The goal is compatibility, not exclusivity. We select for character — never profession, income, education, age, politics, or status.
Someone who understands the culture introduces you — and shares this site so you can decide whether it resonates.
A few written questions about values — your experience with connection, why you want this, what you'll contribute.
Informal conversations with two or three members. Not interviews — a sense of whether you show up emotionally.
Existing members confirm the fit by consent. You join a circle that chose you — and that you chose back.
Every new member is paired with an existing member for their first 90 days — someone whose job is making sure you land.
Every two weeks, minimum — in person when you can, on a video call when travel or life gets in the way. Missing occasionally is human; disappearing is not. Friendship grows through consistency.
Potluck dinners, shared meals, coffee, walks, conversation — every two weeks, format decided by each circle. No agenda, no presentations, no forced icebreakers, no networking.
Membership is free. The commitment is not.
No dues, no fees, no ads, no sponsors with agendas. Costs are shared organically — the potluck model.
A formal pledge, made by every circle.
If someone in our circle experiences a death in the family, serious illness, surgery, divorce, job loss, a move, or a personal crisis — the circle shows up.
Meals, visits, calls, rides, practical help. Not because someone organized it. Because that's what circles do.
Membership is by referral. If a member shared this site with you, that's your invitation.
