Small by design.
Most gatherings are intended for roughly eight participants. If interest is high, the same event may be offered more than once so that the atmosphere remains personal and safe.
Members may suggest ideas or help present an activity, while Counterpart remains the principal organizer.
A gathering is not a speed date.
There is no forced pairing, public ranking, or expectation that every event will produce a match. The point is to create environments where thoughtful people can become visible to one another.
