“I am passionate about seeing the magic thats right in front of me and inspiring others to see and feel it too. EXPAND is a storytelling event featuring individuals who find fulfillment from the inside out, wherever they are. How they came to find the little things that make them come alive and how they continue to expand their being from right here,. Mindful, aware, present, grateful. Never arriving, always expanding.” - Chelsea Bay
