    Invite your people.

    Start with the people you already talk to. Every invitation comes from someone you know, and they bring in the people they know.

  2. 02

    Pick what matters.

    Bring a topic from your own life, or choose one from a library of conversations that other groups have already had and loved.

  3. 03

    Gather in circles.

    Four to twelve people around one topic. One circle works through the early years with small kids. Another gets honest about money.

  4. 04

    Share with the community.

    When a circle is ready, it passes what it found to everyone else. The whole community learns from each small table.

  5. 05

    Pass it on.

    Good conversations travel to other communities growing the same way. What you said stays with your people. The question goes on.

Sit in on a circle

Some circles keep a seat open. Read the question, add your answer, and see if it’s your kind of table. There’s nothing to set up.

Start a conversation

Ask one question you’d love to hear people answer, and send it to a few of them. A community can grow from there, when you’re ready.
