The best time to care about
your health

Maurice Lichtenberg organized the first meetup, a morning yoga session in Munich. Simple, but it worked. The people who showed up weren't just curious. They wanted to keep going.

Month after month, the Munich community tried something new. Deep-dives into longevity science. Guest speakers. Cold exposure sessions. One morning, 70 people showed up for yoga at 8am. Each event made the next one easier to fill.

For over a year, Maurice had been running everything alone. Then Laura Pezza showed up at one of the events. They started working together immediately, co-hosted their first event in January 2025 and began planning how to bring the community to other cities.

Going national meant looking the part. Freelance designer Paula Asche came on board and created the identity and logo the community uses today.

At a bouldering meetup, the team met Raphael Hauser. He became the person who was always there. First helping with Munich events, later supporting the expansion across Germany. That same month, Nuremberg launched its own chapter.

Christian Ziegert joined the team to help structure the growth. Planning started for chapters beyond Munich and Nuremberg, with Hamburg, Berlin, and more on the list.

Hamburg held its first event on October 8. A new city, a new community forming around the same idea.

One month later, Berlin followed. Carlos Fontecha and Zelda Vilmar stepped up to lead the chapter and build a local community from day one.

Longevity is more than physical. Johanna Kresin joined the team to bring psychology into the conversation. From stress, sleep, and motivation to how people think about aging in the first place.

On January 4, San Francisco became the first chapter outside of Europe. Around the same time, Gaurav Ghosh and Daniil Gavlitskii joined to launch the community's first podcast.

Miami followed with Anu Pahalajani leading the chapter. Around the same time, Lukas Eichhammer, who the team first met at ISPO Munich, joined to help develop a regular Stammtisch format.

A launch event in Zürich brought the movement to Switzerland, the first chapter in a new country in Europe.

What started as a yoga session in Munich has grown into 60+ events across multiple countries. New chapters are forming. New formats are being tested. The community keeps building.
