Lifefulness has been loved by…
Lifefulness is a powerful new framework for culture and community.
Create an extraordinary culture by focusing on unusual outcomes: meaning, belonging and soul.
Meaning defines what matters to your team.
Meaning is how we make sense of the world, how we choose what is relevant, and what to ignore.
New research into meaning at work shows that it is a leading indicator for employee engagement, performance and satisfaction.
Belonging is the key to creativity and innovation.
Humans evolved to live in tribes, which is why being part of a trusted group is at the heart ‘psychological safety’.
Research into ‘psychological safety’ shows it is a vital factor in innovation.
When your team feel safe they can be creative and take the risks that are needed to thrive in a world that is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) .
Soul brings meaning and belonging to life.
Well-intentioned presentations, away days and company values count for little if people don’t feel them deeply: you need soul.
It’s an indictment of the workplace that it’s easy to picture a ‘soulless office’ (grey, cubicle-y, pointless, inhuman, distant) but hard to picture one that’s ‘soulful’.
Soul is intangible but Lifefulness provides processes, practices, and theoretical approaches that bring it to your workplace.
The Lifefulness Project connects people through meaning, and finds meaning through people.

What is Lifefulness?
Reimagining ancient wisdom.
The Lifefulness methodology adapts the techniques of spiritual communities and congregations, in a way that is inclusive and suitable for the workplace.
Practices that were previously considered ‘spiritual’ can be used in the office, giving teams new tools to build cohesion, wellbeing and purpose.
Lifefulness (ike mindfulness and yoga) was pioneered in a spiritual context then adapted to fit the modern world.
This communal framework can be used to design events, courses, team cultures or even an entire organisation.
What’s the evidence behind the practice? Has it worked before?
Tried and tested.
Lifefulness was developed at Sunday Assembly - the groundbreaking community building charity - which built inclusive, congregations across the world from London to Los Angeles, Amsterdam to Auckland.
The methodology was used to build 80 communities in 8 different countries improving wellbeing, tackling mental health and reducing social isolation.
For this work Sanderson Jones was elected to the Ashoka Fellowship.
Evidence Based
A 2015 study by Oxford and Brunel University of participants in Lifefulness communities showed that it had a significant impact on their wellbeing and belonging.
A further study in 2019 (soon to be published) showed that taking part in Lifefulness communities created a greater sense of social cohesion.
