A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

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.

Beyond Aging Gracefully with DeAnne Gauya

This week’s theme: Beyond Aging Gracefully

Beyond aging gracefully is about more than just looking youthful—it’s about embracing a holistic approach to aging that nurtures all aspects of our well-being. This includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, allowing us to experience life at our fullest, no matter our age. For those in the 65-85 age range, focusing on these elements can lead to profound transformations. With the power of neuroplasticity and the body’s ability to continuously evolve, it’s never too late to improve health, build strength, and tap into new possibilities. Aging isn’t a limitation; it’s an opportunity to grow and thrive.

When we prioritize health and fitness as we age, we set the foundation for a vibrant, fulfilling future. It’s easy to focus on external markers of aging, but true vitality comes from within. By staying active, cultivating a positive mindset, and nurturing emotional resilience, we unlock a world of adventure and freedom. Aging is a journey, and with the right approach, it can be one filled with purpose, energy, and endless potential—proving that grace comes from living fully, no matter the stage of life.
