The Ember Ethos

The Ember Ethos

Everything we do is built around the PRICK consent model — Personal Responsibility, Informed, Consensual Kink. Which means every person is responsible for communicating honestly, acting with care, and respecting others. We’ve expanded on this model to form our values:

RESPECT.  PRICK NOT DICKS.

R — Respecting the repair process. We acknowledge harm can happen. Respect means engaging in repair with accountability, care, and a willingness to listen and grow. 

E — Education happens in many forms. Learning comes from classes, experience, reflection, and community. Curiosity and humility are part of growth. 

S — Shared spaces and shared responsibility. Our spaces are collective. Safety, care, and upkeep are everyone’s responsibility. 

P — Property, people, and relationships. We respect bodies, belongings, time, and connections. No one is owed access, labor, or emotional energy. 

E — Explicit, ongoing consent. Consent is clear, informed, and reversible. It applies to touch, language, power, and participation. 

C — Community accountability. Accountability centers care, impact, and growth — not punishment or avoidance. 

T — Time, presence, and participation. Trust is built by showing up, being present, and engaging with the community over time.
