Any Pledge signer can host a Circle. The first Topic Circle Guide will be released in October 2026, as part of our official Human Flourishing Launch event, and will be available for free. Subsequent Topic Circle Guides will be released on a regular basis, and will be available to members only. A Host-Your-Own design template for hosting Circles on questions specific to their community will also be available to members, as well as access to a host community, and quarterly host calls.

Q: How can I help spread Human Flourishing?

The most useful thing you can do is invite people you respect to read the Pledge and consider signing. We grow through trusted invitation.

Q: How does Human Flourishing handle sources and citations?

We take this seriously. Our essays draw from a range of academic, philosophical, and lived sources, and we publish reference lists at the end of each major piece rather than crowding the text with in-text citations. Our editorial standard is to attribute ideas honestly, distinguish our own claims from those of the writers we draw on, and avoid quoting selectively to make a source appear to support something it does not.

Q: What types of gatherings do you hold?

The Circle — a small group meeting for an honest conversation on a single question, using a Topic Circle Guide we provide. Any signer can host one. The first Circle Guide will be available for free to any signer. Additional Topic Circle Guides are available to members as they are released. The Salon — an intimate, invitation-only conversation on a single question that matters, curated for depth across genuinely different perspectives. These gatherings will produce non-attributed content that will be shared with the greater community. The Forum — a larger public gathering, moderated, designed to model civil disagreement at scale. Recorded for publication. The Convening — our annual flagship event, beginning in 2027. Cross-sector and cross-ideological, part intellectual summit and part community celebration.
