Laughter, Oneness, Love
Today, we’re more digitally connected than ever.
Yet more physically disconnected than ever before.
RECONNECT offers a transformative experience that helps people reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the life source, through its signature gesture, sound, the philosophy of Reconnectivism™, and its uplifting principles of LOL: Laughter, Oneness, and Love.
Its unique physical gesture and joyful sound “Mm‑Hmm!” have been shared across all 50 U.S. states and embraced nationally and internationally by major public figures and globally recognized institutions.
“During a Reconnect action, participants begin by crossing their arms over their chest, preparing to connect. Then, each person brings their palms together, left to right, with another person, embracing hands in a shared gesture of Human Reconnection. At that exact moment, they make the universal sound Mm‑Hmm!, a sound of agreement found across cultures.
This simultaneous movement and sound sparks spontaneous laughter, softens hearts, and invites unity. It’s a tangible, physical moment of shared presence and collective consciousness.
From there, something extraordinary happens. People agree, consciously or not, to open themselves to Oneness. They unite through the Reconnect gesture, entering a shared moment of joy, presence, and physical connection. This isn’t just symbolic; it’s biological. Touch activates something deep in us, the oxytocin hormone, healing and our humanity. It’s collective consciousness in motion.
And then comes Love. When laughter and oneness align, people feel it. Love, not just as an emotion, but as an agreement: to become one with another, with the moment, and with the invisible source of life that carries many names and touches us all.
You can’t fully describe it. You can’t fully capture it in photos or videos.
You have to be there.
You have to Reconnect.”
— Cliff Divine, Founder of RECONNECT
“The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.”
— Mahatma Gandhi, political and spiritual leader of India
The Reconnect gesture and sound have been embraced by hundreds of thousands of people around the world, from all walks of life, using Reconnectivism through human connectivity to overcome differences in skin color, culture, gender, religious beliefs, political and sexual orientation, physical appearance and ability, social status, class, and educational background,
all in pursuit of one ultimate goal: to help build a strong, united, and loving humanity.
“Humanity didn’t succeed because we were the most intelligent beings on the planet,
we succeeded because we were able to work together.”
— Mo Gawdat, former CBO of Google X

Creating Momentum of Unlimitedness and Inspiration
The philosophy of Reconnectivism goes far beyond the signature gesture and sound.
It also advocates for building bridges and ethics between humanity and emerging technologies
so that we do not let technology run our lives, but instead use technology for the good of humanity. That is the essence of Humanology and at its heart Human Reconnection.
This message is more urgent than ever, especially for younger generations
and for all those struggling with tech addiction and digital overload.
“We are constantly increasing our technology.
With Reconnectivism, let’s increase our humanology.”
— Cliff Divine, Reconnect Founder
A Reconnect action is a unique and empowering experience
for both kids and adults that has, time and again, inspired people
to become forces for good in their everyday lives. Using the gesture and sound,
and the principles of Laughter, Oneness, and Love, people learn to overcome feelings of powerlessness and take meaningful action, whether by joining the Reconnect movement
or starting their own missions for the greater good.
They begin to see Reconnect as a superpower, and Reconnectivism as a lifestyle,
a path to creating the change they want to see in both their inner and outer worlds.
They realize the power is in their hands, and within themselves, to co-create a better world,
through the simple yet profound act of Human Reconnection.
