BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

A Stroll Around a Country Estate

Grounds and rivers neat but wild;  beautifully free from confinement. The desire to stop and look; to be absorbed in spectacular, seemingly unique vistas; giant trees; hundreds of years old,  their branches look upwards towards the heavens.  On looking up in awe: imagination takes us wandering through their giant branches. Many thoughts cross the mind. What did they witness two hundred or three hundred years ago?

Gardens neat as if painted by an artist seeking spontaneous inspiration. Long grass and tall flowers present themselves in summer glory.

Was such beauty created for humankind? Do people pass by such dramatic scenery without a second thought?

To stop and stare at Nature’s magnificence;  her ability to create an infinity of sensuality and uniqueness; colors, shapes, sizes.

Intricate petals; inner flowers awaiting honey bees, to gather pollen……for honey……for a humanity that may just pass them by.

Observe, be carried away with scenes that wrap around senses, opening a curtain at every turning.

Bumblebees literally loaded with visible pollen until their legs are coated with future honey. What type of natural radar do they possess to fly back to a hive that could be far away?

Walking, absorbing myriad scenes that leave an onlooker stunned by the harmony afforded senses that feed upon such dramatic and at the same time, gentle beauty.

What one person sees others will interpret differently. We all view the same flower, but some will focus on the centre, others on outward petals, others a general appreciation covering a wider area.  Others will be transported to another world of infinite beauty, scent, and colors that only liberated imagination can release.

Most are in awe of the expanse, the sheer visual wealth.

To sit, to gaze; letting the mind wander, listening to birdsong under a tree in the shade.  A river, flowing waters, its banks adorned by enormous weeping willows gracing the scene, and a small bridge leading to the other side. Another side? A parallel universe? A totally different spectacle. Really wild;  pathways on either side, leading on as if to infinity. People walking, gazing in wonder.
