Find your people.
Share your story.
I was nervous about joining my first Space, but within minutes I felt like I was talking to old friends. The Keeper made everyone feel safe to share.
Totem helped me realize I wasn't alone in my struggles. Hearing others share similar experiences was incredibly validating.
It's not therapy, and that's what I needed. Just real people listening and sharing without judgment. I look forward to my Space every week.

How Spaces Work
Spaces are small, guided peer support groups that feel like a digital fireplace.
Here's what makes them special.
Small Groups, Big Connections
Each Space has 3-8 people, creating an intimate environment where everyone has time to share and be heard.
Guided by Trained Keepers
Every Space is facilitated by a trained Keeper who creates a safe, supportive environment for sharing.
Peer Support, Not Therapy
We're not therapists—we're people helping people through storytelling and shared experience.
Safe and Confidential
What's shared in a Space stays in the Space. Your privacy is protected.
Flexible Scheduling
Join Spaces that fit your schedule. New sessions are offered weekly across different topics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Totem and how Spaces work.
Yes! We don't mind if you don't use your real name. You'll need to provide an email for moderation purposes, but other participants won't see your real identity. We do ask that you share authentically during Spaces.
Totem has a zero-tolerance policy against discussing what happens in groups outside the platform—violators face permanent removal. Video call communications are encrypted, so only Space participants can hear your shares.
No, it isn't. While some prefer Totem to traditional therapy, it is not a replacement for traditional one-on-one therapy. However, it can complement existing therapy and deepen your therapeutic work.
Generally no. Keepers facilitate and ensure safety rather than provide professional clinical guidance. They participate as regular members and don't offer therapeutic advice.
Totem is completely free. We're a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to making peer support accessible to everyone.
