You are on a soul path that asks you to step into the greatest version of yourself

Loneliness is an epidemic and a killer. It affects about 1:3 people and can take 15 years off your life.

 Connection is the key to deal with loneliness. However, it’s more about quality than quantity interactions. Then there’s the issue of ‘time’. Research tells us it takes 50 hours to develop a 'casual friend', 90 hours for a 'simple friend' and 200+ hours for a 'close friend'. That's equivalent to 1-hour a week over 4 years to develop a close friendship! (University of Kansas).

Community Connectors are simply skilled friends who have learnt how to connect & listen to others without shutting them down. People who can make the community they live in a better place and impact a lonely world. 

“It helped me look at myself and what I needed to work on to be able to help others” – Felicia

Did you know that lonely people are less wise? Research has found that loneliness is linked with decreased self-reflection, emotional regulation, empathy and compassion (University of California). 

So, in a material world full of distractions and communication junk food (complaining, blaming or judging), deepening connections with others and developing wisdom within ourselves to alleviate loneliness is a big ask. 

You can't take people further than you've gone yourself. This means doing a bit of soul searching yourself. Join us for an epic 30-hour mind & soul journey and learn to re-connect with yourself and others.

Life Cafe Club was created to transform lives and connect communities. Health services are so stretched that there are simply not enough paid professionals to deal with the tsunami of mental health and loneliness issues in the community. 

Unfortunately, professionals are like ambulances at the bottom of a cliff. While this is important, putting a fence of 'Community Connectors' at the top of the cliff makes more sense.

That's why Life Cafe Club provides a range of innovative services, including Workshops, Soul Talk Project and 1:1 counselling, that are in-line with the latest mental health promotion, prevention and early intervention directions.
