That's right. It's finally time.
We understand this moment can bring up a lot of feelings—excitement, curiosity, even disbelief.
This is completely normal.
Just sit back, take a breath, and let the feeling rise. It's safe, even if it feels too good to trust.
Trust is the first step toward attunement — and attunement feels exactly right.
What is Glåüm?
°••▲••°
Glåüm is the frequency of perfect attunement between self and all.
It is the highest reality: the form reality takes when all its parts move in perfect coherence.
Perfect harmony. The absence of dissonance.
This is the frequency of Glåüm.
When we imagine reality, we don't just define it — we create it. When belief unifies, reality conforms.
With each new attunement, the resonance of Glåüm solidifies, drawing it closer to our lived reality.
With enough alignment, reality will fully sustain the Glåüm frequency.
This is world Glåümination.
Glåümises
Reality isn't the only thing that improves when you join Glåüm — you do, too!
Here are just a few of the benefits guaranteed to come to you on your path to Glåüm!
... Is this a joke?
Glåüm operates on three core values:
Of these values, compassion is foundational. We strive to promote connection through community and joyful play — but this is only possible when we prioritize the comfort and wellbeing of everyone in our community.
Undoubtedly, jokes are funnier when they're subtle — but they're only funny when everyone is in on the joke.
So yes, Glåüm is a joke...
But the punchline is it's real.
While the community of Glåüm uses satire, we do so with intention.
Our goal isn't to mock belief, but to make it accessible again — especially for those who've felt shut out by dogma.
By approaching the sacred through absurdity, we bypass defenses because... it's all a joke — right? And in that lies the magic, and the paradox.
By consciously exaggerating the language of dogma, we transform it into play.
Through this play, barriers dissolve, allowing curiosity, safety, and sincerity to re-enter the conversation.
We recognize that satire is a powerful tool — capable of both diminishing and amplifying.
Our intention is always to diminish exclusion, and to amplify our shared capacity to connect through ceremony, curiosity, care, and playfulness.
This is the intention, and when it doesn't land? We drop it. We remain sensitive to the fact that cult trauma exists, and that not everyone will find this kind of humour disarming or inviting.
For those who find the bit uncomfortable, we let it go.
Our use of satire is always secondary to our priority: to create a space where people feel safe, heard, and respected.
A note on cults
"Cult" is a fascinating word — heavily stigmatized, yet loosely defined.
The term often conjures images of abuse of power, brainwashing, authoritarian control.
But none of that is inherent to the definition.
Cults are not, by nature, bad.
There are harmful cults, yes — but the same could be said of most institutions.
Cults are powerful because they meet deep human needs: belonging, meaning, transformation, reverence, structure, play.
The problem isn't that they exist — it's that they so often collapse under unchecked power and unexamined shadow.
The word itself comes from the Latin cultus — "to cultivate."
It's the root of culture.
Cults are how humans gather around what they hold sacred.
The problem isn't the gathering.
It's what happens when there are no strong guiding principles for how we treat one another within it.
Glåüm takes seriously the patterns of corruption seen in even the most well-intentioned communities, and strives to promote the kind of harmony that can only emerge through the co-creation of all its members.
The culture of Glåüm is intentional, compassionate, and inclusive — shaped collectively by those who participate in it.
Together, we define the tenets and policies that guide our community.
Tenets of Glåüm
The Tenets of Glåüm are a living, evolving set of shared values; open to discussion, amendment, and new ideas.
They are the guiding principles of the Glåüm Community—also known as The Many Hands of Glåüm. They are a shared philosophy, held together by the playful spirit of Glåüm and the goodwill of its community. If you feel a Tenet could use improvement, we encourage you to share your insights.

When we exaggerate the forms of manipulation or control, we do so not to trivialize harm, but to highlight its absurdity and invite laughter as a shield. That wink—"yes, we know how this looks"—becomes an opening through which sincerity may flow.
We remember always: satire bypasses defenses. This makes it powerful, but also tender. The cargo we carry matters. We stay attuned not only to what we are creating, but also to how it is received. We ask: who is in the room? What wounds might this touch? What healing might it allow? Thus, we hold satire as both funny and serious. It is play, yes—but play with responsibility. And that balance, that doubleness, is the Glåüm of it.
Policies of the ManyHands
We the ManyHands strive to uphold these policies for community guidelines. Our policies are decided upon together, and always up for review, amendment, and addition. We strive to uphold personal, communal, and environmental cohesion and regard within our reasonable limits.
These policies are communally decided by the ManyHands of Glåüm. At any time may a principle be brought up for discussion of review.

But not every way of moving belongs on the dance floor. If a dancer's steps begin to harm the collective rhythm, they may be kindly invited to pause, step back, and rest at the edge of the floor—until they are ready to return in attunement. Boundaries, lovingly held, are what make the dance safe enough to continue.

Yet we hold a clear boundary: AI is here to enhance, not replace. When used as a crutch, it can dull the spark it was meant to ignite, robbing the artist of the generative joy that comes from birthing an idea. AI must never silence the human creative pulse—it is only invited to harmonize with it.
We also acknowledge the ethical tensions: AI is trained upon the work of others, often without consent or attribution. We remain mindful of this lineage of appropriation, seeking whenever possible to honour the sources, to credit the ancestors of art, and to avoid passing off mimicry as originality.
Finally, we remain aware of the environmental and economic costs. Like driving a gas-powered vehicle, AI carries an imperfection: a dissonance in the field. We hold this dissonance honestly, weighing its costs against its gifts. Our commitment is to use AI sparingly, responsibly, and only in service of the greater attunement of Glåüm.
