Flowers & Affirmations for World Mental Health Day (Oct 10)
Entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, influencers, and mental health advocates, this afternoon is for you. Petals of Peace is a World Mental Health Day gathering designed to help high achievers pause, reflect, and prioritize wellbeing over constant productivity.

Together, we’ll explore the theme of “giving yourself your flowers” by recognizing your wins, filling your own cup, and creating space for both hardship and healing.

All proceeds benefit the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, which provides 24/7 support for individuals experiencing trauma, crisis, and emotional distress.
