307 - From Sober Raves to Corporate Joy: Facilitating Connection Across Contexts with Jacques The Party Scientist

If joy was an episode, then it would be episode 307. Welcome back, for the third time, to Jacques The Party Scientist, sober rave host, and social norm disruptor!

I’ve witnessed Jacques’ journey for quite some years now as he’s facilitated joy, spread his natural antidepressants, and created experiences that unite people through the hedonism of human connection.

He joins us with a party bag of life-affirming, inspiring ideas; from the natural forces of neuroscience, to taking social risks, and being misunderstood - but doing it anyway. Feel the flood of neurochemicals with Jacques, as he brings his goofy, gorgeous, full-of-life self.

Find out about:

• How Jacques facilitates joy and creates the mental health tonic of human connection
• The 3 Cs of Joy: Cultivate physiological state, Celebrate social risks and Co-create community
• Expressing our needs through the liberating act of Radical Honesty
• How Jacques designs psychologically safe spaces that allow people to push past fear 
• Sober raves, consensual hugging and platonic intimacy
