It’s almost time for our annual October Planning Meeting! Every year, the WOW members surprise us with the creative, inspiring, and inviting topics brought to the table. Now it’s time to start dreaming up what we’ll dive into for the upcoming year.

When you picture a WOW meeting—one you’d be genuinely thrilled to lead—what topic are you dying to share with us?
To get your gears turning, here are a few broad areas to spark ideas:

• Spiritual growth and inner peace
• Health, wellness, and aging well
• Creativity and the arts
• Friendship, relationships, and community
• Travel, culture, and adventure
• Purpose, service, and giving back
• Personal growth and self-discovery
• Practical life wisdom
• Books, ideas, and lifelong learning
• Family stories, ancestry, and legacy
• Nature and the environment
• Grief, resilience, and healing
• Technology and navigating a changing world

Present Your Way!
Remember, you don’t have to stand at the front of the room with a slide deck (unless you want to!). Choose a facilitation style that feels comfortable for you and fits your topic:

• Storytelling
• A facilitated panel
• A facilitated group conversation
• An interview of selected members
• Facilitated partner conversations
• A demonstration, activity, or discussion
• Creative demonstration followed by time to just create
• Full presentation shared by one or two WOW members

Details to Start Thinking About:

• What month would suit your topic best?
• Who will you collaborate with if you want a co-host?
• What format will bring your idea to life?
• When would you be willing to provide light hospitality?

Bring your most engaging ideas to our October session. Let’s make next year our best lineup yet!
