We are back for a live event with seating for only 100. The 2023 theme is POLARITY. POLARITY deserves to come back! Oxford Dictionary defines polarity as being ‘the state of having two opposite or contradictory tendencies, opinions, or aspects.” Things that appear as opposites are in fact only two extremes of the same thing.

We are back for a live event. The 2023 theme is POLARITY. We are revisiting it due to COVID forcing a theme change. POLARITY deserves to come back! Oxford Dictionary defines polarity as being ‘the state of having two opposite or contradictory tendencies, opinions, or aspects.” Things that appear as opposites are in fact only two extremes of the same thing. As one of the 7 Universal Laws, the Law of Polarity decrees everything in the universe has two sides. In fact, only two extremes of the same thing are simply varying degrees of the same thing. One steps into power through perception—to see both sides of a person, situation or circumstance. Negative or positive, hot or cold, love or hate, polarity is determined by how one chooses to think – choices, not situations or circumstances, will create the desired outcome.
