Why We Created FeelSwell Experiences
At FeelSwell Experiences, we’re committed to planning events with purpose, creativity, and connection at the forefront. Our journey began with our previous venture, Coming Out Happy, where we organized impactful retreats focused on relationship building and well-being. As hosts of these intentional gatherings, we witnessed firsthand how strangers from all corners of the world came together and left as friends.
One unforgettable moment stands out: at the end of one retreat, half the attendees decided to get tattoos as a lasting reminder of the deep connections they forged. This experience opened our eyes to the power of thoughtfully designed events that bring people together for a meaningful purpose.
While the world continues to grow more disconnected in our digital age, we understand the profound benefits of gathering in person—not just for any event, but for one that is carefully crafted to inspire connection and engagement. We wanted to bring this experience to you, transforming the industry and changing how we meet. We realized that if we could facilitate such connections among strangers, we could certainly help those already in your circle connect more intentionally.
Building on this foundation, we founded FeelSwell Experiences with a mission to enhance your events throughout Southern California—whether they’re professional meetings, retreats, or social gatherings. We understand that the power of connection is more vital now than ever. So when we gather, let’s ensure it’s meaningful, engaging, and far from just another forgettable event.
