Start your two free months.
Meet people, share what you are building and help shape this space. Your free months start when you choose to begin. No card is needed and nothing is charged on its own.
Stay connected · your choice

After your two months, choose monthly support from $5 to $50 CAD. $10 is a suggested place to start. You will only be charged if you actively choose a plan.

Your place here
Keep taking part.
A funded month when money is tight, or a pause when you need one. Nothing is charged here.
What is new.
You're here
A place to begin.
Your profile stays private until you choose to appear. You can change that choice whenever you like.
Activity
Since your last visit.
Replies to you, requests to connect, and news from the people and channels you follow.
This week
Meet someone new.
One introduction every two weeks, one question each week, and the loops we close together. Sunday is quiet.
Your presence
Introduce yourself.
Tell people what you are working on or curious about. A few words are enough.
Your pace
Calm and Away.
Choose when notices reach you. Nothing is lost: notices that wait come back on their own.
People here
Meet the members.
Only people who have chosen to appear are shown here.
No introductions yet. You can be the first to appear.
Notes for each other
Member walls.
Leave a thank-you, a question or a hello on a member’s wall. Only members can read it.
Introductions
Your connections.
Ask to connect through a project you share. When someone accepts, a private conversation opens.
Just between you
Private conversations.
Only the two people in a conversation can read it.
Between gatherings
Start a conversation.
Share one thought, question, or invitation with other members. This space is visible only to members.
All ideas and respectful disagreement are welcome. Staff review reports in this pilot. We are building a policy where a third strike for lesser breaches ends access; confirmed threats, hate or violence can lead to immediate removal after review.
Save your profile and choose to appear before posting an introduction.
No conversations yet. Start with a question.
Channels
Gather around a topic.
A channel holds threads on one topic. Look for one that fits before you start a new one.
Rooms
Find a room.
A room has a purpose, a guide and hosts. Join one to post. After you both take part in a room, you can ask to connect.
Asks and offers
Exchange.
Ask for a hand, offer what you can, lend and give away. When the two of you agree, a private handover chat opens for that one exchange. No money moves through Common Ground.
Member Work and Inspiration
The library.
Share what you make, offer or run. Share a book, film or poem that moved you. Upvote and save what helps you. Only signed-in members see it.
Projects
Build something together.
A project has a page, a team and a place for updates. Offer to help, and an organiser invites you in. Ask every member for a hand when the team needs one.
Opportunities
Gigs, roles and calls.
Members post paid work, open roles, calls for artists and speakers, and ideas to make together. Say you are interested with a short note. Only the person who posted it reads your note.
Recognition
Your paths.
Badges and milestones for what you really do here: help that someone confirms, events, projects and conversations. You cannot claim one. Only you see your progress.
Events
Meet in person or online.
Members host gatherings, workshops and shared meals. Times show in your own time zone.
Community board
Ask, offer, give thanks.
Short notes on what you are doing, what you need and what you can give. Newest first.
After the Summit
Keep the Summit going.
Talk about each session, ask a speaker during Speaker Week, and meet in a small Session Circle.
