The founders of FeelReal will share how the principles and practices of circle promote equity, inclusion, and emergence.

FeelReal is an experiential social platform powered by a community and designed for social impact. We create and curate inclusive and authentic experiences for people to come together to share stories and resources, to practice emotional wellness and mindfulness, and to build resilient and equitable communities. We call this practice of real-time, facilitated, small-group dialogue “being in circle.”We’re on a mission to transform the geometry of human interaction—shifting from fragmented, power-over hierarchies to connected communities of deep relationship and mutual aid. Our platform isn’t about inventing new technology; it’s about bringing many powerful technologies together, closing the gaps, and reinventing our relationship to them.

This commitment to holistic change and authentic relationships isn’t just customer-facing; it governs how we show up and do business on a daily basis. Whether allocating investment according to a dynamic equity model, establishing a business model that values emotional labor, centering marginalized communities, or always making space for full expression, FeelReal is evolving not only what we do, but how we do it.
