VIRTUAL
The Art of Being Seen: Gracenotes for a More Connected + Purposeful Life
Wednesday, October 1, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PST
What to Expect
What if one simple message could change the course of someone's day - or even their life?
Andrea Driessen, TED speaker and creator of the global Gracenotes movement, believes it can. Andrea has built a mission—and a deeply moving TED Talk with over 2 million views—on this very idea.
In a time when so many of us feel unseen, unheard, or undervalued, Gracenotes offer a meaningful way to reconnect—with ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. These living eulogies are expressions of appreciation shared now, while we can still celebrate and honor each other in real time.
Join us for a transformative conversation with Andrea as she shares what sparked this movement, why telling people they matter shouldn’t have to wait, and how we can all bring more meaning, connection, and purpose into our everyday lives.
You’ll leave feeling inspired, grounded, and empowered—with tangible ways to create your own Gracenotes and uplift those around you. Because sometimes, all it takes is just one person.
