The NYC community of the House is coming together for an evening of connection and inspiration. John C. Havens presents the Togetherland workshop, designed to address the epidemic of loneliness, after which we dive into a holiday potluck.

We will bring together 400 business leaders, scientists, artists, policy-makers, activists, and educators from all around the world for three days of immersion, inspiration, and ideation. The Gathering will feature more than 50 speakers and performers, and result in The Vows, a set of concrete principles for the life-centered economy.

We’ll gather 1,000 attendees from a variety of sectors at a farm estate near the Arrábida National Park 30 minutes south of Lisbon, Portugal, for The Camp. Think Un-Conference meets Open-Air festival, with talks, conversations, social experiments, training, workshops, music, and dance. A bootcamp for the life-centered economy.
