You can find and/or create circles based on location (for ex: “Local Napa Neighborhood,”) interest/passion (like “Yoga’ community”), social groups (we love “New Dads Needing a Beer"!) or even career ( for ex: “Co-Working with Entrepreneurs” for people who want to work together at co-working spaces.)

• Authentic Community:  A path to being with thousands, creating more community, locally and globally. 

 See What Awaits You

 One of the most crucial aspects of the Meaningful Connection Project is to have the support system for us during our times of more acute need and life transition.  Many circles form and programs are offered to address these needs. So many times in modern-day life we feel overwhelmed or wholly dis-connected from our most natural state of joy, ease, and belonging. Examples include:

• Dull ache of Disillusionment... zest for life has dwindled
• Anxiety & Stress is a more a constant in daily life
• Lacking purpose or meaning in our work or life 
• Transition, trying to figure out where to head next
• Ungrounded and a bit all over the place 
• Stuck and unable to find your way out
• Hurt, due to challenging (or ending) of Relationship 
• Alone & Seeking more connection, friendship, and community

WE PROMISE YOU, YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!  Join Us

When life feels like something is missing, or that it’s lacking purpose and meaning. When it all feels too hard, or when you sense loneliness. When you've achieved and earned, and still, wonder “Is this it?”

We are here to remind you that the missing piece is Connection. 

We can be physically well (or not), mentally ok (or not), and financially secured (or not), but without being “socially well” –as the World Health Organization reminds us– we can’t be in a state of well-being.

This is why we are dedicated to the emerging practice of Social Well-Being:

“Social”: for the focus on our interactions and connection to one another

“Well”: to create a framework for what it means to be Well in the context of our social connections (friends, family, etc)

"Being”: as the grounded inner-capacity we need to find authentic connections in our relationships with others and within ourselves. 

Here you will find a community committed to solving our own life-quality challenges. Those challenges were created by the dis-connected modern living norms that are filled with little to no meaningful interaction, where texting and social posts dominate our communication from our isolated boxes (home, car, and cubicle) giving us no opportunity to "be" with others regularly.  

This Collective is dedicated to curating and creating content to address one of the most significant challenges of our time, “Social Wellness”, also called loneliness.

We are always seeking and working with practitioners, coaches, therapists, resources, and opportunities to reconnect with oneself and others.

Our main objective: to unite, standardize and create mass awareness on the Social Wellness "Connection" industry.
