The Belonging Triangle · A free assessment

Design a gathering people belong to.

A short self-assessment for hosts, organizers, and community builders. Thirty yes/no questions. Your gathering scored across three sides, and a picture of where belonging is strongest.

Takes about 5 minutes · 30 questions · three sections

How it works

Three sides. Ten questions each. One picture of your gathering.

Each section looks at a different side of how belonging actually gets built, and where it tends to break.

Orientation

Do people know how to be here?

Making the invisible visible: the norms, the rules, the 'how we do things here,' made explicit.

Participation

Do people know how to contribute?

Pathways, not pressure. Showing what good participation looks like: multiple entry points, not a single door.

Return

Why would people come back?

The space between gatherings: connective tissue, recognizing contribution, and the path from new to regular to core.

A note: this framework assumes a foundation of safety. Without it, none of the three sides can hold.
