Flip the Script. Find the Path.
“A great challenge and the best thing ever. I’ve been looking for this all my life.” - Robyn

Welcome to Life Cafe where we cut through the noise of modern life's deepest struggles - Emptiness. Loneliness. Anxiety. - to find your meaning path. We use creativity, conversation and bold experiments to reshape how you think, feel and connect.
Hi, I’m Dr Paul Whetham, a clinical psychologist with over 30 years experience including my former role as Counselling Director at university. I'm the author of the Meaning Path Trilogy and co-written psychology textbooks. Join us on a journey of discovery.

Loneliness is more than an epidemic and a killer – it’s a signal.
It affects 1 in 2 people in the U.S. and carries the same health risk as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Yet loneliness can also be a call to break free from the well-worn path of modern life (see our Meaning Path 2: Loneliness Unmasked).
The aim of the Beyond Loneliness Project is to train Community Connectors to move the conversation from small talk to soul talk.
We partner with governments and councils to provide skills training:
Dr Paul Whetham did his PhD on loneliness and trained counsellors in university. Now he trains Community Connectors @ Life Cafes.
