News/Press Release

Tami Calais provides adult children with a compassionate roadmap for navigating the early signs of parental aging, offering practical tools to move from worry to clarity. By addressing the emotional weight of caregiving and the "how-to" of exploring support options, she helps families initiate confident, respectful conversations and identify realistic next steps with ease.

You’ve noticed changes in your aging parents. Nothing dramatic—yet—but something feels different. And with that comes questions, worry, and the quiet weight of “What do I do next?”

Discover the magic of folklore with "How the Turtle Got Its Shell," an interactive storytelling performance designed to captivate both children and adults. This session brings ancient traditions to life through voice and movement. Experience a tale that celebrates heritage and the art of oral tradition.

Show off your niche obsession! Create a slideshow on anything you love and present it at Slide Night. Share fan theories from your favorite show, a hyperfixation you can’t stop thinking about, or any topic you’re passionate about—serious or silly encouraged!
