Hello CreativeMornings Community!

As we step into the fresh energy of February, I want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the fantastic speakers we had in January - Stephanie Wittels Wachs and Megan Cassamas. Their insights and stories were truly inspiring and brought a unique perspective to our community. The energy and meaning was palpable. As host, CreativeMornings (after 5 sessions) has begun to feel like a true third place. Greeting friends every month, the energy before we start, the first taste of coffee at Wave Street … It’s just goodness.

Moving on to February, we are thrilled to introduce Kate Kondratieva. Kate’s journey from Ukraine to Carmel is a story of geographical transition and immense personal and professional evolution. You can learn more about her talk here.

We are immensely grateful to Wave Street Studios for their continuous support. Their contribution to making these events possible is invaluable. Do check them out here.

A special thanks goes to Sean Perlmutter, a warm and wonderful MRY regular, who has been working with Kate in preparation for her talk. His volunteer spirit is truly appreciated.

This February, our theme is “Native.” We are excited to hear from Kate, a native of Ukraine, as she shares her incredible journey and experiences. In line with this theme, we also plan to recognize and honor the native community of the Monterey Peninsula in meaningful and respectful ways.

Join us for what promises to be another unforgettable session. Don’t forget to register for the event here. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Danny
