Permission to Celebrate is an immersive exhibition that creates a harmonious space where work and humanness can coexist with unapologetic self-celebration.

It fosters abundance and empowerment by challenging societal norms of productivity and perfection while encouraging participants to pause, appreciate the present, and explore the intersection of daily life, personal growth, and creativity.

INTERACTIVE FEATURES

  • Permission Slips Installation: Contribute to a collective tapestry of self-affirmation, reminders and notes of permission to do things differently.
  • Celebrate Yourself Experience: Pull a prompt card from the Celebrate Yourself Card Deck to celebrate yourself in a whole new way and document your celebration for our collective film.
  • Hypnosis Lounge: Take a break in the Hypnosis Lounge to listen to a hypnosis audio created to provoke more opportunities for self-celebration.

Our hope is that this exhibition empowers individuals to give themselves the permission to find time and space to unlock their potential, redefine intentional living, and find joy in the present moment amongst community and shared purpose.
