Not everyone will click and that's totally fine. We bring people together from different backgrounds to create respectful, open-minded conversation. Our members say the best friendships take more than a one-off. It's about showing up to a few experiences and letting real connections develop over time. If you're ever uncomfortable or something feels off, just let our team know. We've got your back.
