you're invited to Edition Zero, a weekend to feel human again

hey you,

if you're reading this, it's because i sent it to you.

i know it's hard to stay focused these days with everything moving so fast, so i'll (try to) keep it short.

not long ago, i left my job and pretty much everything else to start from scratch on something i care deeply about: human connection.

it all started with a simple question: when was the last time i made a real friend?

not a follower. not a coworker. but someone i could call for anything. someone i could talk to for hours without feeling the need to perform.

and the truth is... it's been a while.

funny thing is, when i reconnected with old friends, they kept telling me how amazing my life looked: "the traveler," they said, based on stories. but i didn't feel amazing. i felt misunderstood. like there was a growing gap between how people saw me and who i actually was.

that gap is everywhere now. we're surrounded, but we're not close. we scroll, but we don't see each other. and the more i sat with it, the more obvious it became: it wasn't just me.

so i decided to do something small. something human.

i want to gather a few people; people i admire, respect, or simply feel drawn to — including you — for a weekend together. no pressure. no performance. just real time, with real people.

i think you'd go well along with everyone. and i'd love for you to be there.

→ sooo what's this about?

what if weekends with strangers were the new going out? not clubbing. not yoga. just time offline, with people who don't expect you to be "on."

i cannot tell you what to expect because the weekend will adapt to the people in the room. but i can promise you that it will be a weekend of real connection, real time, and real people.

Edition Zero is a first attempt.

• • 6–8 people
• • somewhere quiet, in a country house
• • 2 days together
• • no phones
• • no big agenda — just bring your most authentic self
• • moments to talk, reflect, walk, write, cook, and simply be
• • not a retreat. not a workshop. more like a weekend getaway with new friends

if you're interested, or even just curious, reply to me directly. no form. no deadline. just let me know.
