MEANINGFUL MORNING is an initiative launched in 2018 in Utrecht, Netherlands, by #ebbfmembers Rahmin Bender-Salazar + Gilberto Morishaw + Oscar Mendez Rosa to explore the meaning of social impact.
These initial in-person and online conversations over the years aimed to foster a discourse, bridging understanding, providing earnest curiosity about our world, and building communities of learning. This is all built on a foundation of respect, kindness, and exploration.
Through many evolutions and iterations, this online monthly community meeting is a product of the continuous conversations held online and in-person on diverse topics, including justice, sustainable futures, creativity, expertise, joy, learning, culture, work-life balance, faith, business ethics, and relational wellbeing.
This season of Meaningful Morning will be comprised of six sessions between November 2025 and April 2026, will be a bit different, yet retain the spirit of the many iterations and versions of this space we have maintained over the year. We will continue to strive to be a bridge between research, practice, faith, and thought. The format will still have spirited and joyful conversation, but will begin with a short presentation on the theme, some questions, quotes, links, media to think about and then move into a facilitated exploration of the topic, bringing in diverse expertise, perspectives, faiths, beliefs, and cultures.
