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.

The Journey

There is a journey
of the heart
that calls to those
who are seeking
something
more

Beyond the well-traveled
roads of repeated platitudes and long-held beliefs
there awaits a plentitude
of new ideas yearning
to be explored

Out there somewhere
in the realms of what we
don’t even know we don’t know
lies a vast
vista of possibilities
open to discovery

True seekers sometimes
stumble upon it
other times ferret it out
at the very edges of old
familiar trails of thought
where chattering at last

gives way to meaningful
and masterful dialogue
true and essential
conversations of the heart
accompanied by fully
engaged and enrapt minds

A community of mindful
peers peering over the edges
of outworn wordy patterns
and into the fiery core\
of what it means to be
fully present and alive
to one another

Listening and speaking
with great reverence
we hear one other into wholeness
and together we envision
something
more

CONVERSATIONS

  1. What a wonderful and meaningful poem, Minx Boren – thank you for sharing;

    “There is a journey of the heart that calls to those who are seeking something more”

    It is so fulfilling to realize that the relation between one heart and another heart is called “Love”, and the relation between heart and heartbeat is called “Friendship”.

    I also believe that Friendship is the ‘smaller’ form of love, while Love is the ‘larger’ form of friendship.

    True Love is when both love and friendship are equal.

    Both love and friendship can exist, but not without each other.

    I also believe that True Friendship is the single most beautiful thing in life.

    Rumi – “There is a window from one heart to another heart.”
