Host a group

You run the class. Continued Practice runs the practice partnerships inside it — the pairing, the asking, the introductions — so none of it becomes your second job.

You send one invitation. Everything after that is email — nothing to administer, no dashboard to check, nothing for participants to log into.

We set up each group by hand right now, so this starts with a conversation — not a checkout.

Three steps to start

  1. 1

    Invite your group

    You get a link that's yours. Send it however you already reach your participants — an email, a post, a note at the end of class. They fill out one short form, once.

  2. 2

    Get critical mass

    Around eight participants in similar time zones is enough. We'll tell you when you're there. People trickling in one at a time doesn't work — the first person to join needs someone to be matched with.

  3. 3

    Start matching

    Everyone begins in the same round. From then on it runs itself, and we'll let you know how the group is doing.

The link you’d share

Once your group is set up, you get a link that’s yours. You send it however you already reach your people; they click it and fill out one short form. That’s the whole ask on their end — no app, no account.

And this is exactly what they fill out:

What you see

Enough to see the practice is alive and to nudge the people who haven’t joined yet. Deliberately not more than that.

2 people haven’t signed up yet — a nudge from you usually does it.

This group is made up — a sample of what your own would look like. Nobody here is real.

What you don’t see

Who was matched with whom, and whether any particular session happened. That stays between the two people. Participants are told this at sign-up, and it is most of why they’re willing to be honest about their availability and what they want.

If your group needs completed-practice records for a certification, we can do that — and everyone is told plainly, before they join, exactly what their teacher will see.

What participants get

Each person is asked privately first, and only if both say yes does this arrive.

To: Margaret, Peter·Subject: You both said yes: Margaret and Peter

Good news — you each said yes to the other, so here you both are.

Margaret is in Boston and focuses in English.
Peter is in Berlin and focuses in English and German.

Times that work for both of you this week:
Tuesday 6:00 pm Berlin / 12:00 pm Boston
Thursday 7:00 pm Berlin / 1:00 pm Boston

Just reply to this email to sort out the details between you.

Margaret and Peter are made up. The email is real — including the times, worked out across both time zones.

What happens when your class ends

This is the part we care about most. A class ending is usually where the practice quietly stops — everyone means to keep going, and then life takes over.

When your group wraps up, each person can choose to keep practicing with the wider community of focusers, so the connections don’t disappear with the container. Nobody is moved automatically; it’s theirs to opt into.

A few questions we get

Do my people need an app or an account?

No. They fill out one short form, and everything after that is a normal email they reply to. Nothing to download, no password, no login.

What if someone wants to pause or leave?

They reply “skip” to any email to take a break, or “delete me” to leave entirely. You never have to manage it, and it never runs through you.

More questions — yours or your participants’ — are answered on the Help page.
