PURPOSE
Our purpose is to co-create a just and sustainable world by holding space for the magic of human connection.
THEORY OF CHANGE
By holding brave spaces for facilitated, small group conversations that nurture real presence, people can connect at the human level to engage and collaborate towards individual, collective, and planetary flourishing.
THE PROBLEM OF THE STATUS QUO
For all the democratizing and collaborative potential that the internet offers, the reality is that the majority of our online interactions take place in environments tainted by anger, dehumanization, and confirmation bias. Instead of bringing us closer together, Twitter tantrums and Facebook feuds are driving us further apart. Most modern business practices aren’t any better as even well-meaning companies struggle to resist the worst impulses of capitalism.
Many of us care deeply about taking action to address the many issues facing our global ecosystem, yet doing so requires the space to connect meaningfully with others. In dialogue, we gain the abilities and insights required for the development of viable solutions. But without widespread opportunities for this kind of connection, we instead resign to scrolling through dumbed-down media feeds, amplifying an epidemic of isolation.
Current algorithms end up keeping us apart from those who don’t share the same perspective—meanwhile, we’re longing for authentic connection, even with those who think differently. Several recent studies point to alarming trends: roughly one-third of young adults report frequent loneliness, while aging populations continue to struggle with isolation. Even in an age of exponentially expanded digital networks, we must remember that it is the quality, not the quantity, of our relationships that matter.
While online groups and community management tools exist, they lack key elements of meaningful connection: the emotional integrity realized through real-time interactions and facilitation, and the collective empowerment achieved through mutual support and accountability.
SCALING INTIMACY AS A SOLUTION
FeelReal is a social platform and consultancy co-creating a just and sustainable world by holding space for the magic of human connection. Even when conversations get emotional and messy, facilitated spaces maintain the recognition of shared humanity, in turn creating a stable foundation for emergent solutions. By centering around authentic relationship and vulnerability, individuals and organizations alike can connect to their intrinsic motivations to make a positive impact, exponentially increasing the potential for transformation beyond data- or profit-driven strategies alone.
