The Paris Chapter: 18 - 24 Dec
Live journalism, masked theatre, a piano light show, immersive winter solstice ceremony, American happy hour, how cities shape people and more.
It was lovely to meet so many of you last week! Next up is a special deep connection dinner taking place on Tues, 16 Jan - save the date.
A favourite quote, to see us out for the year:
“If you want to understand the present, look at the past, for that is the cause of the present. If you want to know your future, look at the present, for that is the cause of the future.” ~ Zen saying
And that’s a wrap, folks! The Paris Chapter will be back in Jan. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Cheers,
Jenni
