The highs and lows, and the secret jokes inside jokes, funny jokes "Why do you think Instagram doing this to us? !" It's the same method whenever you're around those you know.

The feeling of belonging to the entire community was the main reason for organizing the Soulcial Suite retreat, and it turned out to be an immense success. The experience allowed our group to grow in ways have never before.
  Our retreat helped us to be closer and enabled us to create lasting connections.
  Our mission was re-energized.

Soulcial Suite was built on the idea of connecting and sharing of knowledge.

Moments that are crucial to connect us

If you are part of a community such as that of ours, sharing as well as the experience of collaboration are essential.

  They also discussed ideas as well as concepts to brainstorm possible solutions. The group wasn't just "networking" or thinking about ideas, but were also thinking of ideas and brainstorming.
  It was about allowing another person to look like real people, but not the perfect ones. It was all about allowing another person to be perceived to be flawed.
