Why This Matters
Loneliness raises mortality risk comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day (Holt-Lunstad, 2010). The remedy isn't more friends — it's the same few faces, met often, in low-stakes settings. Bloom is built around that finding.
The Twelve Gatherings
Each template includes a cadence, conversation starters, accessibility notes, and a plan for keeping it alive past month two.
