invitation
who belongs here.
we look for the people who have been told no a hundred times and still care about the place.
they are usually not the loudest person in the room. they are the one who knows why the script has that one weird line in it, and has stopped being asked.
the floor has no head
our outcomes and integrations are rhizomatic.
rhizomatic: any node to any node. the edge is the top.
nodes, not rungs. each performs its role without asking permission. respect is basic — it is the floor, not the reward.
how we talk
non‑violent communication. abundance over scarcity, solidarity over hierarchy, harm reduction over competition.
we spell out the acronym the first time. well defined terms reduce ambiguity, and ambiguity is where the hours go.
the sustainability clause
a thin margin of growth, held to pay the people doing the work better than convention does.
we are testing it in the open.
the door
office hours are on the house's contact page. no agenda, no qualification.
