If a founding member shared this page with you, you're being invited into the first fifteen — the people who set the culture every future circle inherits. That's a bigger deal than membership. It's authorship.
The first gatherings define what "normal" feels like — how vulnerable people get, how reliably people show up. Culture is set by example, then inherited verbatim by every new chapter.
Naples runs three to four months as proof of concept. Bangkok and Los Cabos launch only when this circle demonstrates real gatherings, real stories, real data.
The remaining seats fill through personal referral. You're vouching for character — genuine, kind, reliable, emotionally mature — never status or résumé.
Leaderless by design starts here: rotate facilitation from the first gathering, elect a coordinator within the year, and build a circle that outlives its founders.
First potluck. Names, stories, no agenda. Agree on rhythm — every two weeks, format decided together. Adopt The Fifteen Promise aloud.
Start the celebration calendar and "no one eats alone." First coffee conversations with referred applicants. Buddy pairs form as new members land.
Baseline well-being surveys complete. Facilitation has rotated through several members. The circle has shown up for someone at least once — because life will provide the occasion.
This site is your invitation tool.
Think of someone genuine, kind, and reliable — someone who shows up. Send them this site and say: "This made me think of you."
If it resonates, they apply through you. Two or three of us take them for coffee. The circle confirms the fit together. No pressure at any step — the right people recognize this immediately.
