The community for building Relational Fitness
Going it alone can
only take you so far. . .
You won’t find the answers by isolating yourself or scrolling social media.
If you want to cultivate better personal and professional relationships, deepen your impact, or just feel more connected in your everyday life, you need practice.
THE HOUSE 42 COMMUNITY
Join 100+ members building meaningful connections. From artists to educators to entrepreneurs. Something powerful happens when you intentionally practice interpersonal skills with others. You see your blind spots, grow faster, and — most importantly — have fun.
Practice Gyms
Students and Alumni from our training programs get access to our virtual gyms to keep practicing skills like listening, storytelling and feedback. And yes, we host free sessions—contact us to be invited.









We also design self-organizing, free, in-person communities that meet in cozy venues and living rooms of hosts in Mexico City, Lisbon and San Francisco.
They are designed to foster meaningful connection using best practices from our research.
The designs are open-source and you’re encouraged to borrow/steal whatever you like. Or contact us to officially start a new chapter in your city with support from our team.
Salons
Designed for intellectual connection, we meet weekly to collaboratively explore ideas from art to science to philosophy — kind of like being in college again for adults.
Writers Weekly
We meet weekly to write and connect. Typically, we do 45 minutes of silent co-writing, followed by group or peer-to-peer feedback. Open to writers of any genre, level and language.
Free Playbooks
What if building community could be as easy as playing a board game? We have playbooks for our salon and writers meetups, which you can use for free, officially or not. Steal away.
