    Ramsés Gómez Molina

    Global Director, Regional Ecosystems at The Wellbeing Project

    Ramsés is a Skoll Fellow and Director for Regional Ecosystems at The Wellbeing Project, helping place wellbeing at the heart of social change.

    He strengthens ecosystems that support changemakers to act with greater joy in ways that are sustainable, congruent, and scalable, bridging inner wellbeing with collective and systemic transformation.

    Across Latin America, he has advanced social entrepreneurship and social innovation in business and Higher Education. Previously, he led Sistema B (B Corp movement) in Mexico, Ashoka U in Latin America, and co-founded Impact Hub Mexico City.

    He holds a Master’s in Innovation for Business Development and a BA in International Business (Magna Cum Laude) from Tecnológico de Monterrey. He is a member of the Compassionate Leadership Network (supported by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and led by Daniel Goleman, Tara Goleman, and Dr. Richard Davidson), as well as the BMW Foundation Responsible Leaders network. He also serves on Ashoka’s Mexico selection panel and sits on the board of Ashoka Mexico.

    Ramsés believes that a deep redefinition in how humans relate to one another and planet is vital to solving humanity’s greatest challenges.Through this experience, I have developed a deeper understanding of how well-designed financial, informational, and collaborative systems can support communities and enable organisations to work toward social and environmental well-being.

    What does inner wellbeing mean to you?

    I perceive inner wellbeing as one of the most effective and yet one of the most challenging ways of being.

    How would you define wellbeing in one word?

    Authenticity. One thing that I’ve observed (and experienced!) to be true is that the more we are in contact with ourselves, the “easier” it is to pursue what is relevant and true. To be able to define authenticity as a path for wellbeing has been the result of a very long and on-going personal journey

    Are there any rituals or practices you use to enhance your wellbeing?

    Nature has been increasingly my go-to place. Also, one of my key learnings after attending the Wellbeing Summit was the idea of “going home”, which has nothing to do with a physical place per se but rather being in constant connection with myself

    Why is it important that we prioritize individual, organizational and societal wellbeing?

    So that the work of our field becomes more enjoyable, congruent, and sustainable.

    Do you have any favorite books, podcasts, or articles that you believe support, promote or educate on wellbeing and related themes?

    Yes. On Being by Krista Tippett is my go-to Podcast when I am in need of inspiration. These are two of my favorites episodes: Ai-jen Poo, This Is Our (Caring) Revolution – Listen to the Podcast, and Ocean Vuong, A Life Worthy of Our Breath – Listen to the Podcast

        Maria Fernanda Zúñiga González

        Coordinator in Finance and Fundraising Team

        Bogotá,
        Colombia

        My name is María Fernanda Zúñiga González, a Colombian biologist and designer at the Universidad del Rosario, Bogotá, Colombia. My work explores the intersection of science, design, and care, focusing on how complex knowledge can be translated into accessible and meaningful experiences for society. From an early age, I have been driven by curiosity, exploring interests that ranged from studying insects to learning handicraft techniques such as crocheting and sewing.

        I initially pursued a degree in Biology, where I participated in research groups in ecology, genetics, and medical microbiology, contributing to three peer-reviewed scientific publications. While completing my dissertation during the COVID-19 pandemic, I became aware of the communication gap between scientific knowledge and the public, particularly regarding health and disease. This realisation led me to transition into design in order to develop new ways to communicate science through visual, interactive, and material approaches.

        I have also participated in international academic experiences at the University of the Fraser Valley in Canada and the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, where I explored emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, in creative practices and game design.

        In addition to my academic work, I currently collaborate with The Wellbeing Project, supporting the fundraising and finance team. My responsibilities include organising and maintaining donor and network data, reviewing contracts and documentation to ensure compliance with donor requirements, supporting financial reporting, and contributing to quality control of the fundraising pipeline. I also assist with donor database migration and CRM implementation, helping transition organisational data into more structured systems.

        Through this experience, I have developed a deeper understanding of how well-designed financial, informational, and collaborative systems can support communities and enable organisations to work toward social and environmental well-being.

        What does inner wellbeing mean to you?

        For me, inner wellbeing means being in a reflective state of inner peace and transmitting calm to those around you.

        How would you define wellbeing in one word?

        Reflection

        Are there any rituals or practices you use to enhance your wellbeing?

        For my well-being, playing sports and doing manual activities such as crocheting or embroidery help me relax my mind. I also find comfort in spending time with my family and petting my dog.

        Why is it important that we prioritize individual, organizational and societal wellbeing?

        It is important to first work on individual well-being and then scale it up to the organizational level, just as biological systems function—from the cell to the organ and the human body. Damage to a single cell can disrupt the functioning of the entire organism. In the same way, every unit in a society is equally important.

        Do you have any favorite books, podcasts, or articles that you believe support, promote or educate on wellbeing and related themes?

        I recommend the books “Once upon a Cow” and “Find Your Vitamin Person,” which help you conduct a self-assessment of your behaviours.

        Laurent Muratet

        Marketing and Communications Director

        Paris,
        France

        Laurent has worked for over 20 years in marketing and communications, with a constant focus on bringing structure and clarity to organizations driven by strong social and ecological commitments. Beyond his professional work, he has been engaged with grassroots and non-violent movements, exploring the deep connection between inner transformation and systemic change — a conviction he has pursued through writing and documentary filmmaking.

        What does inner wellbeing mean to you?

        It is about creating the conditions in your life that allow this space to exist and to be nurtured through consistent practice

        How would you define wellbeing in one word?

        Mental Peace

        Are there any rituals or practices you use to enhance your wellbeing?

        I practice a 20mn meditation every morning as soon as I wake up.

        Why is it important that we prioritize individual, organizational and societal wellbeing?

        Wellbeing is not only an individual matter. It is also about the way we interact with our community and with nature — and, ultimately, the deep understanding that everything is interdependent and interconnected.

        Do you have any favorite books, podcasts, or articles that you believe support, promote or educate on wellbeing and related themes?

        My most recent read — and current favourite — is “Reconciliation: Healing the Inner Child” by Thich Nhat Hanh

        Giuliana Lomonaco

        Regional Summits Senior Manager

        Lugano,
        Switzerland

        Giuliana is a sociologist, social researcher, and program lead whose work is rooted in a deep curiosity for people’s stories, beliefs, and emotions. For her, working towards social change is both a method and a practice of listening, learning, and co-creating with individuals and communities across diverse socio-cultural, national, religious, and generational contexts. Over the past decade, she has led research-informed design, implementation, and evaluation processes for social and cultural change initiatives in Colombia, Kuwait, and internationally, working with public institutions, NGOs, and civic organizations.

        Her work centers on the exploration and reshaping of social norms and cultural narratives, and on the integration of art, play, and embodied practices into systems change and community-building efforts. She has led participatory research and transformative learning programs that advance radical inclusion, inter-communal dialogue, and collaborative resilience, including the Hearth Summit Kuwait.

        Giuliana’s understanding of the interconnectedness of individual, collective, and environmental wellbeing is informed by theories emerging from intersectional feminism, politicized somatics, and healing justice. Guided by an anti-oppressive and social ecology lens, she is committed to cultivating spaces where people can reconnect with their bodies, one another, and the ecosystems they inhabit, and where more just, compassionate, and life-affirming futures can be imagined together.

        What does inner wellbeing mean to you?

        Capacity to feel centered in (and embody) dignity, safety, belonging, and purpose.

        Are there any rituals or practices you use to enhance your wellbeing?

        Contemplative practices, somatic therapy, mindfulness methods, breathwork.

        Why is it important that we prioritize individual, organizational and societal wellbeing?

        Because feeling more at home in our bodies, in our lands, and in our relationships with others helps us imagine more just, compassionate, and life-affirming futures for all.

        Do you have any favorite books, podcasts, or articles that you believe support, promote or educate on wellbeing and related themes?

        I’m a very big fan of the work of Staci Haines and Adrienne Maree Brown.

        Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen

        Cankarjev Dom Homebase

        17.06 – 20.06.2025 in Ljubljana, Slovenia

        Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen are a Norwegian-Finnish artist duo. Together, they work with complementing skills in photography, wearable sculpture and text, with a core mission to highlight dialogue on radical system change on interspecies relations.

        Their twelve-year-long collaboration, Eyes as Big as Plates, has been exhibited and collected by art institutions worldwide, including the Barbican Centre in London, the Norwegian Museum of Photography and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki.

        Eyes as Big as Plates captures individuals actively involved or impacted by effects of today’s era of mass extinction: farmers, surfers, grandmas, citizen scientists, rewinding experts, wild boar hunters, mycologists, philosophers, etc.

        Through photography, wearable sculpture, action research, and activism, the artists call for a collective and synchronised environmental stewardship.

        The evocative portraits reframing older adults as wise figures connect us back to the natural world and present an ongoing exploration of relations across beings, challenging conventional narratives on how humans relate to their surroundings.

        The artists have travelled the world over the years and the project has now grown to have 150 portraits captured in 17 countries across five continents.

        NGOsource

        The Equivalency Determination on File “badge” means that the organization was at one time determined by NGOsource to be equivalent to a U.S. public charity or government instrumentality for a specific funder during a specific period of time. The badge is neither a legal designation nor does it represent a valid determination: it is intended for marketing purposes only. U.S. grantmakers interested in funding a foreign organization may request an equivalency determination (“ED”) through NGOsource.

        When a grantmaker requests an ED for an organization that has already been determined equivalent (i.e., is on file in the NGOsource repository), the cost is typically lower (and the process typically simpler) than it would be for an organization that does not yet have an ED on file.

        What does inner wellbeing mean to you?
        Being at peace and in harmony with myself.

        Are there any rituals or practices you use to enhance your wellbeing?
        Practices like mindful breathing and creating special moments for myself with care and awareness.

        Why is it important that we prioritize individual, organizational and societal wellbeing
        If we don’t take the time to balance ourselves, everything else falls out of order. When an individual is thriving, it becomes a source of wellbeing for others, creating a positive ripple effect throughout organizations and society.
