Treat the community the way you treat people you're hosting at yours.
We don't moderate this community. We tend it — and that's everyone's responsibility, not just ours. This page has two parts. The principles we ask every member to embody — what we celebrate, what we value, what we hold each other to. And the violation framework — what happens when those principles are broken, and how we protect the community when they are.
The nine principles describe how we treat each other. This is not a standard to perform, and not a requirement for belonging. It's an invitation.
These are not things to announce about yourself. They tend to show up quietly — in the way you respond when something doesn't go the way you planned, in the way you hold space for someone whose experience is different from yours, in the way you walk back in the door the next time anyway.
You don't have to agree with everyone. But the people who thrive here are the ones who stay genuinely curious — about other ways of living, healing, thinking. The ones who hear something unfamiliar and lean in rather than switch off.
Plans change. People surprise you. The path you expected isn't always the one you walk. Flexibility isn't weakness — it's the ability to keep moving when the ground shifts. We value people who can adapt without losing what matters to them.
Not as a project — as a practice. Noticing what you feel, why you react the way you do, what you need. And then noticing the same in the person next to you. That double awareness — inward and outward at once — is what real connection is made from.
Setbacks are not the opposite of progress. Sometimes they are the progress. We're not looking for people who have everything figured out. We're looking for people who are willing to sit with something hard and come out the other side with more understanding than they walked in with.
These are not rules. They are the posture we ask members to bring. The wellness world has been shaped by people who are constantly performing healing for an audience. Synchronize asks for something different — to actually be here, with each other, as we are.
You commit to not trying to fit in or please others. You want to know yourself better, express your thoughts, creativity, and the fullness of yourself authentically.
You are honest with yourself and others — even when it isn't easy. Your friends value the same. It is one of the things you most love about each other.
You are finding your way, with your own challenges. You are unlearning things you've been taught all your life. Treat yourself with the patience and kindness you give others.
You respect everyone's views and choices, even where they differ from yours. Your default is to listen, understand, and see each difference as a learning opportunity.
You communicate to find solutions that meet the needs of all parties. You seek to understand different perspectives and create space where everyone feels valued and respected.
You feel comfortable expressing your boundaries. This is integral to self-growth. Saying no to others means saying yes to yourself — and we honour that, fully.
Societal norms influence everyone differently. You promote understanding and empathy. You support members facing challenges associated with prevailing norms. Diverse experiences are acknowledged and respected here.
Most platforms hide their enforcement framework. We publish ours — because the credibility of community stewardship depends on the community knowing what we will and won't tolerate, and how we respond when something goes wrong. The framework is graduated. We start with conversation, escalate where needed, and remove only when necessary.
First-time, low-severity, likely unintentional. We open a conversation, not a case file.
Repeat Tier 1, or first-time medium-severity. We pause the profile and review formally.
Severe violation, or pattern. Permanent removal.
The framework is graduated, but the bar is not negotiable. Stewardship is judgement, not algorithm. Each report is reviewed by humans, with context — and with care for everyone involved.
When a member reports a concern, here is the process — published in advance so everyone knows what to expect, both the reporter and the person being reported.
Any member can submit a report through the in-app form, or using our contact form. Anonymous reports accepted; identified reports prioritised.
Stewardship team reviews within 72 hours. Determines tier (1, 2, or 3). Reporter receives acknowledgement and timeline.
Subject of the report is contacted with the specifics, given a chance to respond in writing — typically within 7 days.
For Tier 1 — the founding team decides. For Tier 2 / 3 — the founding team reviews evidence carefully, with input from the community council once it's established. Decision communicated within 14 days of report.
Any decision can be appealed once, within 14 days. Appeal goes to a different council subset. Outcomes are counted in the quarterly transparency report, never named.
In Year 1, all reports are reviewed by the founding team — currently two people, doing this carefully. Decisions are made with context and care, never in haste.
Toward the end of Year 1, as the community grows, we plan to introduce a stewardship council: a small, rotating group of practitioners, explorers, and partners who help review more complex reports. Composition, term length, and the way seats are filled will be shaped with the community as it forms.
This is an evolving framework. We won't pretend to have the final answer on day one. We'll publish what we learn, and adjust as we go.
Every quarter, we publish an aggregate report. Not the names — those stay private. The numbers, the categories, the response times, the patterns. If we can't see it, we can't improve it. And neither can the community.
Below is the structure of what we'll publish — the first report goes live one quarter after launch.
If you've experienced or witnessed a violation, please reach out. Reports can be anonymous. We acknowledge every report within 72 hours. The community is only as safe as its slowest response — we treat this with care.
Submit a reportA code of conduct sets the standard for how we treat each other. These two set the standard for how we treat you. They aren't perks we might revisit — they're the foundation the platform is built on.
We don't track your location. You choose to share where you want to meet, and that share disappears at a fixed time, or 24 hours from posting. Your data is yours to keep — never something we quietly hand on. Your presence is honoured, not harvested. The same goes for your contacts. Your phone turns each number into a scrambled code before anything is sent — the real numbers never leave your device, and neither do names or anything else from your address book. We keep those codes, so that when someone you already know joins later, the connection surfaces without asking you to hand over your contacts again. We connect two people only when they already have each other's number. The codes are never sold or shared, and you can ask us to delete them at any time. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
We don't monetise your attention. No paid placement. No sponsored events slipped into your friends-feed. The platform is funded by small flat fees on bookings and by the venues that list — never by advertisers — so our incentive is to serve you well enough to stay, not to sell you on. We work for you — never for advertisers.
Each one is testable. Each one shapes a real product decision. If something we ship doesn't move us closer to one of these, we don't ship it. Hold us to them.
Treat the community the way you'd treat people you're hosting at yours.Hospitality is the standard — not engagement metrics, not retention curves, not growth-hacking.
Counterbalance the demands of the workday.Get you offline faster. Ease the known health costs of always-on work — the thing many platforms make worse, we exist to undo.
Shift achievement from large goals to small daily wins.Showing up to a class. Meeting a friend. Letting them know you need support. The micro-actions that compound into a life.
Move you from spamming event links to posting once.Trust that the friends nearby will see it and respond if they're interested. The noise reduction is the feature.
Let you bring practitioners you trust into the network.Your people benefit. The wider community benefits. The practitioner gets more bookings. Our first attempt at a circular economy — you become the steward.
Build a living community that adapts to everyone's needs. In time, a panel that helps holistic modalities receive guidance, and ensures practitioners are supported as the field matures.
