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.

The Caged Me and The Light.

Until one day, a tiny flicker of Light surpassed into my mind and it penetrated under all the dust and dirt and finally found his way straight into my eyes

It aches me like hell

I tried, but I wasn’t able to open my eyes

Years of darkness made me vulnerable to Light

I squinted and struggled to open up my eyes to this new Light

It reached inside my mind again and again trying to wake me up

Each time the Light gets more and more brighter

Until it reached near me, but the dirty rusty bars of the cage never let the Light to touch me

But I was astonished to see that when the Light touched the bars of the cage all the dirt, dust, and rust have gone like “poof” as in magic and the bars have turned into golden dust and disappeared before my eyes

The Light moved closer to me then I saw it

Two shining beautiful wings were in the hands of the Light

The Light gave me those wings and it attached to my body like it was made for me

Then the Light took my hand and get me out where I can see only light where my eyes can reach and it was filled with everything I lost. My Sun, my Moon, my Orion, my stars, my colors, my stories, my music everything was there

The sight pained my eyes and it started welling up

My knees felt weak and I fall

I couldn’t control my tears

I covered my face in my palms.

At that moment the Light came close to me, wiped my tears, and whispered in my ears

“Enjoy the freedom that your heart has always dreamed.

Enjoy creativity until now hidden, but desiring release.

Enjoy renewed confidence

That was always there but confined awaiting emancipation.

Enjoy the expansion of your creative prowess.

Enjoy the excitement and energy of a long-time, secret talent.

Enjoy a new perspective on life’s wonders.

Enjoy sharing your joy.

Enjoy Life.”

My tears started flowing continuously for hours until my heart felt better

The Light showed my way and asked me to spread my wings and fly to the horizon

I was afraid. I looked into the eyes of the Light

The Light smiled at me and gave a nod to me

My heart was beating fast. I try to spread my wings and tried to fly

But I fall. I looked at The Light. He encouraged me to do it again. After many attempts I made it

I fly. The air filled my chest. The wind blows into my eyes. My eyes got welled up. Everything got blurred.

I turned back to see the Light, but my blurry eyes didn’t let me see him

I flew down before him and looked into his eyes.

I bend down and touched his feet for his blessing

He blessed me and smiled at me

I turned and spread my wings and fly. I turned back to see the Light again, but couldn’t see him

But I can feel he is watching me and smiling at me

Thank you my Light for finding me and freeing me out of my cage

If you weren’t there, I will never be free

I will be long lost and forgotten by me forever.

I will be grateful for you.

Thank you so much.
