Floating, but rooted.
A community for the caregivers of their own work.
The freelance internet is loud. Most of us aren't.
- You post less than you produce.
- You use AI without feeling owned by it.
- You've stopped explaining why you're not scaling.
- You want peers — not a coach, not a course.
If that sounds like you, this room was built for you.
Not a course. Not a conference. Not a networking community.
The monthly room
Last Wednesday of every month, starting July 30. 90 minutes online.
One in-person gathering
Brooklyn this year, possibly another city the next.
Long-form letters
Interviews with practitioners we admire, essays on solo work in the AI age.
Members write. Founders curate. The community is the magazine.
The inaugural gathering.
Fifty freelancers. Six hours. One letter.
The monthly online room.
A place to keep your work — and be seen.
The monthly room is 90 minutes. Your practice is the other 29 days.
Tag works-in-progress. Other members react with one line — not critique, witness.
Log the week's actual rhythm.
Continuations of your December letter.
Tagged questions matched to circles, not crowds.
Witness isn't a single afternoon. It's a thread you keep.
The first four voices.
Each chosen for one question they've been quietly answering for years.
Reading her own AI prompts as a self-portrait. Developing a practice for self-awareness through prompt audit.
Formerly at Meta, led AI at Furiosa. Writes on pace, identity, and sustainable career design.
AI as a guest, not an intern. Designing AI + Notion workflows for solo workers.
Seven years building communities for caregivers. Co-founder of Floating Cloister with Mini.
At 5:00 PM on June 25, each attendee writes a letter — to themselves, six months from now. POPOPO holds those letters, sealed, and mails them on December 22.
Six months from now, when you've forgotten what you were thinking on June 25, an envelope will arrive in your handwriting from a version of yourself you may have lost track of. That return is the heart of the gathering.
