🔑 PLAY SPACE REGULATION & CONSENT

• Regulators oversee Play Spaces, maintain the vibe, answer questions, and enforce consent throughout the event.
• Upon arrival, attendees receive DOORientation™—a rundown on etiquette, consent, Play Spaces, and how the event works.
• Entry to Play Spaces requires completion of The Vibe Check™—a checkpoint at the entrance to every Play Space, staffed by Regulators.
• The Vibe Check™ is where Regulators assess whether someone is a good fit to enter a Play Space at that time.
• Play Spaces are for participation, not solicitation.
• Attendees enter Play Spaces with the people they intend to Play with.
• Entrants do not interrupt Play already in progress.
• Depending on the venue layout, designated observation areas may be available.
• Entry into a Play Space is a privilege that may be denied or revoked at any time.
• Consent expectations and etiquette are reinforced throughout the event.
• Failure to follow consent standards, Regulator instructions, or Play Space etiquette will result in removal from the event and future events.
• Everybody is welcome at Life Itself. Discrimination of any kind is treated as a consent violation.

Note: Anyone may use any Play Space they identify with, subject to its access requirements. Designated Play Spaces are additive, not restrictive.

📚 NEW TO LIFE ITSELF?

The Life Itself Events Network is the social enterprise normalizing Play. We throw Playjacent™ parties & build Playjacent™ spaces.

A Playjacent™ event is designed to amplify connection by shaping the environment around it—the social flow, the curation of place, and the different worlds people can choose to explore.

Rather than scripting the Play itself, we design the conditions that make Play possible.

Life Itself events combine nightlife, creativity, conversation, games, performance, immersive experiences, music, social exploration, and regulated Play Spaces into one connected experience.

Come to dance.
Come to explore.
Come to flirt, wander, Play, and meet the new year.
