What if your next conversation could change your life?

Why LARC?

We live in a world where people don’t talk to each other as much as they used to.

It’s easy to feel alone.

It’s hard to know what to say — especially when the topic is tough.

LARC offers a return to something simple and powerful: real human connection in a world overwhelmed by screens, loneliness, and division.

Join us at a LARCshop to learn more.

The Lost Art of Random Conversations (LARC) is a social movement and practice that addresses loneliness and division in our communities, one meaningful conversation at a time.

  • Everyone with whom I had a conversation opened up my eyes to different ways of thinking and living. An experience like that is truly energizing.

  • LARC requires trust, relative quiet, and a mutual desire to connect that I don't see in my ordinary life.

  • LARC is a profound reminder of how the connection we so deeply desire in life is always one conversation away - whether it is finding presence in a chat with a random stranger, or asking that random question that comes to mind while talking with a loved one.

  • LARC invites us to ask the question, then truly listen to the response
