Take time to restore and remember what lights you up! Join us for an evening of joy for educators, leaders and community builders.
Take a breath. You deserve it.
This special evening is designed help us pause, reconnect, and center joy together. Because healing happens in community, and sometimes we all need a moment to remember what brings us joy.
Come experience:
Art Making Stations – Get creative and playful
Wellness Activities – Nourish your mind and body
Intention & Vision Setting – Dream about what’s possible
Delicious Food & Wine – Savor good flavors with good people
Joyful Community Building – Connect with others who care about students, schools, and the future of education.
This isn’t just another networking event. It’s a chance to step away from the hustle, celebrate each other, and remember why this work matters.
Bring your authentic self, your hopes for the year ahead, and your appetite for joy.
We can’t wait to see you there!
