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.

It Takes A Village: How Can We All Help?

The issues and opportunities we as the human race are now facing are unprecedented.

The issues many are already busy facing. Healthcare professionals are caring for the sick and dying. Service personnel are maintaining safety and keeping our supply chains open. Scientists are working on a vaccine. Companies are manufacturing needed medical supplies. People are checking on their neighbors. Many are participating in meditations to raise the vibration of our world.

The opportunities await. Many people are seeing this as a cosmic reset and are happily awaiting a brand, shiny new world.

While I agree we have opportunities now to work together towards a world that works for all, it is not going to happen without conscious commitment and agreement from governments, corporations, and billions of people.

I find myself spending the majority of my time vacillating between feeling overwhelmed by the magnitude of the issues and surrendering to receiving guidance on how I can help. What organizations can I join? What alignments can I create? Where can I use my expertise and the resources of Sacred Stories to affect the highest positive change?

I ask all of us to do the same. Ask yourself how do your beautiful and powerful set of skills and connections contribute to creating the new world we all agree is needed. What conscious commitment can you make? What connections and alignments can you create?

If it ever took a village… now is the time.

3 CONVERSATIONS

  1. Thank you for the sincere post, Patricia. I believe overwhelmed is a good word, and I see that for many people it is about realizing how to take care of our closest ones. While social media is inclusive, it has also been distancing others – and now offers a possibility to re-establish relationships with family that may not have been that active or even known how to use digital means. And perhaps we should also make use of the traditional ways of learning and connecting, like postcards, letters, and books. One reason for having a great, thoughtful village like the Sacred Stories Media :).

  2. Patricia, I have the same questions how what connections and alignments we can build to spread positive change. I realized the best way is start from myself. Doing it a little every day, make the people around you feel it. By time, they will do the same thing to his circle. This is going to vibrate and accumulate aa far as the center of the vibration does not stop. We are the centers!
