PHOTOS NOW AVAILABLE—In mid-September, we gathered for Coffee & Connection, bringing together members of our epilepsy community for a morning of conversation, support, and meaningful connection.

There’s something powerful about simply being together—sharing experiences, meeting new people, and building relationships with others who understand the journey.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so special. Moments like these remind us that no one should have to navigate epilepsy alone. We look forward to creating more opportunities to connect, support one another, and move Forward Together.

PHOTO RECAP NOW AVAILABLE—What an incredible afternoon of creativity, connection, and community.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County for our special screening of Under the Lights - A Film, A Movement at the Museum of Photographic Arts at The San Diego Museum of Art.

Together, we gathered to experience a powerful story that brought epilepsy to the screen, sparked meaningful conversation, and reminded us how important it is for people living with epilepsy to see their experiences represented and understood.

A special thank you to Miles Levin and Kai Cech for joining us for a wonderful Q&A following the film and for spending time with our community. We are also incredibly grateful to Neurelis for making this special event possible through their generous sponsorship and continued commitment to the epilepsy community.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who came together with us. Events like this are about more than watching a film—they’re about raising awareness, creating connection, and building a community where no one affected by epilepsy feels alone.

We’re grateful to have shared this experience with you as we continue moving Forward Together.
