The Social Health & Well-Being Forum

About this Event

On April 6-8th at the beautiful Sonoma Lodge in Wine Country Sonoma CA, we are gathering leading researchers, authors, relationship thought leaders, entrepreneurs, community organizers, and transformational organizations to co-create solutions to the societal disorder of disconnection and loneliness.

Over the past year, we’ve seen a massive increase in media coverage and public conversation about loneliness and disconnection and the detrimental impact these diseases have had on individuals and society. As we all know, it’s going to take much more than rising awareness to combat this epidemic. The time is now to catalyze the movement and gather as and industry.

Each of us are doing our part to shift the tides on these issues. However, ironically, we continue to hear that practitioners, community builders, and researchers in this space often feel alone in our pursuits. So, we will meet to connect and deepen our relationships. And it does not stop there., We will on-going facilitate support and action councils as a founding group long after the event. A society of sorts.

By bringing together leaders across multiple sectors — tech, academia, media, non-profits, events, etc. — we envision the start and acceleration of this emerging movement taking leaps and bounds forward. And if not together, as Social Wellness and connection advocates, and not now, then who, and when? It is us, and it is now. Join us for this incredible gathering of thought leaders and organizers as we delve into solving for loneliness and disconnection for the world. We can’t wait to meet you.

From this gathering we expect life-long friendships, business partnerships and the emergence of a new industry dedicated to solving disconnection. Expected outcomes include:

Experience-sharing across disciplines

Casual & facilitated meet-and-greets for business partnerships

Research-based ideas and inspiration for facilitating connection

Definitions and best practices (including shared metrics and data tracking)

Pilot program for ongoing groups designed to support one another’s work and the growth of this emerging industry
