For those who are with us at midnight, we’ll close the evening with a Lights Out Ceremony.

This idea was inspired by a similar ceremony folks who. we know created for the farewell festival at Honest Ed’s, where, at the very end, they turned off the remaining lamps to mark the close of a cherished space. Our Lights Out ceremony will involve turning off our beloved balloon lamp, affectionately known as our "security system."

Throughout our time with the Living Room, we’ve been intentional about building trust with our community. Rather than relying on typical security measures we chose a different approach. We’ve kept security low-key by avoiding imposing barriers,  we have no surveillance cameras and we’ve shared our keys and lockbox code with a lot of community members to foster a spirit of openness.

Every night when we closed, we turned off all the lights except the balloon lamp. We felt that its warm glow symbolized both transparency and a comforting presence, creating the subtle impression that someone was still there. This simple ritual became our “security system,” reflecting our intentions for trust and our playful spirit.

For this experience, we will turn off the ballon lamp at midnight and then say thanks to the space and each other as we all leave together.
