Introduction
The Rebirth Celebration marked the grand finale of the Rising Together series, a transformative evening that invited us to reflect on a year of growth, challenges, and profound change. Held at Lumonics, this event beautifully embodied the Scorpio journey—moving through the shadow as the Scorpion, soaring above as the Eagle, and ultimately transforming into the Phoenix.
The evening was thoughtfully curated by Kristin, supported by Kimberly at the Eagle station, Ethan at the Scorpion station with his reiki-infused catering, and Barry and Mark’s mesmerizing sound and light experience. Together, they created a magical space where guests could connect, reflect on their own journeys, and rise together in unity.
A Celebration of Rebirth
This evening was more than a gathering—it was a shared moment of renewal, growth, and collective empowerment. Guided activities, such as the Yarn Game, symbolized the interconnectedness that binds us as a community and highlighted the importance of mutual support.
The playlist, carefully crafted by Kristin, featured many of her favorite tracks—songs chosen for their profound ability to inspire reflection and healing. You can listen to the Rebirth Celebration playlist on Spotify here.
Above all, what made this night so special was the incredible energy and contributions of our guests. Each person brought a unique perspective, openness, and willingness to embrace the theme of rebirth, creating a vibrant and supportive atmosphere. Your presence and engagement turned this event into something truly extraordinary.
Giving Back
The event carried a spirit of gratitude and generosity, with proceeds benefiting Lumonics, an organization dedicated to healing through immersive art and sound. Witnessing the community’s collective support for this mission was deeply moving, ensuring Lumonics’ impactful work continues to touch lives. If you feel moved, Lumonics is always grateful for donations and for you to help spread the word about their venue. They offer private events and also host a mini version of the immersive experience we enjoyed every Saturday. I encourage you to join me in supporting this amazing team and their beautiful vision.
A Culmination of Rising Together
This evening was not only a celebration of Kristin’s birthday and personal rebirth but also a culmination of the Rising Together series. It served as a powerful reminder of the strength found in unity and conscious collaboration. The event left everyone inspired to continue rising—individually and collectively.

Moving Forward
As we move into what’s next, I am deeply reflective on the profound insights gained—not just in how each of you show up for one another, but in how I’ve chosen to show up for myself. This closing chapter represents more than just the end of a year; for me, it marks the farewell to my “old, ill self” and the stories that no longer serve me.
In this sacred space of transition, I hold a reverence for honoring our shared memories in a way that is healthy and affirming, while also allowing the old to rest in the ashes. From those ashes, the wings of our Phoenix emerge, reminding us that who we choose to be today is what truly matters.
As we step forward, let’s ask ourselves: How do we want our story to unfold? How will we choose to shape the movie of our lives? Each moment is an invitation to rise anew. Let’s embrace it, together.
