About the January Series

Life is about constant discovery. Never staying static in your understanding. Always looking for new sources of insight and inspiration. And that’s why the January Series was created.

Any Mind is Welcome

For nearly 40 years, people have been showing up from all walks of life, ready to be challenged, enlightened, and connected to something far beyond themselves. In the spirit of creating a world-class event, we welcome a brilliantly diverse group of speakers who cover the topics relevant to our time.

Motivated to Make an Impact

By promoting education, civic engagement, and open inquiry, we’re growing a community of lifelong learners who don’t want to be passive observers but active participants in creating a better, more inspired, more inclusive world. If you, like us, you crave perspectives that challenge and change your thinking, insights from charismatic speakers from around the world, and a community of people becoming better global citizens, the January Series was made for you.
