About this Event

What is Disaster CLASS?

Disaster CLASS is an experience designed around three ways we encounter disaster — and how these moments, though painful, can also lead to connection, reflection, and transformation.

  1. The disasters we create — the failures and breakdowns we own, revealing character, values, and growth.
  2. The disasters that conscript us — the experiences we never choose, like illness, loss, or upheaval, that reshape who we are.
  3. The disasters that compel us to respond — the societal disasters around us that call for responsibility, action, and engagement.

Disasters are crushing and consequential. They hurt. They leave marks. And yet, if we allow them, they can also be connective, cathartic, and catalytic — telling the truth and moving us toward transformation.

Join us for a great night of pizza, drinks, community, and the chance to be part of something meaningful from the very beginning. As our speakers share their own disasters and how they turned them into something meaningful, honest, and deeply human.

Come out, listen close, and be part of the conversation.
