I have submitted this idea: creating a Happy Altruist Hotel. My project idea focusses on improving the wellbeing of effective altruists by creating a center for that. I am thinking of a physical location, preferably in a nature environment. I will call it (for now) " Happy Altruist Hotel". The way I see it, the happy altruist hotel is a place where all kinds of programs, workshops, retreats and trainings will be organized for (aspiring) effective altruists.
The happy altruist hotel will be a place where EA's come together for inspiration, to learn and connect. A lot of EA's have the tendency to work so hard, that there are severe risks of burnout and even depression. We can organize retreats that focusses on improving wellbeing and happiness within the community. Also this place can be used for career workshops, workshops in applied rationality, etc. I really think there are a lot of possibilities if we would create a place like that.
In my ideal picture we can make a year program with all kinds of retreats for the EA community (also provided by EA's) with a broad diversity of inspirational content. My target group will be the existing community and also new EA's. Or it's also possible to organize ( a part of the year) for profit trainings for companies and groups. In that way the hotel can be financially sustainable in the long run. I think it's good to invest in a project like this, because it's my sincere belief that a happy (effective) altruist takes good care of himself to have a more sustainable positive impact.
