ABOUT THE SUMMIT ABOUT THE SUMMIT
A Journey of (Re)Discovering Self, Community, and Sustainability
In the serene environment of Sorocaba, Brazil, 200 changemakers gathered for an exciting day full of discovery, connection, and inspiration! Hearth Summit São Paulo built upon the incredible momentum that the first regional summit in Brazil created in 2023 to take actions and conversations around wellbeing and social change to the next level. Led by the innovative team at FACENS University, changemakers embarked on a journey inwards, inspiring self-knowledge and care, and outwards, inviting deeper connections with others and the Earth.
Hearth Summit São Paulo was an emotional and intellectual journey, full of inspiring discussions and experiences. Here, changemakers found an opportunity to (re)encounter themselves and enjoy a moment to experience a new consciousness that can echo beyond the Summit. Changemakers discovered knowledge, information, tools, experiences and awareness about the breadth of the topic of wellbeing and everything it encompasses.
The topics covered and the experiences proposed seek to open minds and hearts so that everyone can live in a more inclusive, sustainable, balanced and loving world. Missed the Summit? Discover session recordings and stories below.
