About the event

 

“Each year that passes is unique. Individually, and collectively, we all go through the 365 days of the year bravely, never knowing what tomorrow holds. Your own individual path has held profound moments since the turn of the calendar year many months ago - moments that have shaped your present and will shape the year to come. It’s no wonder that so many of us have an impulse to reflect on the events of our year, how they’ve shaped us, the lessons we’ve learned, and taking time to intentionally imagine the year to come.” Christa Hesselink
