Eight people. One city. Every month.
A Sensing Circle is eight people from different worlds who meet in person, monthly, to notice what is changing before it has a name. No agenda, no presentations, no networking: a business leader, a scientist, an artist, a policymaker and others, around one table, under the Chatham House Rule.
The first Circles are founded at Forum I and meet from November 2027. They are composed, not joined: nobody applies for a seat. But you can tell us where the next Circles should be, and who should sit around the table.

Founding Circles open at Forum I. New cities are added as Circles can be composed well.
Small, regular, in person.
Composed, not joined
Each Circle is composed by the Forum: eight people whose combination creates real insight. A business leader, a scientist, an artist, a policymaker and others. Nobody applies for a seat.
Every month, in person
Circles meet in their city, in a private space, monthly. No agenda, no presentations, no remote attendance. Chatham House Rule.
One question
Each meeting starts the same way: what have you noticed this month that does not fit? The Circle senses together before it discusses.
A network
Circles in different cities meet once a year and at every Forum, so what one city notices reaches the others. Membership renews every two years.
Bring a Circle to your city
Tell us where the next Sensing Circles should meet. We open a new city when we can compose a Circle there well: eight people whose combination creates real insight, not a peer group.
Propose your city, and the people you would want around the table, including yourself. Circles are composed by the Forum; membership is by invitation and carries an annual contribution, waived for up to a third of every Circle.
