About Us

The Shine® is a volunteer-produced inspirational variety show that happens pop-up style in Los Angeles, New York and London about once every 2-3 months. The event features music from local bands, inspiring short films, group meditation, audience-based philanthropy, delicious food, fun questions, and storytelling.

Our simple mission is to create a local, alcohol-free social experience that will leave you feeling nourished and inspired to do more, give more, and be more. We believe inspiration is the key to bettering our world. Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: “Our chief desire is for someone to inspire us to be what we know we can be.”
