About Us

We have been greeted by fellow floaters with varying reactions, some have embraced us with open arms without questions and others have approached us with a sense of caution, this has prompted us to publicly release our Purpose, Agenda and Rules of the collective.

We are a collective of people from all over the world who float, we have been brought together through the internet to seek out, collate and share information about floating and the related subjects.

The collective was formed by personal invitation from the Original 3, the original 3 each have recently invited 2 more people each to form the Second 6, who each have the ability to invite 1 more person to form the Third 6, to keep the collective to a maximum size of 15 people. Further to the collective we have "The Friends" anyone can become a friend by simply pointing us at any float related content.

 



Purpose

The sole purpose is to globally promote floating.


Aim

The aim is to bring a better paradigm to the world by making floating as accesible to everyone as possible.

 


Agenda 

Our Agenda is to freely collate and publish information about floating, wether it be textual, video, imagery, opinion, experience or thought.
All information is relevant, from the past, present or a predicted future. If its float related we will record it and publicise
 it here in a positive and informative way.

Lability
Each member is equally liable, If we receive any "take down notices" the content must be removed and the take down notice published in the place of where the content was. Every member of the collective will receive copies of all email sent to and from the site. You can see if the email has been responded to, if it has not been responded to please respond.

Resistance
We may from time to time come across a greedy person who does not want to freely share information related to their service or product.
