Phased approach to resolve persistent video conferencing issues in Circle platform while building toward custom solution. Phase 1: Sarah and Manon assess Circle's back-end video capabilities and explore embedding Daily.co Meditation Chapel into Circle for better stability. Phase 2: Embed Circle into monastery site so monastery remains primary entry point. Phase 3: Full migration to custom platform when replication becomes more streamlined. The Meditation Chapel (built on Daily.co) is working well with 60+ regulars and generating real inspiration, but Circle's video has sound issues, unclear permissions, and confusing interface that diminishes member engagement.

Building a second-tier membership platform for Interbeing Monastery focused on deepening community connection and enabling self-generated engagement circles. Based on member surveys showing appetite for spontaneous practice sessions, informal connection spaces, and member-led study groups. Platform will enable members to create their own Holons (circles), host discussions, run short courses, and connect through intelligent matching. Will eventually absorb and replace Communiverse, integrating directly into the monastery page. Uses Webflow front-end with Supabase backend, Stripe/PayPal for payments, includes profile creation with AI-generated content, 9-domain assessment system, and cross-platform synchronization capabilities.

Designing the experiential architecture of the virtual monastery spaces - envisioned as walking down a hallway and entering different rooms. Initial scope includes one bookable room for scheduled groups (poetry circle, science discussions), one or two open rooms (lounge, wine bar concept), and members-only spaces like a private chapel. Updating James's existing architectural-style monastery map graphic to reflect the actual envisaged rooms, including spaces marked 'under construction' with donation prompts. The map has already resonated strongly with members and will serve as the navigation interface.

Creating a clickable calendar on the Interbeing Monastery homepage to solve event discoverability - members currently struggle to find courses and events. Will evolve the existing calendar CMS already built into the monastery system with Airtable integration so updates sync automatically across platforms. Calendar will surface all upcoming events, courses, and monastery activities in an accessible interface.

Reworking evolve World website with intelligent multilingual strategy. Using custom geolocation script to auto-redirect users in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg to German versions while showing English elsewhere by default. Pages existing in only one language (e.g., evolve Magazin) will auto-redirect with friendly pop-ups explaining language and pointing to translated content where available. Some pages like homepage will feature parallel bilingual content. English remains structural primary language while honoring German-first content creation. Includes calendar CMS evolution for clickable homepage calendar with Airtable sync to solve event discoverability issues.
