How InRitual works
Creating intentional gatherings should be simple. Here's how to bring your people together with purpose.
Create your gathering.
Choose a name, set a date and time, pick your location, and select a gathering type. Whether it's a music listening night, a book discussion, or a brainstorm — you're set in minutes.
The "Why" behind the "What"
Set your intention.
Define the purpose — give the gathering meaning. Is it a specific album, a heavy topic, or a collection of poems? Clarity of intent creates better gatherings.
- Focus on a shared artifact
- Established communal goal
Invite your people.
Send invites via email, SMS, or shareable links. RSVP tracking and privacy settings built in — you decide who joins and how they participate.
Gathertogether.
Come Together with Intention,
Make it Meaningful
This is the heartbeat of InRitual. Our interface recedes, providing just the right amount of structure to keep the conversation flowing and the presence absolute.
Hub & Library.
Save what matters to the Library. Keep the conversation going in the Hub — before the next gathering, after the last one, or just because.
The Hub
The Library
Do it again.
Keep the momentum. Transition your gathering into a recurring circle or host a new event. Rituals thrive on rhythm and consistency.
Circles vs. Gatherings
Choose the format that fits your needs.
Circles
Recurring groups with consistent members. Build community over time with a shared library and regular schedule.
- Persistent member list
- Shared circle library
- Recurring schedule
- Role assignments
Gatherings
One-off events for special occasions or spontaneous meetups. Standalone, or convert to a Circle when you're ready.
- Standalone event
- Event-specific library
- Flexible scheduling
- Convert to circle later
Gatherings in action
See how different communities use InRitual to create meaningful moments.
A listening circle
Every Thursday, your group gathers to listen to a full album together. No phones, no distractions. Before the session, someone posts the album in the Hub with a few words on why it matters to them. After, save standout tracks and liner notes to the Library. Over time, it becomes a shared music history — every album, every conversation, all in one place.
A rotating supper club
Eight friends take turns hosting. Before each dinner, poll the group on a discussion topic in the Hub — politics, travel, a big life question. Share articles and reading to get everyone thinking. Afterward, save the recipes to the Library. Next month, someone else hosts — the Circle keeps it going, and the Library fills up with a year's worth of meals and conversations.
An intimate poetry circle
A small group meets to read aloud — original work, old classics, new discoveries. Before each gathering, members post what they plan to share in the Hub. After, the poems and reflections go to the Library. Over months, it becomes a living collection of words that moved the room.
A theater's film circles
The Avalon runs a horror Circle, a classics Circle, and a documentary Circle. Sell tickets to each screening. Before the show, hosts share the director's bio, background reading, and related links in the Hub. After, members discuss what they saw, rate the film, and suggest picks for future screenings. Each Circle builds its own audience, its own archive, its own identity.
A conference that doesn't end on Friday
Host the event, then keep speakers and attendees connected through the Hub. Share slides, continue Q&As, surface follow-up conversations that didn't fit into the schedule. When it's time for the next edition, your community is already there — engaged, familiar, and ready to show up again.
A neighborhood book club
A semi-public Circle anyone nearby can join. Post the next pick in the Hub, share reading notes as you go, discuss chapter by chapter. Save highlights and recommendations to the Library so new members can catch up on everything the group has read. The Library becomes the bookshelf. The Hub becomes the living room.
From jam session to park concert
One group of friends, two Circles, one community. The first: four musicians meeting every Sunday to practice — sharing chord charts in the Hub before each session, saving recordings and setlists to the Library after. The second: 100+ friends and fans for an occasional concert in the park. Pay-what-you-want tickets, donations go to local schools. What starts in a garage ends up in the neighborhood.
A weekly meditation circle
A yoga teacher runs a paid weekly Circle for a small group. Before each session, share a guided prompt, a playlist, or a short reading in the Hub. After, members post reflections and save favorite practices to the Library. Over time, the Library becomes a personal wellness archive — breathwork guides, mantras, playlists — built together by the group, session by session.
