May human beings find
Common ground
in the heartache
of love
that death brings.
May streams of tears
Flow into
the width of
a roaring river,
the rocky cliffs, muddied banks,
soft lily pads
in a still lake of
heart-centeredness
with those we now see
Through wet eyes,
a world of trees,
chilling harsh winds, drifts of snow,
brilliant stars in a
night sky,
Promises of bright, colorful
Flowers, bees,
Warm sunshine.
To weep, and
Meet one another
in the grieflove place.
May heaving hearts
Reach an
Expansiveness,
A capacity to
Awaken
In unity
Grace
Humbled,
Inspired to
Live another
Sacred day of
Delicious life.

BE PART OF THE LEGACY
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.
