The Member Charter.
The short, binding document behind everything. It defines what the house is for, what it refuses, and what members can expect from one another. Every later decision references it.
Written down, referenced often.
-
01
Privacy as a practice, not a tactic.
What happens in the house stays in the house. Default confidentiality for all gatherings.
-
02
Stewardship over ownership.
Members steward the house; they do not possess it. The objects are stewarded, not owned.
-
03
Sovereignty.
No priestly intermediation of any kind. Members are responsible for their own discernment.
-
04
Truth over performance.
Evenings and gatherings are never content. They are rooms.
-
05
Reciprocity.
Members give as much to the field as they take from it.
The single most important clause.
The house operates under default confidentiality. Names, conversations, images, and proprietary work shared inside the house do not leave it. Exceptions are explicit, not implied.
We do not ask you to convert.
We ask only that you can be inside a room run this way without friction — and that you can defend that room from dilution when required.
Confidentiality · Commitment · Reciprocity.
“A charter is a short document with long consequences. If you cannot defend it, you cannot be a member of the house it builds.”
The short, binding document at the heart of the house.
Questions, answered.
Is the charter public?
The principles are public. The full internal charter is a member document.
Can the charter change?
Yes, through the governance process. Not unilaterally. Not quickly.
What happens if a member breaks the charter?
The house responds with proportional seriousness. Small breaches are addressed privately. Serious breaches end membership.
A private sanctuary is an act of discernment on both sides.
There is no mass onboarding and no public waitlist. Share a little about who you are and why now, and a steward of the house will reach out privately.
