THE VENUE
The HÜG Place is a former Jewish Temple. With its iconic basilica dome, HÜG has been transformed into a dynamic cultural hub where community, creativity, and culture converge.
Celebrate, we will.
…while exploring the existential question: Midlife crisis— or, midlife awakening? I attended my friend Laurie’s incredible 50th party last Fall.
In her thank you toast, Laurie raised a great question: “Why should we wait until it’s over to celebrate life?”
I want to celebrate the midpoint. And of course, I want to celebrate LIFE! But not just mine. Each and every one of the lives I LOVE. Who, by your presence, friendship, and lessons, have made me— ME. 💗

FAQ
Other than THE party of the year on September 5th, Akron is full of plenty of post-industrial hipster charm.
There is one of the largest, and most well-traveled park systems here. Plenty of green space, walking, hiking, and biking trails. Close to the (excellent) Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.
The Saturday following morning September 6th (10A-1P) we are also hosting a brunch and lake day in Medina, OH.
This is where Kris’s Mom lives. There will be yoga, outdoor activities for kids and adults, music, and fun in the sun.
