Hearth Summit Bangladesh 2026

“We are working harder than ever, yet losing our peace, sleep, and joy of living.”

Hearth Summit Bangladesh 2026 is a gathering for social changemakers to pause, reconnect, reflect, and reimagine the role of personal and collective wellbeing in sustainable social transformation.

By being in nature and remembering that we are nature, we rediscover our interconnectedness with one another and with all living beings.

What is the Regional Hearth Summit

What is the Regional Hearth Summit?

Building on the success of The Wellbeing Project’s first-ever global summit, the regional Hearth Summits allow local communities to celebrate what wellbeing inspires welldoing looks like around the world. Locally led, globally connected, and universally human, these wellbeing summits reflect a momentous ambition to centre wellbeing at the heart of social change worldwide.

Rather than traditional academic or corporate conferences, Regional Hearth Summits are designed as experiential, restorative sanctuaries. They gather frontline caregivers, community leaders, educators, and social entrepreneurs into warm, compassionate spaces where lived experiences, creative healing, somatic grounding, and collective reflection take centre stage.

By translating global methodologies into indigenous cultural contexts and ecological traditions, each regional gathering nurtures personal renewal and relational trust. In Bangladesh, this creates an enduring community of practice—uniting changemakers to move beyond chronic burnout and cultivate a hopeful, regenerative future together.
