On September 5, 2026, The After Society came together in Washington, D.C. for its inaugural Founding Gathering—a morning centered around intentional movement, recovery, nourishment, and connection.

What began with The After Latte and a six-mile community walk through Washington continued over a recovery brunch and conversation back at Cielo Modern Residence.

The Founding Gathering marked the beginning of the community we are building: thoughtful, welcoming, active, and designed around what comes after the effort.
