π Serenbe 2026 Planning Party π
βοΈ SERENBE FRIENDS βοΈ Are you thinking about your big plans for 2026 already?
βAre you needing to get clarity on the year ahead?
βThis is a free, hands-on working session where weβll help you plan your 2026 β personal and work.
RSVP HERE: https://luma.com/4il02vv3
βπ‘ Who Are We?
βWe’re Demir and Carey Bentley. In our professional life we’re top productivity coaches and bestselling authors of “Winning The Week”.
We do this annual planning workshop every year for our clients, and it’s always a sold-out hit. We thought it would be fun to run it LIVE for our Serenbe peeps β at no cost.
βWhy free? Because in Serenbe we donβt just live near each other β we support each other. And what could be better than helping local folks thrive in 2026?
(But we could use your help to make it unforgettable… see more on that below)
βWhatβs this event all about?
βIt’s a fun, energizing planning party where folks will:
βReflect on the wins + lessons of 2025
βSet aligned goals for 2026 (personal, family, career)
βMap out the year ahead on their real calendar
βSpot bottlenecks before they become problems
βAndβyesβactually enjoy planning together
β(With snacks, laughs, and community magic.)
βThink: βLetβs set up our life so next year feels spacious, connected, and intentional.β
βπ§ What to Expect
βThis is a working session, not a lecture. Weβll guide you through each step, then youβll work individually for short sprints, so you actually get the planning done.
βThe room will be focused, and warm. Think:
co-working + retreat energy + community gathering.
βAny age welcome, though best suited for working adults or busy retirees. No kids β weβll all need to focus.
βNo one will be asked to share anything publicly.
Couples are welcome, but expect to work individually and compare notes afterward.
βBathrooms on site; We will take a bathroom/snack break between sessions.
βπ« Capacity
βGainey Hall has 100 chairs. RSVPs may be oversold, so seating is first-come, first-served. Please arrive early if this is important to you.
βπ€ Your Contributions Are Wanted and Welcomed!
βThis is a community-organized event. Carey and I are covering the cost of the venue, but we could use your help to make it an unforgettable experience.
Here are some easy ways to contribute:
βArrive at 8:30am to help set up
βPotluck Snacks and Drinks: Bring a snack, finger food, or pre-made cocktail. People will get hungry and thirsty!
βBring a bottle of bubbly
βBring an extra extension cord and/or power strip (preferably long) – for yourself and to share with others.
βGo ahead, show your Serenbe Spirit and bring something that adds to the vibe β everything helps!

βπ» What to Bring
βThis will be a digital-first workshop. That means no printed materials. All materials (PDF + AI prompts) will be emailed to RSVPs a few days ahead of time. So if you want to work with paper and pen, you’ll have to print out the materials and bring them yourself.

βCome caffeinated (Coffee not provided)
βEmergency snack bar (thinking makes you hungry!)
βNo phones or tablets please β they wonβt work for this format.
βCan I Use AI?
βI’ll be sending out AI prompts ahead of time, but we wonβt troubleshoot tech issues or AI during the workshop β so the prompts are for AI-literate users only.
βπ After-Party
βWeβre ending with a short toast and a light, celebratory hangout.
Stay and mingle if you want β no pressure.
ββ¨ Letβs Go Serenbe!
βA great plan for the year is one of the most powerful things you can give yourself β and it’s a great way to relax before the holidays hit.
βCanβt wait to plan alongside you!
