WELCOME TO
THE PLATFORM'S EDGE
A living project exploring belonging, shared experience, and a more intentional way of being.
People find their way to Platform 13 in different ways — sometimes by chance, sometimes by intention, often simply through curiosity about what might come next..
Platform 13
A reflective journal and gathering place, a community. All taking shape in the French Countryside.
Through story, shared experience, and the quieter rhythms often lost in modern life, Platform 13 explores how we live, reflect, reconnect with ourselves and form bonds with others.
Life on P13 moves between muddy boots and flagstone floors, from spade to spoon. Grounded and imperfect, it follows season and rhythm, shaped by place and the simple practice of paying attention.
Two expressions sit at its heart.
The Brave Seeds Journal gives Platform 13 its voice — reflective, curious, and honest.
Soulstice Immersions bring the work into lived experience, creating spaces where time, place, and human connection meet.
Together they form a shared ecosystem — thought and experience, reflection and participation.
Always evolving..
Platform 13 is not a destination, but a place along the way.
You are welcome to walk with us as the journey gently unfolds.
Brave Seeds - The Journal and Voice of Platform 13
Stories, reflections, and field notes gathered from a life lived attentively.
Twice each month, Brave Seeds shares observations shaped by daily life in France — where small moments invite larger questions, and the ordinary reveals unexpected meaning.
Here, humour meets honesty. The everyday becomes reflection. From the passage of time to the ways we show up for ourselves and one another, these writings explore the quiet patterns that shape how we live.
Brave Seeds is a place to pause, to linger, and to notice more closely — leaving you a little more connected to yourself, and to the richer textures of being alive.
Soulstice Immersions
The Work of Platform 13
Soulstice Immersions are gatherings created to step out of the noise of everyday life and into a different rhythm — one shaped by time, place, and shared human experience.
Held at meaningful moments throughout the year, each immersion offers space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what feels true beneath the momentum of modern living.
Rather than instruction or performance, Soulstice invites presence. Conversations unfold slowly. Insight emerges naturally. Through thoughtful dialogue, quiet practices, and shared experience, participants explore the patterns, questions, and possibilities shaping the next chapter of their lives.
These gatherings are especially resonant for those standing at a threshold — navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply sensing that something new is asking to be lived.
What often remains afterward is not a single answer, but a quieter certainty — a renewed trust in oneself, a deeper sense of belonging, and the courage to move forward with greater awareness.
Soulstice is not about fixing or striving, but about remembering. About integration. About returning to daily life carrying something subtle yet lasting: a clearer relationship with oneself, and a gentler way of moving through the world.
From the Journal
Platform 13 grows through those who choose to be a part of it - readers, members, collaborators and investors alike.
Whether through words, ideas or contribution, your support helps us build something lasting.
Where can we begin?
People arrive at Platform 13 for different reasons.
Sometimes with clarity, sometimes with only the sense that something is shifting.
If you find yourself in the in-between moment of curiosity, reflective awareness, or searching for stories that make sense of change, Brave Seeds may be a place to begin. A quiet space for ideas, inspiration, and shared observation.
If you feel drawn toward deeper connection and lived experiences, Soulstice Immersions offer time and space to step more fully into the inner exploration of self, courage and enoughness with others who are asking similar questions
If you are simply watching from the Platform's edge for now, you are welcome here too. Many choose to stay connected through the Brave Seeds Journal and our bi-monthly Newsletter until the moment feels right to step further in.
Contribution comes in many forms. Some arrive to share stories, others to listen, to build, or to help carry the vision forward. Each contribution matters, and together they help form something larger than any one voice alone.
As a living project, we are continually shaped by the people who find themselves here. Writers, guests, collaborators, members, and supporters each take their place at the table, contributing ideas, presence, and belief as we work toward creating a permanent home for P/13 and a legacy for future generations.
There is no single way to arrive, and no required pace.
Only an open invitation to begin wherever you are.
