He also discusses the challenges of maintaining local identity and the invisible systems that matter most in creating a thriving wellness community.
Why it matters

This allows the community to grow organically as people invite their friends, colleagues, and business partners to participate. The events feature direct access to speakers and experts, pairing scientific research with personal experiences to make the content more relatable and accessible. Safron also emphasizes the importance of maintaining local identity and rhythm in each city, rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all approach.
