FAQ
Straight answers.
Why five members and one host?+
Small enough that no one hides, large enough for real range. Six voices is where a conversation stops being a lecture and starts being a room.
What happens after six weeks?+
You keep going privately with the same group, join a new pod, or step away. The six-week rhythm resets the room and keeps things honest.
How are hosts chosen?+
Hosts are vetted individually and slotted into one of three tiers — Peer, Pro, or Expert. We check track record, temperament, and their willingness to host a small room with care.
What does a seat cost?+
Pod 01 is a £25 one-off pass covering both sessions, paid at checkout. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel. Any future pod is priced on its own page before you commit.
What if the pod doesn't run?+
A pod needs a minimum number of members to go ahead. If it doesn't reach that by the start time, the session doesn't run and you're not out of pocket — we refund the pass or move you to the next cohort, your choice.
