Circles
Local autonomy, shared strength. Circles are where governance happens — where you know your neighbors, make decisions together, and build trust face to face.
Meet Regularly
Circles gather monthly (at minimum) to connect, discuss, and make decisions together.
Consent-Based
Decisions pass unless there's a principled objection. Every voice matters.
Local Autonomy
Your circle sets its own norms, partnerships, and meeting cadence. The network provides infrastructure, not mandates.
