Fall 2025 Reimagine Collaborator Gathering

This gathering is intended for all Reimagine collaborators who have already created an account with us. We warmly welcome new and longtime event hosts, resource providers, and blogger. We appreciate your generosity and capacity to support those facing loss, adversity, mortality, and your invitation to others to sit with grief AND to recognize transformational opportunities for growth. 

This virtual meet and greet will include the following:

• an opportunity to learn about plans for late fall and next year
• a sneak preview of the Growth Journey Platform from Deb Gardner, Head of Partnerships and Growth
• A mindfulness practice led by guest teacher Michelle Cassandra Johnson,  author, activist, healer, and beekeeper

Michelle will guide us in a contemplative practice inspired by honeybees 🐝. Her new book The Wisdom of the Hive explores how the practice of beekeeping helped her to realize that the key question isn’t “How can we save the bees?”, but rather “How can the bees save us?”  By seeing these pollinators as our teachers, Michelle suggests that we can improve relationships to ourselves, each other, and the world at large. In times marked by grief, chaos and uncertainty, bees offer a powerful example of fostering connection, turning toward pain and fear, committing to better conditions for all beings to survive, and building a sweeter future where all can thrive.

This fall, Reimagine is hosting a three-part series (October-December 2025) featuring Michelle and other guests. And alongside that series we’d like to amplify YOUR events, resources, and blog posts that relate to the following themes:

Life challenges such as:

• Collective Traumas and Events
• Loss and Bereavement
• Ecological Grief
• Loneliness

Growth pathways such as:

• Health and Well-Being
• Nature
• Spirituality and Religion

If you choose to self-produce and host your own events, we’ll support you by providing a bespoke suite of four graphics in different formats to use on our website, e-news and social media, and your communications. These graphics will include a photo of yourself, your (optional) logo, your event title and date, and feature the standardized design we’re using for The Wisdom of the Hive series. We’ll promote your events in our bi-weekly e-news and in social media posts. After you submit content to the portal, please fill out this form so that we can easily collect your assets to produce the graphics.

And everyone in the Reimagine community receives a discount on Michelle’s book using the code LetsReimagine20 on Bookshop.org.
