United States · adult friendship · 18+

Make friends across the United States without waiting for the perfect local group.

Lifted Spirits is a worldwide 18+ friendship community founded in the UK and already used by adults in the United States. Start online through shared interests, experiences, gaming and everyday conversation, then keep things online or build local connections where genuine community grows.

01

You do not need to live near an existing Lifted Spirits meet-up to join from the US.

The online Lifted Spirits community is available across the United States. You can build a profile, discover members, join conversations, use Reflections and take part in Gaming whether or not there is currently a real-life plan near you.

That matters in a country where distance can make local-only friendship apps feel limiting. You can start with people who genuinely relate to you and narrow by location when local friendship is the priority.

02

Lifted Spirits already has a real US footprint.

Adults in the United States are already part of Lifted Spirits, and the community has previously held real-life meet-ups in the US as well as its larger UK meet-up programme.

We do not pretend that means there is a current event in every state. International real-life activity should grow around actual members, organisers and plans rather than empty location pages.

03

Find people through relatability first, then decide how much geography matters.

Shared experiences, interests, goals and activity can matter more than a postcode when you are trying to find somebody you genuinely click with. Lifted Spirits discovery is designed to surface those signals instead of restricting every suggestion to the closest radius.

If you want local people, broad city, state and country information can still help narrow discovery. If you are open to online friendship, the wider worldwide community stays available too.

04

Gaming can make long-distance friendship feel much less distant.

Shared games give people something to do together without needing a perfect conversation every time. Lifted Spirits Gaming adds gaming profiles, organised sessions and community servers that can connect adults across different states and countries.

For US members, that creates a practical way to build familiarity before worrying about whether somebody lives nearby.

05

Online friendship can stay online — or become local later.

There is no pressure to meet anybody in person. Some friendships work because people talk, game and keep showing up for each other online.

Where enough members live near one another and genuine local momentum exists, real-world plans can grow naturally. Lifted Spirits has already shown that international meet-ups are possible, but current events should always be checked through current official community channels rather than assumed from a past meet-up.

06

Lifted Spirits is its own platform, not a Discord directory listing.

The wider Lifted Spirits community has its own member platform with profiles, discovery, Reflections, chats, private journalling, Gaming and community tools. Connected spaces can complement that experience, but they are not the whole product.

Important distinction

Friendship and peer support are not professional healthcare.

Lifted Spirits is a community for connection and shared experience. It does not provide diagnosis, therapy, medical treatment or emergency intervention.
