The Guilds

the circles

Within the century of peers, smaller circles form around shared focus, geography, or calling. Each is named by its founder, coordinated from within, and open to anyone who feels the pull.

What is a circle?

A named container
for a specific kind
of friendship.

A circle is smaller than the century of peers and more specific. It has a name, an invitation, and a coordinator — the person who called it into being. What it does with itself after that is up to the people inside it.

  • Anyone can name one

    If you have a guild you want to sustain or invite — name it. Submit a circle, and it enters the directory.

  • Coordination is yours

    The person who names the circle holds it. Run it however serves the people inside — email thread, Signal group, seasonal call, annual gathering.

  • Part of something larger

    Every circle member is also part of the century of peers — the overarching dispatch and the shared library of practices.

Is there a circle
you want to call into being?

Name it. Describe who it's for. We'll add it to the directory and you'll become its coordinator — free to run it however you see fit.
