Living Well Initiative · London

Living well is a practice;
A better life is the product.

Being is a community for people who want to live well together sustainably. Attentive gatherings, honest conversations, practical knowledge and habits that make daily life worth noticing.

A platform for grounded practice, collective change.

Founded

A home for people who care more about life — and each other.

Being sits at the intersection of community, culture, and care.

We operate through Living Well Initiative (LWI), a new-era campaign that brings a series of programmes and gatherings designed around attention, presence, and the art of daily life.

We connect meaningfully to gain knowledge and build the habits of a life well-lived.

Being Commons is a non-profit. Every programme we run is funded by the people who believe in it — and every pound goes back into building spaces where people can grow together.

What we believe

01

Attentiveness is a form of intelligence

In a world optimised for speed, choosing to slow down and be attentive is an act of clarity. We build spaces where true effectiveness is prioritised over efficiency and busyness.

02

Presence & Awareness are the rarest gifts

Everything we do is designed to make people more present and aware — to themselves, to others, and to the small, important things that actually make life good.

03

Community is the companion

Living well is not a solo project. The people we gather with shape how we see the world. We take that seriously.

Founder
Angel Yu
on behalf of Living Well Initiative Seed Team

"I have lived this. Living well is not a privilege — it is a foundation. And because I have felt what it does, I'd pay it forward for more to come."

The Team

We are a collective of top university graduates and visionary young people united by a shared conviction: that how we live is how we lead. Rooted in diverse disciplines — from education and psychology to biology and computer science — we are devoted to building a new kind of platform for self-growth and collective change. We don't just study these ideas; we live them, test them, and bring them back to the people around us.

Being community gathering

We'd love to hear from you.

We're always looking for partners to walk this path alongside us. The platform grows because the people in it grow. You participate and are enriched, not just to contribute.

Whether you have vision, means, or ideas — whether you run a venue, brand, or initiative — let's talk.
