Name a Circle

call it into being

Every circle starts with one person who knew what they wanted — and was willing to name it out loud and invite others in. This is that moment.

i. You name it. Give your circle a name and a short invitation — who it's for, what it's about, what kind of friendship it tends.
ii. It enters the directory. Your circle appears on alcente.xyz. Others who feel the pull can find it and join.
iii. You coordinate it. How the circle runs is yours to decide — email thread, seasonal call, Signal group, annual gathering. We introduce ourselves and then step back. It's yours.
iv. You join the century. By naming a circle, you also become part of the overarching century of peers — the monthly dispatch, the shared library, the larger web.

Your circle has been named.

We'll review it and be in touch within a few days to welcome you as its coordinator and add it to the directory.

I catch. I pass. I show up. By naming this circle, I join the century of peers and take up the vow of friendship as a spiritual path.
