Hi all, At Ikaria, our mission is to help people feel more connected through technology. Once we saw all the amazing virtual events being thrown by people all over the world, we thought we could help by collecting them all in one place to make them easier to discover in this time of social distancing.

@chrysb This is super cool, Chrys! I really miss my pre-quarantine life... I encourage you to apply to wefunder.com/virus! We're investing $50K in companies fighting the coronavirus in creative ways :) Thanks for making this!

How do you prioritize which ideas/events to list?
Chrys Bader
@lastridgely Great question! We've been prioritizing gatherings that help fulfill our social needs during social distancing. In other words, what are people unable to do in person with other people during quarantine that might be available in a virtual setting? We've seen a lot of discussions and talks, wellness practices like meditation, breathwork, and yoga, and also co-creation events like poetry readings and art classes.
