Trilith Foundation to Host 2026 Flourishing Summit in Fayetteville

The summit builds upon the foundation’s April 2026 publication, Human Flourishing: A Field Guide, created in partnership with Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program and Baylor University’s Institute for Global Human Flourishing. While the publication provided a structural framework for community well-being, the upcoming event aims to animate these concepts through direct dialogue and storytelling.

The speaker lineup features a cross-disciplinary group, including Emmy-winning actor Paul Walter Hauser, Gallup CEO Jon Clifton, and Chick-fil-A executive Dan T. Cathy. They will be joined by AI strategist James Poulter, wellness expert Miles Adcox, and Baylor researchers Dr. Byron Johnson and Dr. Matthew Lee. According to Jordan Preston, the foundation's director of events, the goal is to ensure attendees leave with actionable shifts toward a life of genuine purpose.

Rather than a standard lecture series, the day is designed around main-stage pairings of academics and storytellers, alongside breakout sessions covering AI, business, and education. The venue will also host wellness activations, including chiropractic care and nervous system support. The summit serves as a pillar of the Trilith Foundation’s mission to support the mental health of the creative community surrounding the Trilith Studios complex in Georgia.
