EVENT DETAILS

We’re breaking from tradition at our upcoming gathering! This isn’t your typical networking event—it’s a holistic experience designed to cultivate genuine connections while enhancing your wellbeing.

By intentionally incorporating principles of positive psychology, we’ve crafted an environment where meaningful relationships and personal wellness converge.

My spouse, Hannah Vanderheyden, whom many of you have met as a guest at our previous events, will be facilitating this unique experience. As a counsellor at the Trauma Healing Centre of London and the creator of JOYFEST, Hannah brings expertise in community engagement through positive psychology. Her work as a keynote experience facilitator and group trainer has helped numerous organizations transform their workplace culture and employee engagement.

Specifically for this event, she’ll be providing an adapted version of JOYFEST tailored to our group. This approach is scientifically proven to activate wellbeing responses through community connection.

After all, there is no community without “U” and “I”. So thanks for being here.

REGRETS

Please respond to this email with your regrets by no later than end of day on Monday, April 28th.
