Trilith Foundation Flourishing Summit

What does it actually mean to flourish?

Not just survive. Not just succeed. But truly, deeply flourish — in your work, your relationships, your health, your sense of purpose.

That question is at the center of the most ambitious research project in the world right now. And this September, the lead researchers behind it are joining us for conversations with those forming culture- you.

The Flourishing Summit brings together the people who study human flourishing and the people who shape human culture: scientists, storytellers, athletes, artists, musicians, and leaders who believe the world gets better when both rooms talk to each other.

For one day, they will.

What to Expect

Fresh off the Global Flourishing Study, one of the largest and most comprehensive examinations of human wellbeing ever conducted, lead researchers from Harvard and Baylor will share what the data actually says about what makes a life go well. Not theory or self-help talking points. Real, peer-reviewed, paradigm-shifting findings, made accessible, actionable, and alive.

Then, some of the most compelling voices in culture will take the stage to show what those findings look like when they leave the lab and enter real life: on screen, in music, in sport, in the spaces where culture is actually made.

Conference or Collision?

Academia needs storytellers to carry its findings into the world. Storytellers need frameworks to make their work mean something deeper. Culture changes when both sit in the same room.

That room is rare, and we're building it at the Summit.

You'll Leave With

Language and frameworks from the Global Flourishing Study, the most current and rigorous science on what it means to thrive.

Real relationships with researchers, creatives, and leaders across industries who share your conviction that the world can be better.

A concrete commitment, one practice, one shift, one next step, that you take home and actually follow through on.

The opportunity to purchase the Flourishing Field Guide, your practical companion for living a flourishing life.

Who This Is For

You're already doing meaningful work and making an impact, but somewhere in you is the sense that there's more: more depth, more intention, more purpose available to the work you do and the life you lead.

You might be a filmmaker, a musician, an executive, an athlete, a pastor, a nonprofit leader, a therapist, or a teacher. Your industry doesn't matter. What matters is that you believe culture is worth fighting for and that you're willing to be equipped to fight for it better.

This summit was built for you.

Breakout Sessions

Beyond the main stage, you'll have the chance to go deeper in hands-on breakout experiences designed to move flourishing from concept to practice. Sessions span physical wellbeing, creativity, mental health, community, and spiritual formation, led by practitioners who live what they teach.

The Field Guide

Every attendee receives a preview edition of the Human Flourishing Field Guide, a first-of-its-kind resource built on the research of the Global Flourishing Study, designed to help individuals and communities turn evidence into everyday practice. Think of it less as a book and more as a tool, one you'll actually use.

This is an intentional mid-size gathering. The summit is designed for depth for the kind of conversation and connection that only happens when the room is the right size.

Researchers need storytellers. Storytellers need frameworks. You need both.
