No algorithms, no ads — just real events from real people. Discover gatherings near you, show up in person, and build community that actually means something.
We can message anyone in the world in seconds, but we don't know our own neighbors. The people worth gathering with are closer than you think.We built it not as another platform to capture attention, but as a tool to help people find each other in real life, gather with intention, and build communities that mean something.Read the full manifesto →

Free, honestly
Free — and how we keep the lights on
gatherSpirit is free in every regard: no premium tiers, no ads, no subscriptions for platform features. Money only changes hands when you buy a ticket to a real-world event — and even then, almost all of it goes straight to the host. Here is exactly where the rest goes.
Airbnb-by-the-hour for gathering places. Offer a space or rent one, manage who is coming and going, set progressive discounts and different hourly rates for different times of day and days of the week — and, in future, link events directly to spaces so hosting and venue management sit in one place.
Coming soon
Support creators monthly
Beyond single tickets, organisers will be able to offer stamp cards and ongoing memberships — monthly, half-yearly or yearly. Steady support lets the people who hold a community together plan ahead and focus on the work itself: more gatherings, richer spaces, and time spent on the community instead of chasing the next ticket.
Coming soon
Retreats & retreat search
Search and discover multi-day retreats. Already run one? We'd love to collaborate on getting yours in front of more people.

Testimonials
From the people who gather
“The feeds sell you to advertisers and hand you bots for company. Worse still, they engineer the compulsion — training you to reach for your phone on reflex. We built the opposite: no tracking, no manipulation, entirely European — a place that sends you back into your own neighborhood instead of keeping you scrolling. Community doesn't need an algorithm.”
