Father Damon joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to talk about something he's spent years building: a members-only experience where people connect through art, conversation, and shared curiosity rather than the usual small talk of a typical night out. Now he's preparing to bring that experience to Miami.
The conversation traces Father Damon's own path — shaped by a spiritual upbringing and decades spent thinking about what people actually need from community — and how that thinking turned into a business built entirely around helping people feel less alone.
About Father Damon
Father Damon grew up in a spiritual household and has spent much of his life exploring questions of meaning, connection, and what draws people together. That exploration eventually led him away from conventional paths and into building his own kind of gathering space.
Today Father Damon is the founder of Alysium VIP, a members-only experience described as blending art, music, and connection into something more intentional than a typical party. He is now relocating his flagship event to Miami, describing the city as the right home for the next chapter of the community he's built.
