The meetups
Once a month, members meet online for about an hour: a relaxed video call to share stories, talk about new research and ask each other questions.
Newcomers are welcome, and so are people who have known about their aphantasia for years.
Between meetups
The members’ Discord is organized by topic: research, daily life, creative minds, meetups and the course. Read along or join in, as you like.
You don’t need Discord for anything else. The meetups, the talks and the recordings all work without it.
The researchers studying aphantasia take your questions
A researcher presents new work to members, then takes their questions. Members keep the full recording of every talk, with the questions, and a shorter cut of each goes on YouTube for everyone.

In their own words
From messages people have sent us.
“Dr Silvanto’s YouTube presentation has radically changed my thinking and understanding of why I experience life the way I do. That is a priceless gift.”
Anne L., Community member
“I’m so grateful to know that something I always perceived as a flaw, or abnormality in myself, isn’t just me.”
Kevin K., Community member
“I really do feel like I finally found my people. Arriving at aphantasia didn’t change the work so much as finally explain it.”
Don, Cognitive performance researcher, 4 decades

If you’re a clinician or a teacher, our professional courses are a better fit.
