Sarah· this morning
This week we stay with the first form. Let it be boring. That's where it starts to open.
Autumn retreat, streamed from ViennaOpens Wednesday 14 OctoberJoin online →
Common Ground MVP1
Two houses, one ground
Each house keeps its own name, look and membership. The Chapel, the calendar and this ground are shared. Wherever you are on the site, the sphere brings you back to the center.

Who sees what MVP1
- Inside a house
- Only that house's members: its circle, deeper recordings, member gatherings.
- Across Interbeing
- Anyone with an account, in any house: the Chapel, shared practices, the calendar.
- Public
- Anyone on the website, no account: open streams, event pages, the invitation.
Practicing together MVP2
Connected through the ground
Members appear where they practice from, joined by mycelium that grows from the sphere at the center of the Earth. Some people appear as their place in nature rather than their face.
Adapted from the Holos member globe. Locations are rounded to the city.
This week's question MVP2
What returns you to presence?
breaththe riverteamy childrenwalkingsilencethe bellbare feet
Back to the body
Less to consume. More to practice.
Everything on Interbeing should bring people back to the body and to presence. Sessions, the Chapel and the calendar come first. Content is there to support practice, not to keep anyone scrolling.
Common Ground · the same room from every house MVP1
The Chapel
3 people are sitting in silence right now. Cameras are optional.
You
One silent room shared by every house, built on the Interbeing chapel video the Monastery already uses. Others appear as their place in nature. While anyone is sitting here, the sphere on every page warms in color, so you know you could join them.
Calendar MVP1
Practice together
See only your house, your house plus everything open to you, or every house in the ecosystem. Times show in your own time zone, and anything can go straight into your calendar.

Rhythm in time MVP2
The year as a circle
Instead of a grid of weeks, the year turns: solstices and equinoxes on the ring, full moons around it, the part of the year already lived in a quieter tone, and what's yet to come ahead of you.
Today
Autumn retreat
Full moon
Solstice or equinox
Builds on the Holos year view. Each house can add its own rhythm (moon sittings, seasonal days) as layers on the ring.

Recordings land in This week's videos on their own, and everyone who joined gets a thank-you email with the link. If you miss a morning, you can still practice it.
A space of becoming
When the retreat ends, your account stays. Keep practicing with the Practice House each morning, sit in the Chapel, and see what both houses offer.
Houses MVP1
Each house its own. The center shared.
Every house sets its own membership, look and rhythm. Moving between them feels familiar, because they share the same structure and the same ground.
Open to everyone with an account: the Chapel, the calendar, shared practices and Common Ground. Some practice is public, with no account needed.
Practice House
Daoist Arts in Vienna. Free morning practice; a house membership for intensives, the six-month arc and the circle.
VisitInterbeing Monastery
From evolve. Free community membership for the Core Practices, with donations welcome.
VisitA future house
New communities might first meet the founding houses on retreat. When they join, they contribute to the shared ground the way the founding houses did, held together under a shared charter.
Join Interbeing MVP1
Come as you are
Three small things are enough to join a session or the retreat. You can add more to your profile later, if and when you want.

The circle MVP2
Those we practice with
What's alive in practice, questions for the teachers, and each other. Not a feed and not a friends list: conversations sit in small circles that connect to each other.

Where the sacred opens between us
I · The invitation
Join the temple of emergence
We're inviting people from across our beautiful Earth to gather and form a network of practitioners who want to bring the sacred alive together as a response to the turmoil of our time.
If you want to co-create community that is in touch with the sacredness of Life, then you are warmly invited to join in this adventure.
Three rooms. A slower rhythm.
I
The Reflecting Pool
Arrive. Settle. Read the week's intention and the agreements we hold.
II
The Chapel
Weekday sitting in the circle members already know, now shared with every house.
III
The Practice Sanctuary
Dialogue, tea and days of practice, where we discover what opens between us.
For the retreat (MVP1), the Monastery appears here with its schedule and the shared Chapel. The full relaunch and the move from Circle follow in MVP2.
I · The Reflecting Pool
This week's intention
To let the field between us do some of the work.
Held by Elizabeth for the week of 12 October
- We arrive a few minutes early, and arrive inwardly too.
- We speak from what is alive, not from what we already know.
- We hold what is shared here in confidence.
- Silence is also a contribution.
III · The Practice Sanctuary
An ecology of practices
In John Vervaeke's words. Choose the practices that support you; free community membership opens all of them.
