ABOUT RE:AL

A space for
real questions.

RE:AL is a youth initiative designed for people who feel that modern life has given us endless choices, yet fewer clear answers about what actually matters.

OUR ORIGIN

Why we started.

We live in a world of unprecedented connectivity, yet rates of isolation and uncertainty among young adults are at historical peaks. Most digital products are built to capture your attention; few are built to help you reflect on how you live.

RE:AL was created to offer an antidote: an offline, intentional space where young people and students can slow down, meet without pretension, and ask the foundational questions of life.

WHAT WE OFFER

4-Week Cohorts

Intimate, discussion-based courses exploring topics like friendship, work-life balance, identity, and the science of happiness.

Community Experiences

Weekend trail hikes, communal cooking dinners, creative workshops, and regular community gatherings.

Timeless Philosophy

Exploring consciousness, purpose, and Bhakti wisdom drawn from the ancient Sanskrit text, the Bhagavad-gītā.

OUR COMMUNITY

Who sits at our tables?

You don’t have to fit into a box to be here. Our community includes people from very different walks of life:

The Seekers

Looking for Depth

Young people tired of surface-level small talk and endless screen scrolling, seeking genuine conversations about purpose and what truly matters.

The Inquirers

Intellectually Curious

Students and thinkers drawn to Eastern philosophy, the Bhagavad-gītā, psychology, and timeless debates about consciousness and duty.

The Travelers

Looking for Friends

New arrivals in town, international students, and locals looking to build authentic, lasting friendships over home-cooked dinners and trail walks.

The Skeptics

Honest Questioners

Atheists, agnostics, and rationalists who appreciate open, respectful debate without dogma, forced conversions, or having to agree with everyone.

AN ISKCON INITIATIVE

Modern questions. Ancient wisdom.

RE:AL is an initiative inspired by the philosophy and universal spiritual teachings shared through the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
