LIVE PRESENTATIONS, Q&A SESSIONS AND GROUP CONVERSATION

DAILY RECORDINGS

The event is professionally filmed and shared online with thousands of people within my community and social media platforms.

My marketing team shares each presentation on my platforms and creates short videos with the best moments to distribute online.

In addition to that, everyone receives a copy of the video recording of their presentation to share freely.

By signing up for this event, you give me, Valeria Koopman, permission to film and share your image, your speech, and any other content presented by you during the two recorded days. 

** Please indicate if you prefer not to be filmed.   

OCEAN PRESENCE

To complement our experience, we have deep support from nature through the beautiful, clear, and calm ocean of Tampa Bay!

The Hillsborough River empties into Tampa Bay, which is the largest open-water estuary in Florida. An estuary is a partially enclosed body of water where fresh water from rivers and streams flows into the ocean. Tampa Bay's beaches are a treasure trove of natural beauty.

Water to me represents mystery, depth, and resolution. I feel that the deeper we go within; the more clarity and peace we experience.

NUTRITIOUS FOOD 

Part of feeling connected is how we treat and feed our bodies. A series of nutritious, nourishing, and mostly organic meals complement the experience.  My cooking team sources all the produce from local and organic farms to create fresh, healthy meals for the duration of our three-day event. 

We serve three nutritious and wholesome meals a day: continental breakfast, buffet-style brunch, and dinner. 

** No alcoholic beverages are served — There will be water, fresh orange juice, tea, coffee, and kombucha drinks **

Threads of Life

Human connection is like a cosmic quilt,
Stitched with threads of love and hope and guilt,
Each thread a story, each stitch a bond,
Creating a tapestry that’s truly beyond.
Nature, living beings, the universe,
All create their connections diverse,
Interwoven strands of life and light,
A symphony of beauty that’s always in sight.
Some threads are bright, some threads are dark,
But all have a place in this quilted ark,
For each thread adds texture and depth to the weave,
Creating patterns that are meant to relieve.
So let us cherish these threads of connection,
And weave them with care and intention,
For in this cosmic quilt we find,
The beauty and wonder of all humankind.
May we learn to see the magic in each thread,
And honor the stories that need to be said,
For it is through the connection that we thrive,
And create a world where love can truly survive.
Let us celebrate the threads that bind us together,
And create a quilt that will last forever.

Just like a quilt, our connections with others can keep us warm on cold nights and bring us comfort in times of need.

Let’s weave our tapestry of love, peace, and beauty!
