Our Gathering Manifesto

Humanity and Isolation

As human beings, we are bound together by an energy of kinship and generosity. We’ll call this collective energy “humanity.”

The machinations of humanity surround us – tools, buildings, noise, movement, vehicles, statues, artifacts. But something’s missing.

People have receded into corners where phone screens light dim caves of isolation.

Ironically, what’s missing is connection. The laughter, the buzz – the special sparkle when pairs of animated eyes meet in unspoken union.

Gathering as a craft

Gathering is the bedrock of humanity. And despite the innovations of modernity, it’s still difficult to do.

Even in times of scarcity, the resources to thrive are abundant. Coordinated communities empower us to look out for our health, wealth and relationships.

Real community is built through rituals - re-occurring events that connect us more deeply to each other. When people continue showing up, real relationships are built.

Community Builders

Orchestrating gatherings is practiced by people from all walks of life, who play all sorts of roles. They’re executives, builders, parents, leaders, teachers, and friends.

They’re people like you.

If you are committed to helping others’ eyes meet, you are a community builder.

You who are with us believe this to be true:

• Culture is the strongest force in the world.
• Community sustains culture.
• Technology is as wonderful as the people who use it.
• There is something ineffable about a connection with a kindred spirit.

Who we are

We – three brothers of various skills, personalities, and dispositions – have a mission. We wish to aid these builders on their journey of connection.

We chart paths through technological territories and through fields of film.

Perhaps through our efforts, we can make bringing others together easier, more fun, and more vibrant.

We hope you’ll join us.
