Hi, we're Plura

Bloom Community is now Plura

Plurality is a value we see embraced and championed in our communities, organizations, members, and our team. Read FAQ for more info, or open your Plura app and go meet some people.

FAQ

Why did you change the app name?

Over the years, we learned that there are many apps called Bloom and this created confusion for our members. We decided to end that confusion once and for all and step into a new identity as Plura!

What is actually changing?

We've changed the name of our app to Plura. We will change the name of our premium membership soon as well. Other than that, we're using a deeper shade of purple- hope you like it.

Do I need to do anything?

No. The app will automatically update with the new app name. Questions? support@heyplura.com

What will happen to my SuperBloomer membership perks

No impact to your membership. Perks should be available as usual. Email us with any questions: support@heyplura.com

What does Plura mean?

Plurality is a value we see embraced and championed in our communities, organizations, and members. We believe in abundance; that identities are multi-layered, and that there are many ways to find love, security, and fulfillment. We are committed to building a platform for people to find events and communities that make them feel connected, self-expressed, and that they belong.

Find community, friends, and partners

I believe I’ve met all but two partners on Bloom and gained some meaningful friendships in this past year that I’ve been using it. And if not connecting directly via budding, then through an event posted on Bloom.

As an event producer we couldn’t ask for more in a collaboration. It was a win/win/win all around. As a community based in creating connections Bloom was a perfect fit for our participants.

— Misha Bonaventura, Bonobo Network

I met my partner through a match on bloom while I was using it just for events. We were both solo-poly, single parents. Now we are working to blend our families, essentially living together, and have (happily) gone exclusive. I still use Bloom for events.

— Sharon

My partner and I initially connected on Bloom before meeting up in person a few days later at a Halloween party. And tonight, we’re signing the lease for our first house together! I don’t think we would have ever connected if it wasn’t for Bloom, so I’m hugely grateful to the app for this deeply meaningful relationship in my life.

— Sparkle

I'm so glad I found the Bloom app when I did. It was a total game-changer for us. Remarkably, ticket sales literally DOUBLED from our inclusion in their email newsletter. It was so awesome being able to engage with possible attendees, answer any questions, and get folks excited before the event. Thanks, Bloom!

Community values

Consent

At its best, consent is an ongoing collaboration between two or more people in constant verbal, physical, and emotional dialogue about what each other needs to willingly, safely, and pleasurably engage in an interaction with one another.

Accountability

Specifically, Personal Accountability. We are risk aware, and respect our own and others’ boundaries. We take responsibility for our behavior. We seek to apologize well for the harmful consequences of our actions.

Inclusion

We are power informed, and give the stage to marginalized voices. We will not tolerate any sort of sexism, racism, transphobia, fatphobia, or ableism.

FAQ

We welcome everyone 18+ who shares our community values and is looking for connection.

We strive to be inclusive for all sexual and relationship orientations, gender identities, and interests. You are welcome here.

How much does Bloom cost?

Bloom is free to use, both to add events, discover events, and connect with people. We encourage you to consider joining as a SuperBloomer (premium membership) to unlock more advanced dating and events features.

How do I join?

First, download our app from the App Store or Google Play. You can become Buds with people and chat 1:1. You can also join events - with your Buds or solo - and find people who are interested in the same events and experiences as you.

What types of events are there?

We partner with event organizers to bring you a diverse collection of events to choose from - festivals, parties, live music, park hangouts, workshops, and more. Each event has a description that will help you know what to expect. You are also welcome to create your own public or private event pages on our app to share with your friends and community.
