LoveFest Care Package

...

Let's start our day right. We'll introduce ourselves, share what brought us here, and set some intentions for our time together. Think less "spiritual retreat" and more "gathering of curious minds ready to reimagine everything."

While settling in:
... What future are you quietly dreaming of?
... Which parts of you needed this gathering?
... What if this was the beginning of something? Notice where possibility lives in your body...

SEE THE MIRO
...

With Yazmany Arboleda

What happens when we think bigger about what love can do? Yazmany, master of turning public spaces into playgrounds of possibility, kicks us off with stories and insights about the wild and wonderful things that emerge when we lead with heart. From turning prison buses into celebrations of resilience to creating "explosions of love" in communities around the world, his two decades of making the impossible possible show us just how transformative collective acts of care can be.

As Yazmany shares:
... Which stories crack open your imagination?
... Where do you see untapped magic in your spaces?
... What feels newly possible when love leads? Track the moments that make your heart leap...

...

With Keely Adler

Take a guided tour through RADAR's three-month exploration of what happens when we reimagine love as more than just romance and relationships. We've mapped some fascinating territories, uncovered surprising connections, and found some stories that might just change how you see your own corner of the world. Warning: side effects may include questioning perfectly trimmed hedges.

While exploring these worlds:
... Which patterns feel eerily familiar?
... What starts to shift when you zoom out?
... Where do you see love trying to break through? Notice which futures refuse to let go...

SEE THE MIRO
...

Panel Discussion moderated by RADAR

Join strategic designer Jenny Grettve (The Mothering Economy), wellbeing economy expert Amanda Janoo, Root of Two’s Cezanne Charles whose work plays at the intersection of practice and public policy for a dynamic discussion about rebuilding our world's systems with love at their core. From city design to economic structures, we'll explore how radical care could transform our fundamental infrastructure. Big ideas welcome, practical solutions encouraged.During this reimagining:
... Which systems touch your daily connections?
... What breaks when we design without care?
... Where could tenderness transform everything? Consider what becomes possible if love becomes infrastructure...

...

Led by Evva Semenowicz

Because you're more than just a floating head on Zoom. Join ritual designer Evva Semenowicz for a gentle exploration of what becomes possible when we bring our whole selves to imagining better futures.

In this embodied moment:
... What does your body know about love?
... What shifts when you let the melody move through you?
... How does your chosen song capture the future you're dreaming of? Notice how music carries possibilities we can't yet speak...

Act Two: From Dreams to Action

...

Moderated by RADAR

Five brilliant minds, five rapid-fire explorations of love's transformative potential. From reimagining digital spaces and community care to exploring new forms of kinship and collaborative creativity, these quick talks will expand how you think about what's possible when love leads the way. Then, watch the magic happen as these diverse perspectives collide in a lively cross-pollination of ideas – less Q&A, more "what if we combined these wild possibilities?"

As perspectives collide:
... Which intersections spark something new?
... What if these wild ideas met your world?
... Where could these seeds take root? Track the futures trying to find each other...

...

Whether you're craving breakfast, lunch, or a midnight snack (we see you, global dreamers!), take this time to nourish yourself however you need. For the curious souls among us, there's an optional side quest into the spaces between thoughts – where intuition whispers and possibilities multiply. For everyone else, this is your official permission to refuel, stretch, and rest your Zoom eyes.

During this pause:
... Which symbols & signs keep appearing?
... If your intuition had a voice right now, what would it whisper?
... What futures are trying to speak through you? Notice which messages arrive when you create space to listen..

...

with Fancy & Caitlin Keeley

Got an idea for making the world a bit more loving? We've got $10,000 in microgrants to help make it happen. We'll share some wild ideas from our research to get your creative juices flowing, then help you start sketching out your own vision.

While possibilities multiply:
... Which problems make your heart race?
... What if resources were infinite?
... Where do you feel called to begin? Consider what's possible when we resource love...

GET THE BRIEFS
...

Panel Discussion moderated by RADAR

How do we actually practice love as a force for change in our daily lives? Our powerhouse panel brings together unique perspectives on love's transformative potential: cultural anthropologist Kate Mariner in conversation with Flower City Noire Collective founders Tonya Noel Stevens and Kristen Walker, alongside bestselling author Christie Tate, connection designer Lakshmi Rengarajan, and community care advocate Tamela Gordon. Through their collective wisdom and real-world experiments, we'll explore practical ways to transform how we connect with ourselves and each other.

As practices unfold:
... Which approaches light you up?
... What could you try tomorrow?
... Where might small acts cascade? Notice which stories want to become yours...

...

A moment to dream in ink and possibility. Together we'll craft messages to the future we're summoning into being, letting our words become bridges between what is and what could be. Bring your wild heart and a willingness to wonder.

In this dreaming space:
... What futures are asking to be written?
... Which possibilities won't let go?
... Where does hope feel tangible? Track what wants to flow through your pen...

With Olivia Vagelos

What if we approached every space as hopeful romantics? Join experience designer Olivia Vagelos to reimagine a slice of your world through the lens of love. Together, we'll explore how to weave more tenderness, play, and possibility into the places and moments that matter – whether that's transforming your team culture, reimagining a public space, or infusing family rituals with magic. Learn to be brilliantly, bravely extra in the name of human connection. Because sometimes the most revolutionary act is caring enough to make something beautiful.

While reimagining:
... Which spaces are whispering for attention?
... What small shifts feel possible now?
... Where could love redesign everything? Notice which interventions want to begin through you...

SEE THE MIRO
...

with Fancy & Keely Adler

What better way to end our journey than by coming together to let it all sink in? We'll take time to digest the day's discoveries, share what's sparked our imagination, and strengthen the threads of possibility we've spun together. Part reflection, part celebration, part collective dreaming – because the best futures are the ones we imagine together. Plus, we'll make sure you know how to stay connected with this community of thoughtful humans who showed up to reimagine love.

As we close:
... What threads want to be woven forward?
... Which commitments feel alive?
... Where are you called to begin? Consider what becomes possible when we dream together...
