FAQ

Is FOUND a religion?
Yes, legally. Practically, we operate as a values-based community focused on connection, sustainability, and mutual care. There is no deity, no required beliefs, and no spiritual hierarchy.

Is there leadership?
Yes, in the sense that coordination and accountability are necessary for any community to function. Leadership exists to serve the collective, not to hold authority over personal beliefs or life paths.

Is this a cult?
No. There is no charismatic leader, no isolation from loved ones, no pressure to conform, and no surrender of autonomy. Participation is voluntary, transparent, and grounded in real-world values. You can disengage from the community at any time.
