We play too much... on PURPOSE!

Let’s Get Social Raleigh (LGSR) is a grassroots, wellness-forward organization on a mission to end loneliness, reduce burnout, and relieve stress through play, nature, and community.

We create joyful, healing spaces where adults can press pause on adulting, feel seen, and reconnect with their inner child and each other.

This is more than self-care, it’s community care. We advance public health through culturally responsive, joy-centered programming that reimagines what social wellness looks like for adults.

With your help, we can build a future where adult loneliness is a thing of the past.

Come outside and play with us!

We’re More Than Social. We’re

SOULFUL!

Our kid-free experiences are intentional opportunities that strengthen the fabric of Raleigh. They are a joyful rebellion against the work-home-sleep-repeat cycle that fosters healthier, happier communities. We create safe spaces where joy, play, and authentic connection take the place of routine and disconnection. Each gathering is thoughtfully crafted to nourish the heart, mind, and soul, because we believe laughter, belonging, and genuine joy are powerful forms of healing.

The impact goes beyond the individual. Our experiences help create more engaged neighbors and energized employees who bring greater well-being, balance, and harmony into every corner of the community. In turn, this cultivates a more vibrant, resilient Raleigh where people thrive both personally and collectively.

Whether you come to play, reset, or reconnect, you’ll enter a community where you are seen, valued, and embraced, exactly as you are, right where you’re at.

Real Words From Real People

Michele created Let's Get Social Raleigh because she believes no one should have to heal alone.

She understands that everyone is fighting their own battles, seen and unseen, and no matter how strong we are, we all need community.

Michele often says, "Most of the ills that plague us as individuals and as a community, can be healed if we built more bridges than walls.", For her, play, nature, and authentic connections are those bridges.

A retired Marine with 20 years of service, 2 combat deployments, and diagnoses of PTSD, anxiety, and depression, Michele found healing in unexpected places. Nature offered her calmness, play brought back her laughter, and authentic community gave her the freedom to live in her truth and vulnerability.

She knew others needed to tap into their own healing journey, and that's how Let's Get Social Raleigh was born.
