September 16, 2026
Come witness powerful stories of people transforming pain into purpose, grief into growth, and life’s challenges into creativity. This is not about numbing the hard parts of life, but about engaging them and seeing what becomes possible. Discover what can grow when you reimagine your own journey.
Come witness powerful stories of people transforming pain into connection, meaning, and growth, and life's hardest moments into creativity. This isn't about numbing the grief, it's about engaging with it fully and seeing what becomes possible. Discover what can grow when you reimagine your own journey.
At this event, participants from Reimagine's Turning Pain & Grief into Growth program will share the Reimagine Project they created through their own healing and growth journey. A Reimagine Project is a personal project inspired by a significant challenge or transition, built one small, sweet step at a time. Some are big, some are small, all of them are meaningful. Projects can take almost any form, anything from digitizing old family footage into memory pieces to relearning to cook a loved one’s favorite meals to handpainting bookmarks.
What matters isn't the size or the outcome, it's what the process reveals along the way.
Over 10 weeks, each of tonight's speakers channeled one of life's hardest experiences into something entirely their own. What they did is deeply human, inspiring, and offers a real glimpse into a different way of responding to life's hardest moments.
Reimagine's Sr. Program Director Dara Kosberg will moderate the conversation.
