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

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.

Happiness Teachings from the Dalai Golden Retriever

The past has passed. Time for another cookie.

Had a cookie. Time to run.

Eat. Play. Love.

What you think about me is none of my business.

What’s interpretation? Will it make my tail wag?

Have no beliefs—give you rigor mortis of your mind.

We always know love when we see it.

If you make my tail go between my legs, go away.

Favorite Yoga pose: Downward Facing Human

They call us a pet. Listen, humans. “Pet” is a verb.

We will never leave you. Even when you can no longer see us.

When you see our feet running in sleep, we are rescuing you.

There is nothing wrong with skin and “bones.”

We are always content.

Monks beg too.

No past. No fear. This moment is wondrous.

The best swim is in the water under the bridge.

We carry the stick, so you don’t have to. Remain open to receive.

Baths are better when you are in the tub.

Favorite Song: Another Day in Paradise

Favorite from The Beatles: “I am you and you are me and we are all together.”

We get along with everyone. No agendas.

We live in a state of appreciation.

A roll in the hay is sometimes all it takes.

All is well. Even if you can’t smell it just yet.

Not sure why the term dogma reflects on our species. We have none. We recommend you bury yours.

Life is what you do between meals.

Fetch happiness. It is the holy grail of life.

Dog is you know who spelled backwards.

Please spread the Dalai Golden Retriever’s words to everyone you love and everyone you don’t.
