From Rituals to Traditions: Discover the Threads That Connect Us
Saturday, January 10, 11:00 AM EST
You are invited to a collaborative gathering that honors the diverse ways we connect, reflect, and grow together.
In this inter-chapter experience, we will explore how rituals - such as those found in food, storytelling, and celebrations - provide insight into the values and experiences that shape our lives. We will create space for open, respectful conversations where every voice is valued. We will build trust, spark a connection, and invite thoughtful and meaningful exchange.
Guided by a five-part framework centered around TRUST, our journey will move through the following themes:
Traditions
Rituals
Understanding
Shared Experiences
Togetherness
Each step invites us to reflect on where we've come from and to imagine what we can build together.
Join us as we explore how community is cocreated—not just through what we do, but through how we show up for one another.
