Lifestyle America Social Club Inc. (LASC)
Lifestyle America Social Club Inc. (LASC) is an education- and community-centered nonprofit social club. Our purpose is to raise standards of safety, consent, and integrity in adult community spaces, starting with The_LODGE in the Hudson Valley and extending across the Northeast.
Why We Exist & Where We’re Going
LASC exists to provide an ethical, education-first foundation for adult social and relationship communities. We believe in building spaces where adults can explore intentionally, supported by clear standards, informed choice, and strong community.
What Guides Our Decisions
Every class, event, policy, and decision at LASC is filtered through a shared set of values. These aren’t slogans – they are operational standards.
Our Hudson Valley Flagship Venue
The_LODGE is the physical heart of LASC – a dedicated venue in the Hudson Valley region where education, community, and curated adult events all live under one roof.
- Essential Education classes and 101-level workshops
- Intermediate and advanced skill-building intensives

Public-facing summaries of key policies are available on our information and event pages to support transparency for participants, partners, and funders.
Built by People Who Show Up
LASC is not just a venue or a logo. It is a growing network of people – leadership, volunteers, presenters, and members – who choose to invest in a safer, more intentional way of doing community.
Leadership at LASC is expected to model the values we teach: integrity, respect, accountability, and service. Titles describe responsibilities – not entitlement. Our goal is to create a culture where leadership is earned, supported, and held to standard, with clear expectations and ongoing feedback.
We recognize that some of the strongest bonds are chosen, not inherited. LASC and The_LODGE are spaces where adults can build those connections through shared effort, shared learning, and shared responsibility for each other’s safety and growth – while respecting privacy, autonomy, and personal boundaries.
Mission, Vision & Organizational Values
Lifestyle America Social Club Inc. (LASC) is an education-centered, community-focused nonprofit organization. We operate in the Hudson Valley region of New York with a growing reach across the Northeast, providing structured education, safer-space practices, and community support for adults engaged in alternative relationship and lifestyle communities.
Education • Community • Integrity • Empower • Evolve
Our mission is to create safe, ethical, and inclusive environments where adults can learn, connect, and grow. We do this by centering high-quality education, consent, and risk awareness in everything we offer – from foundational classes to advanced intensives and curated community events.
LASC exists to raise the standard of safety and integrity in lifestyle spaces, support healthier communication and relationships, and equip community members with practical tools to reduce harm and increase resilience.
Local Roots • Regional Reach • Safer Adult Communities
Our vision is a network of well-supported adult communities where consent, accountability, and education are non-negotiable expectations – not optional extras.
Starting with The_LODGE in the Hudson Valley, and expanding through projects like the Eastern Tennessee Mountain Resort (ETMR), LASC is working toward a future where:
- Education and safety training are readily accessible to participants, organizers, and emerging leaders.
- Safer-space practices and clear policies are the norm at adult events and venues.
- Peer-led communities have the structure, tools, and partnerships they need to thrive and self-govern responsibly.
