Saybrook University is proud to announce its biennial Community Learning Experience, taking place from August 25-29, 2025, in Los Angeles, California. For the first time, registration for this event will be open to the broader public, inviting community members to engage in a transformative opportunity for academic, professional, and personal growth. The 2025 event will explore the theme "Integrating Mind, Body, and Community for Holistic Health."

Designed to foster connection, reflection, and learning, the event will host more than 100 sessions and networking opportunities exploring the role of integrated health in education, therapy, and community engagement. Attendees will leave with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and ideas to bring back to their work and communities.

"At Saybrook, we believe that human connection is the core driver of academic, personal, and professional growth, which is why we are thrilled to open this signature learning experience to the broader community,” said Jeremy Moreland, Ph.D., president of Saybrook University. “As a pioneer in hybrid instruction, we understand that true educational transformation happens in a supportive, interconnected community. We look forward to fostering these vital relationships, empowering our attendees to make an even larger positive impact in their own lives and in the communities they serve.”

Originally developed to enhance engagement for students learning in an online environment, the Community Learning Experience offers a rich program of learning sessions, experiential activities, and inspiring evening events. The five-day event will explore key themes intended to support a holistic approach to learning and well-being including mindfulness, dissertation and research skills, clinical applications, diversity and social justice, and humanistic psychology.

“In our increasingly modern world, fostering genuine belonging and an acute awareness of interconnectedness is vital,” said Michael Horowitz, Ph.D., chancellor of The Community Solution Education System, which includes Saybrook University. “Saybrook’s Community Learning Experience does just that by bringing our vibrant community together to nurture the relationships and shared insights that empower individuals to create lasting impact.”

During the first evening of the Community Learning Experience, Saybrook will come together to mark a new chapter with the inauguration ceremony for Dr. Moreland, who assumed the Saybrook presidency in May.

The Community Learning Experience is made possible, in part, by the support of its sponsors Caliwater (Presenting Trailblazer Sponsor), Mission Community Hospital, and Acting Out of Character (Ambassador of Change Sponsors).
