Dietary Needs

Vegan Gluten Free

In a digital community, your profile is your introduction. ARA uses your profile data to power features like the Skill Mycelium and event planning.

Dietary Restrictions

When you RSVP to a Gathering (like a potluck), the organizers can see a summary of dietary needs (e.g., "2 Vegans, 1 Gluten Free"). By filling this out in Settings > Profile, you ensure you are fed without having to remind the host every time.

Village Skills

If a neighbor needs a carpenter, they can search the directory. If you haven't listed "Carpentry" as a skill, they won't find you. We encourage listing both professional skills (Accounting, Coding) and practical ones (Chainsaw operation, Fermentation).
