Upcoming Events
Living a life of Purpose - A Transformative Talk with Nita Major
NOVEMBER 13
6:30 - 8:30PM
1120 YONGE STREET, TORONTO
In this transformative talk, we’ll explore how to navigate the transitions that shake our sense of purpose—whether they’re personal, professional, or life stages like becoming an empty nester. Often, we mistakenly equate purpose with career success or grand accomplishments, but true purpose is found in how we live each day, aligned with our values and goals. We'll dive into understanding these transitions, the stages of change, and how they impact our sense of direction. We’ll explore how to reframe your life from a pursuit of success to one of significance. Join us as we unravel what it means to live purposefully—no Meryl Streep "I've finally arrived" moment needed—just everyday intentional living that fosters happiness, aligns with your values, and leads to long-term well-being. Plus, we’ll touch on Unleash Travel's upcoming expedition to Sri Lanka, where we’ll do a deep dive into understanding purpose against the breathtaking backdrop of Sri Lanka’s vibrant culture and landscapes.
Doors Open at 6:30 p.m.
The talk begins promptly at 7:00 p.m.
