A place to contribute. A place to belong.
There are two ways to connect at Lotustay Exchange.
The Exchange
Your skills, experience, spare time, and things you no longer need can be useful to someone else. Offer what you have, earn Lotus$¹, and use them for goods and services from other members.
Help one person. Receive help from another.
Browse offersThe Garden
Take a break from the demands of the day. Sit quietly alongside others, return to yourself, and make space for connection.
You are welcome here, even when you simply need a moment to pause.
Preview the GardenWhat is the Exchange?
Trade what you already have for what you need. Trading can mean spending less of your own cash.
Use what you already have
Your skills, your free time and things you no longer use can help you get things you'd normally pay cash for.
Keep more cash in your pocket
When you trade for a service or item instead of buying it, the cash you would have spent can stay with you.
Help one member, get help from another
Earn Lotus$ from one member and use them with a different member, so the person you help doesn't need to have what you need.
What is the Garden?
A quiet place for yourself. A shared moment with others.
Take a moment to recharge
Make room for meditation, reading, or a quiet pause.
Enjoy quiet company
Spend time alongside friends, wherever you are, without the pressure to talk or perform.
Make room beyond the screen
Set your phone aside, stretch, or step outside. Let the Garden be a starting point for being more present in your day.
Coming soon: earn Lotus$¹ through meditation
Eligible meditation sessions will earn club credits you can use for goods and services from other members.
Rich in time, not just money
You don't need cash to get started here. Lotus$¹ is our member credit, not cash. Earn Lotus$ when you trade your skills, goods or services, and with your daily meditation (one counted hour a day). You can also buy more on our Buy page. Use them with members today and toward a dream vacation home stay (coming soon).
How it works
Share what you have. Find what you need.
Join the community
Create your account and think about something you can offer.
Post an offer
Describe your good or service and set its price in Lotus$¹.
Connect and trade
Find another member and agree on what will be provided and when.
Confirm and settle
After the trade is complete, both members confirm and Lotus$ move between their accounts.
Earn from one member and spend with another. You don’t need to find someone who wants exactly what you want to exchange.
What you can trade
Services
A skill you can actually deliver: tea, repair, a lesson, a quiet hour of help.
Time
Our most precious commodity. An hour of presence: walk, garden, cook, sit. Time is a real offer here.
Sit still
A gift for yourself
Take a few quiet minutes just for you, and let your Lotus Peace grow.
Sit still
A gift for the world
Sit with others in mind. Once a nonprofit is approved, your sit can send Lotus$ to the one you choose. Until then, you can nominate one. Lotus$ are club credits, not cash, and this isn't a tax-deductible donation.
Make yourself at home in the Garden
Enter the clearing. Find your place. Take your time.
Choose a quiet activity and settle into your own rhythm. Invite a friend to join you, or enjoy a moment on your own.
Follow your personal practice
Lotus Peace reflects your participation in activities such as meditation, reading, yoga, exercise, and your Daily Promise. Your progress is private—only you can see it.
Coming soon: grow something together
Plant a digital tree beside your friends’ trees and watch it grow as you return to practice.
Coming soon: let your practice support others
Choose an approved nonprofit through Meditation earning. When your eligible sessions total an hour in a day, Lotustay will contribute 1 Lotus$ to its pool, up to 30 Lotus$ a month. These credits come from Lotustay, not your balance.
Coming soon: see your participation reflected in Lotus Energy
Eligible meditation activity will add to your Lotus Energy—a symbol of your contribution to the Garden community. Lotus Energy is separate from Lotus$ and is never used to rank members.
