How it works

  1. 01IntakeFour minutes. When you are free, where you are, what you would turn up to. No personality test.
  2. 02SeatingSix people whose availability, area and chosen activity overlap.
  3. 03Three meetingsThe same six, three sessions across roughly six weeks, around the activity you chose.
  4. 04The voteEach member privately says whether the Circle should continue. Four yes votes and it does.
  5. 05ReseatingIf a Circle dissolves, a new one is offered inside fourteen days.

Activities

Thirteen activities, chosen so a session is worth attending on its own terms — walking, cooking, climbing, volunteering and nine others. Alcohol may be present at one; it is never the reason for one.

Standing Circles

A Circle that passes the vote and crosses fifty total hours becomes a Standing Circle. It is earned by attendance and cannot be bought.

  • It can name itself.
  • It schedules its own sessions, without Loric selecting the venue.
  • It can admit a seventh member by unanimous agreement.

Loric is not treatment, not therapy and not a crisis service. If you need support now, contact your GP, NHS 111, or the Samaritans on 116 123, free, at any hour.
