AHA. Third Act Stories – Live Storytelling Event Debut
You’ll be in the audience for this unforgettable debut of “AHA,” a captivating evening of live storytelling that will inspire and uplift you. Ten remarkable women will take the stage, sharing their pivotal “AHA” moments—those life-changing realizations that guided them to lives of true purpose and passion. Each story brims with curiosity, resilience, and the courage to follow their heart’s calling and embrace bold new chapters. Be part of this powerful night of connection, where their stories spark your own journey to rediscover and redefine your path — your third act!
Transformative Full-Day Workshops
At QUEST 2026, you’ll choose one of five unique full-day workshops to dive into the heart of your story, sparking meaning, healing, and fresh perspectives. By reflecting on your life’s journey and sharing your stories creatively, you’ll build deep connections with others, inspiring and uplifting those who hear your voice or see what you create.
Explore your personal narrative through immersive experiences like writing, video storytelling, guided future-visioning, or making art, each designed to unlock your creativity and empower your story. Step into this transformative day and unleash the story only you can tell!
QUEST Anthem Co-Creation
We’ll close the first day of QUEST 2026 with a joyful, collaborative experience as you and your table-mates craft a verse to create our shared QUEST Anthem. This is your moment to unleash your inner singer/songwriter, adding a creative spark to your third act journey.
Together, you’ll weave words and ideas into a powerful anthem that captures the spirit of connection and our third act quests. On the last day of our gathering, we’ll come together to sing the anthem, bringing our collective story to life. Listen to last year’s inspiring QUEST Anthems playlist, the “anthem” songs added by 333 Collective members,
Story Bench Dedication
Before we depart, we’ll gather to dedicate a “story bench” donated to the city of Santa Fe as a permanent tribute to our transformative AHA storytelling event. This beautiful bench, a lasting spot for people to sit and share their stories with friends or strangers, will feature a heartfelt plaque inviting connection and community. Be part of a cherished QUEST 2026 moment as we gather for a group photo and celebrate the power of story.
Unique Cultural & Historical Experiences
Immerse yourself in the rich cultural and historical tapestry of Santa Fe, hosted at the iconic La Fonda on the Plaza. With a legacy dating back to 1607, La Fonda sits on the site of the city’s first inn, weaving together 400 years of history as a cornerstone of the Santa Fe Trail and a former Harvey House. This historic venue, adorned with museum-quality Native American and Southwestern art, offers a vibrant backdrop for your experience.
Quest 2026 experiences will include a special presentation by a Native American storyteller, sharing the profound power of narrative in their culture, alongside captivating music, dancing and art from the Native American community.
These experiences, paired with Santa Fe’s unique blend of Native American, Spanish, and Anglo influences, promise to inspire and connect you to the heart of this historic city.
