Timeline of the Day:

9 - 10am | Coffee, Conversation and Coworking: Take your time settling in and taking care of anything you need to start your day! Whether it's catching up on emails, fitting in your meditation practice, or more, this is the perfect time to get ready for your day at ALTAR.

10 - 10:30am | Welcome & Opening Circle: Meet our team and your fellow attendees in this casual opening circle where you can set your intentions for the day.

10:30 - 11:45am | The Right to Belong with Dorothy Rosen: This interactive presentation will help you shift your networking narrative from "How do I fit in?" to "I have an inherent right to be here." You can change the entire energy of a room for YOU and move from traditional networking transaction performance to real connection.

11:45am - 12pm | The Moment Before the Camera with Meka Hemmons of SpiderMeka Portraits: Before stepping in front of the camera, there’s a moment that matters most--where you decide how you’re going to show up. Feel genuinely confident for your photo session or anytime you're in front of a camera.

12pm - 2pm | Optional Private Portrait Sessions with SpiderMeka (15 mins each): Book a private 15-minute portrait session. One professionally edited final digital image emailed. Early bird pricing: $100 through May 8. $150 after. to reserve your spot.

12:30 - 1:30pm | Community Lunch with Food by Fare: Enjoy nourishing conversation over a delicious lunch! Select the RSVP with Lunch Included ticket on our website ( https://www.altarcommunity.com/event-details/open-house-altar-community ) to enjoy lunch prepared by Food by Fare. Attendees are also welcome to bring your own lunch to eat with the group.

2 - 3pm | The Practice of Generous Networking with Kate Alpert: This interactive workshop trades the pressure of "selling" for a purposeful game plan rooted in expansive generosity. Through intentional goal-setting and a guided referral session, you’ll anchor your authority as a well-resourced leader who creates belonging through the simple act of giving.

3:30 - 4:30pm | Write Yourself Whole with Cin Salach: You belong to yourself first. Writing helps us remember that. Join us for a meditative yet energizing hour of writing and ritual that helps us fall in love with our beautiful, brilliant selves.
