Simple rules for low-pressure gatherings

CommonHour keeps scope narrow: adults, public places, small groups, and manual approval.

Public places only

Circles meet in cafes, parks, libraries, and other public areas. Private homes are not allowed.

New hosts are capped at 8 seats so gatherings stay manageable and people can actually talk.

CommonHour is for platonic social circles. Romantic, sexual, and dating events are not allowed.

CommonHour circles are for adults. Minors are not supported.

Hosts and circles are reviewed before they go live. New hosts have low limits while trust is established.

Attendees can reply to their confirmation email to report issues or request help with a refund review.

CommonHour is validating demand before processing payments. Early pilots are paid directly to the host.

Therapy, medical, and mental health support groups are not supported by CommonHour.
