For everyone who cares about people meeting each other more often, across borders too: companies and teams, clubs and initiatives, schools and universities, cities and twin-city partnerships, foundations, communities and creators. You bring a topic; we bring the place, the principles and the frame.
A fire or a letter round just for you: in your team across departments, offices and countries, in your club, your class, an exchange or with your twin city. Time for each other, and a chance to meet the people behind the roles.
Invitation by link, only you take part
Your topic and your own cards
At the fire with a firekeeper, voice only; letters without names
In German or English
Open to everyone
Your topic for everyone
You bring a topic to anyone who’d like to join: an evening by the fire that you help open as guests, or a week of letters for which you write the first one. Then people who would otherwise never meet tell their stories and write.
Your mark branded into the wood, or a stamp we design with you
You donate the wood or the stamps: free for everyone
Visible, but quiet, with no advertising

Keeping it free
Sitting by the fire alone and writing for yourself is free, and it should stay that way. Supporting it gives many people a little time for themselves, no topic of your own needed.
For foundations, companies and people who care about this
Named if you like, with no advertising in the rooms
How it works
From the first conversation to the evening.
1
Getting to know each other
We talk about your topic and why it matters to you.
2
Shaping it together
Topic, cards, invitation letter, stamp: we develop it together so it fits you and us.
3
Inviting people
Just for you: you invite by link. Open to everyone: we invite our community and you invite yours, about four weeks ahead.
4
The evening, the week
We hold the space. Afterwards you get a short review, without data on individual people.
What always holds
Even with partners, it stays a place for people.
The same principles
Our principles apply to everyone at the fire and in every letter, including you.
No data for you
You won’t learn who took part. You get numbers, not names.
Nothing is recorded
What is said at the fire stays at the fire. Letters carry no names.
Visible, but quiet
Your name is there, on the wood, the stamp, the mailbox. There is no advertising in the rounds.
What it costs
A flat fee depending on scope, paid by invoice. We’re small and will make you an offer that fits. Foundations and non-profits, please talk to us directly about it.

Tell us what you have in mind.
Rather talk?
Pick a time: 30 minutes with Kevin, no preparation needed. Whatever you’ve already ticked here comes along.
It depends on what we do together: one evening, a week of letters, or a series. We first talk about what you have in mind and then make you an offer. Payment is a flat fee by invoice.
Do we get data on the participants?
No. After the evening or the week you get a short review with numbers, such as how many people took part or how many letters were written. We never pass on names, addresses or content.
Can we speak ourselves?
Yes. At an evening by the fire you’re welcome to open the topic yourselves, together with our firekeeper. With letters, you write the first letter that everyone reads.
How far ahead do we need to plan?
For a round just for you, two or three weeks are usually enough. If it’s open to everyone, we plan about four weeks ahead so enough people can save a seat.
Does this work in English too?
Yes. Evenings and letters are available in German and English.
