to listen to yourself, recognize your limits, adjust your energy and stay grounded in presence. Every choice — rest, hydration, pace, attention — ripples through the space.
