Answers, honest.

A directory and a practice. The directory helps you find land-based communities that share a specific orientation. The practice is the Living Code — how those communities hold ground together. It is not a dating app, not a coworking network, and not a coliving booking site.

No single founder holds the keys. Stewards of participating communities steer the shared ground through signed governance proposals. The site itself is open source and every meaningful action is a signed Nostr event you can verify.

Three layers. Hermetic principles (natural law), seven tenets (community practice), and sovereignty commitments (how a person stands). None are rules. All are observable. Start anywhere — each layer points to the next.

Because the existing things optimize for engagement. This one optimizes for people actually meeting each other on actual land and staying long enough for something real to happen.

A living rhythm, a present steward, and honest relationship to the tenets. We are not looking for perfection — we are looking for groups who can name the polarities they hold and the seasons they are in.

The person — or small circle — who carries the rhythm of a place. Stewards are not bosses. They are the ones who answer when someone knocks and who sign the public record on behalf of the community.

Every community page carries a steward verification badge. Verified means the claimed Nostr key has signed a community profile event for this slug. Unverified means the claim is unproven — treat it that way.

Yes. Submit from the Communities page. A founder reviews every submission against the Living Code before it appears. The review is honest, not gatekeeping — if your rhythm is real, you will be on the map.

Take the Living Code ritual. It is twenty minutes, no account required, and no one reads your answers but you. It is how every first step here starts, whether you eventually join a community or not.

Not to read. To post a listing, witness someone, or take the oath — yes. You can bring an existing key via NIP-07 browser extension, use a remote signer via NIP-46 bunker, or generate one locally on first write. Your key is yours; we never hold it.

A public note signed by you saying you saw a specific practice in another member — a tenet in action. It is a gift, not a rating. You cannot witness yourself and you cannot witness anonymously.

A membership practice, not a legal instrument. An aspirant publishes a signed intention. A sponsor countersigns reflection. The act happens in public, on Nostr, because what stays inside a person's head is not yet a commitment.

It is a circulation layer, not a marketplace. People list what they make, grow, build, or teach, and other members reach out directly. There is no platform take, no promoted listings, no ads. If this sounds slower than a marketplace, it is — on purpose.

Off-site, between the two parties. Bitcoin Lightning via Bitcoin Jungle is the preferred rail; other arrangements are fine. We never hold funds and never see invoices.

Each party signs a completion event. When both signatures exist, a badge lands in both public feeds. It is a public receipt by the two people involved — not a rating of either.

Aggregate page views via Plausible, self-hosted, no cookies, no cross-site identifiers. Do-not-track is honored automatically and you can opt out in settings. We do not sell data because we do not collect the kind that is worth selling.

On you. Your Nostr key is stored in your browser, your signer extension, or your remote bunker — never on our servers. If you delete your browser data without exporting, the key is gone.

Stop posting. Nostr events you already published live on relays independent of this site. We can unlist you from our directory, but we cannot unsign events you authored — sovereignty cuts both ways.

Yes. Listing a community, taking the ritual, using the map, posting to the exchange — all free. Communities may charge for stays, events, or work — that is between you and them.

English and Spanish from day one. More as the first cohort brings them. If you want to help translate, there is a Notion board — ask in #ops-room.

Book a founder call from the main menu if you want a conversation. For everything else, a community steward is the right first contact.
