Throughout the conversations what emerged was a shared truth. Reinvention isn’t a singular event or decision, but a daily practice. One guest reflected. “I’m a student of reinvention, I’m shedding a lot right now. But it feels right.”

Others spoke of aging into clarity. Another guest described the freedom that followed difficulty. “Success is not my job, My purpose comes through my job, not from it.”

Curiosity surfaced less as ambition and more as expansion. Some wanted to learn French again. One guest is shaping decades of journals into a book she’s dreamt of writing since she was 14. Another shared her desire for simplicity: “I don’t want more stuff – I want more time.” 

With all guests looking to what’s next in 2026 and beyond, there was an agreement that there is more and more learning to be done. And community, the right room, and the right conversation reminds us we’re not doing it alone.

And special thanks to our partners: The Culinistas, Avaline Wines, and Urban Stems.
