Three steps to taking part
Discuss a first step
A coordinator will clarify the details and possible format. A suitable activity or participant may become available later.

Agree on timing, each person’s contribution and boundaries. A profile becomes public only with your permission and after review.
FOR VENUES AND ORGANISERS
Your place can be
part of a shared project.
A hotel, winery, glamping site or retreat centre can become a meeting point. Tell us what you can share and the conditions that matter to you.
Offer your venueOne shared day
A visit, workshop or small gathering. You propose the format and conditions; we discuss who could take part.
Exchange with clear boundaries
Skills, time, goods or space. Agree each side’s contribution beforehand. Exchange is voluntary; receiving help does not require a service in return.

“I’m here for you.”
