The @saaforchange 2026 Summit felt like one giant hug. The stunning venue at the @pyramidclubphl filled with beautiful people from all walks of life united by the power of community and hope. The day began with a grounding sound bath and continued with workshops that ranged from deep and vulnerable to creative and playful. We spoke about social justice, generational trauma, family engagement, and forging new norms in mental health spaces. There were tears, laughter, dance, and ideas unraveling as the day went on. I even got to make a short film! By the end of the summit, we all felt a collective relief in knowing that there is a community that welcomes us as we are, and supports who we are becoming 🤎
