Here’s what you must do to design gatherings that create lasting positive relationships.

Whether your event is physical or virtual, the same rule applies. You have to prevent your guests from feeling distracted, disconnected, disengaged… or worse, consumed by smartphones and alcohol.

Contrary to what the average event does, there is a far better approach to avoid all this than open bars, fancy décor, and expensive performers—this is the old way of designing social gatherings.

When all other event planners are playing it safe and thinking conventionally, it’s easy for you to stand out as a genius, raise your reputation, and leave your guests energized, connected, and motivated. Here’s how.

Make their human connections more joyful, meaningful, and vulnerable.

How do you transform passive small-talking, scrolling, watching and boozing INTO active laughing, bonding, celebrating and playing?

Unite your people with shared experiences that…

✔ Flood the brain with healthy neurotransmitters.
 Create a sense of psychological safety & belonging.
 Annihilate loneliness and self-consciousness.
 Generate long-lasting relationships, not temporary fun.

Welcome to the future of social gatherings.

This is my expertise.

The science

That’s me in action. Leading a social-bonding experience for LUSH cosmetics.

This is my way of spreading the mental and physical health benefits of human connection.

Over the last 6 years, I’ve developed a new practice that combines meditation, movement, laughter, gratitude, and playful connection. Professionally facilitated and based on the science of social-bonding.

It’s called vyving and it’s designed to unlock the full health benefits of connection.

Vyving is the product of 1100+ experimental parties and workshops over the last 6 years.

During the process, which took place across 14 countries, I discovered the research on social neurochemistry.

This discovery led me to start designing activities that evoke the release of happiness neurotransmitters: Dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Vyving is a sequence of these activities.

I’m now ready to share vyving with movers and shapers in the events & meetings industry. Courageous ones.

I want to work with you to raise the mental health and belonging of everyone who attends your event.

Schedule an advisory chat and let’s strategize about making your event one that leaves your guests happier and healthier, asking two questions.

“When is your next event?!”
And… “Can I bring my friends!?”

EXPERIENCES

Vitality Vyve — This is my signature wellness experience, guaranteed to flood the brain with healthy neurotransmitters whether virtual or physical.

Focused on “getting high through human connection,” it incorporates games, line-dances, and other activities I have invented based on social neurochemistry.

It’s a combination of improv, meditation, and zumba, all adjusted to the comfort level of your group.

Certified Party Crash — Surprise, unite, and exhilarate your crowd. And have everyone talking about it afterwards — “What just happened?” “I don’t know, but I’ll remember it forever.”

Certified party crashes are interactive, theatrical, and participatory. They elevate the energy and unity in an audience in less than 15 minutes.

The rest is a secret.

Belonging Vyve — This relational experience involves vulnerability and story-telling exercises, designed to deepen psychological safety and trust. It involves removing the professional mask and revealing the humanity in all of us.

It’s slower, deeper, and more tender. Example exercises include Life Journey Stories and Show-n-Tell.
