In 2023, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared a loneliness epidemic—it's a real crisis that has serious effects on our emotional and physical health.
Fortunately, we have the tools to address the crisis head on. The Belongfulness Project is here to provide resources that raise awareness, offer best practices, and train you and the people you care about to feel connected. No one ever taught us how to belong, until now.
Belonging isn't just about being social. Check out our free playbook to start your journey towards greater connection to yourself and the world around you.
62% of employees experience serious loneliness—and they underperform as a result. That means belongful employees overperform. Learn how to make belonging your team's secret weapon.
Cafes, coworking spaces, bars, bookstores, and more—if you run a space that hosts gatherings and brings people together, you play an indispensible role in re-weaving our social fabric.
Public officials are in an ideal position to raise awareness of the health implications of loneliness and to point people to the resources that will help them the most.
Deep Fun NYC is a two‑hour, facilitator‑led “playshop” that uses high‑energy physical games and exercises—drawn from theater, clowning, and improvisation—to stimulate collective joy, vulnerability, and self‑inquiry. Participants move through four categories of play (collective, competitive, pair, and individual) to experience peak fun, shared purpose, and the phenomenon of collective effervescence in an intergenerational, sliding‑scale environment.
