About
We are wealthier and more technologically advanced than ever, yet loneliness and social fragmentation are rising. This talk by Andrew Welch, author of "The Value Crisis", introduces the Rekhi–Environment Initiative and a new framework for understanding the “value crisis”: the disconnect between numeric success and lived human experience.
This family-friendly community event invites us to rethink what truly creates happiness, resilience & thriving communities!
