What a year we have had. How do we stay focused and hopeful when every time we open our emails or check our social media there is something else that demands our attention.

This year as we gathered around selecting a theme, we opened and embraced ourselves to the season we’re in. We are entering a powerful moment of reflection across cultures and traditions.
