Hello, December! We hope you all had a blast celebrating the recent holidays. But guess what? It’s not over yet...another one’s just around the corner! 😮‍💨 Are you ready?

It’s hard to believe we’re already in the final month of 2024, with 2025 just around the corner! Where does the time go? How does it fly by so fast? 😳

December is a powerful time—a chance to reflect on the journey we’ve taken, celebrate our progress, and prepare for a fresh start.

For our fellow business owners, this is the perfect moment to look back at our wins and challenges from the year. Let’s use those lessons to fine-tune our strategies and set the stage for exciting opportunities in 2025. It’s also a great time to let go of what no longer serves us and create space for growth and transformation.

Remember, success isn’t just about reaching a destination—it’s about appreciating every step along the way. As we wrap up 2024, let’s focus on moving forward with positivity and intention.

We’re asking ourselves two key questions to guide us through December:
❶ What are our goals for this final month?
❷ How are we setting ourselves up for an amazing 2025?

Tag someone who could use a little inspiration as we close out the year, and let’s make this December one to remember! ❄️

We’re so thankful for our loved ones, amazing clients, and online community. Grateful for nights that turned into mornings, friends that became family, and dreams that became reality! Wishing you a joyous, delicious, and memorable Thanksgiving Holiday. Enjoy! 🙏

11/26/2024

Did you know that 38% of people feel more stressed during the holidays (American Psychological Association)? If you’re feeling the holiday hustle, you’re not alone! But Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be overwhelming—let’s make it a season of gratitude, not stress. 💛

With one of America’s most popular holidays just two days away, here are our 5 simple tips to bring more calm and joy to your Thanksgiving celebrations—from delegating tasks to starting a new gratitude tradition.

❶ Set Realistic Expectations
Let go of the need for perfection. Focus on creating meaningful moments rather than obsessing over every detail being just right.

❷ Simplify the Menu
Stick to a few key dishes instead of preparing an elaborate spread. This not only saves time but also reduces stress in the kitchen.

❸ Delegate Tasks
Don’t try to do everything yourself! Ask family or friends to help with cooking, decorating, or setting the table. Sharing responsibilities can reduce your workload and make the holiday feel more collaborative.

❹ Say “No” When Needed
It’s okay to decline invitations or skip activities that feel overwhelming. Prioritize what’s most important to you and your loved ones.

❺ Practice Gratitude Together
Start a new tradition by having everyone share one thing they’re thankful for during the Thanksgiving meal. It’s a heartwarming way to connect and focus on the positive.

Thanksgiving is about connection, gratitude, and togetherness. With a little planning and self-care, you can focus on what truly matters and create a holiday that’s joyful and fulfilling.

Spend a few moments reflecting on the things you’re grateful for this year. Gratitude has been shown to reduce stress and improve well-being.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Pride Month is here. Let's stand together as allies and celebrate love, acceptance, and diversity. Discover how you can become a powerful ally...

🌈 EDUCATE
Expand your knowledge by reading books, articles, and watching documentaries about LGBTQ+ history, rights, and struggles. Understanding the experiences of the community will help you become a more informed ally.

🌈 AMPLIFY LGBTQ+ VOICES
Use your platform to uplift and amplify LGBTQ+ voices. Share their stories, art, and achievements on social media, and actively engage in conversations that promote inclusivity and equality.

🌈 SUPPORT LGBTQ+ BUSINESSES
Show your support by shopping at LGBTQ+-owned businesses, donating to organizations, or attending events. Your patronage and contributions can make a significant impact.

🌈 TAKE ACTION
It's time to be an active ally. Stand up against discrimination, challenge harmful stereotypes, and support policies that protect LGBTQ+ rights. Together, we can create a more inclusive and accepting world.

Together, we can create a world where everyone can be their authentic selves.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. As a veteran-owned business, this day holds profound significance for us, not just as a moment of reflection, but as a continuous reminder of courage, sacrifice, and the values we strive to uphold every day.

Today, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our fellow soldiers and their families, who have endured the unthinkable for the safety and freedom of others.

Ready to rave at EDC? 🎉 Make your EDC experience unforgettable and create amazing memories together! But PLEASE remember to stay safe, be responsible, and respect yourself and others.

❶ STAY INFORMED & CHARGE YOUR PHONE
Familiarize yourself with the festival layout, emergency exits, and medical tents. Download the festival app for updates and important information. Keep your phone charged and bring a portable charger.

❷ BUDDY SYSTEM
Stick with your friends and look out for each other. It’s easy to get separated in large crowds, so having a meetup point is a good idea. And always leave the show with everyone in your crew.

❸ STAY HYDRATED
Drink plenty of water throughout the event. Dehydration can sneak up on you, especially with all the dancing, excitement, alcohol, and “other stuff”.

❹ PROTECT YOUR SKIN & HEARING
Wear sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses. Even if it’s cloudy, you can still get sunburned. Bring earplugs to protect your ears from the loud music.

❺ DRESS COMFORTABLY & KNOW YOUR LIMITS
MWear comfortable shoes and clothing. EDC is a marathon, not a sprint, and you’ll want to be comfortable all day and night. Pace yourself and listen to your body. Take breaks when needed and avoid overindulging in alcohol or other substances.

❻ PLAN AHEAD, HAVE FUN & BE RESPECTFUL
Know your transportation options and have a plan for getting to and from the festival safely.
Enjoy the experience, respect those around you, and, of course, HAVE FUN!

Spread the love and share these tips to keep everyone safe this weekend! Together, we can ensure everyone has an amazing time while staying responsible and looking out for each other.

From the perfect venue space to personal desk space, the environment around us can significantly influence our productivity and creativity. Just as we tailor our venue to suit every occasion, desk setup can similarly reflect and affect work style. What does your desk say about you? Are you a chaotic creator, a streamlined achiever, or someone who brings a touch of home to work? Discover your desk vibe below:

❶ Creatively Cluttered Desk — Characterized by a mix of papers, pens, books, and art supplies. This setup suggests creativity and a brainstorming mind that thrives on a bit of chaos. It can indicate a multitasking, dynamic work style. However, too much clutter might appear disorganized. Balancing creativity with periodic tidying can enhance productivity without overwhelming.

❷ Minimalist Desk — Features minimal items: a laptop, a notebook, and a pen, with plenty of open space. This reflects a preference for efficiency and focus, ideal for those who dislike distractions and value organization. While minimalism often connotes professionalism and discipline, it might seem too stark or impersonal in more collaborative fields.

❸ Desk with Personal Touches — Includes personal items like family photos, plants, and motivational quotes, making the space inviting and comfortable. This desk type shows a blend of personal and professional life, indicating that the individual values a nurturing, inspiring work environment. However, an excess of personal items could potentially distract or appear less professional if not well-balanced.

We understand the importance of space in hosting memorable events, and we encourage you to redecorate your desk space so that it inspires your best work. Reflect on your current desk setup: What story is it telling, and what changes could make it even better suited to your style and needs?

Keeping your staff happy and motivated, and maintaining a supportive and fun company culture, increases your team's productivity. Before it gets too hot in our lovely desert, consider planning an outdoor company event. Or, you can always just host an engaging get-together in-office or at the Beacon Center if you need more amenities.

Need some fun event ideas to help boost your employee morale? Don't worry, we've got you covered! Our clients have hosted several company gatherings at our venue, and here are a few of the themes they've used:

❶ — Comfort Foods Potluck
Bring your team together with a "Comfort Foods" potluck. It’s a simple and cost-effective way to foster connections. This event isn't just about enjoying good food—it's a platform for your employees to share personal stories and cultural heritage through their culinary choices. This can lead to deeper understanding and connections within your team, and possibly uncover hidden talents that could benefit your business.

❷ — Game Night Extravaganza
Game nights can be a blast, whether held in-office or as a casual after-hours gathering. Transform a regular evening into an unforgettable game night at your office or at the Beacon Center. Organize a mix of games like board games, video games, and interactive group activities such as escape room challenges or puzzle-solving competitions. Spice it up by allowing teams to compete for small but meaningful rewards, such as an extra day off, gift cards, or special recognition. This brings fun into the workplace and sharpens teamwork and strategic thinking in a relaxed setting.

❸ — Inspirational Panel Discussion
Arrange a series of motivational talks by inviting guest speakers who are innovators and leaders in your industry. This panel discussion could cover topics like emerging trends, personal growth, or overcoming professional challenges. Provide an opportunity for your team to interact with these leaders through a Q&A session, enhancing their learning experience and potentially sparking new ideas for personal and professional development. Hosting this event at our venue adds a professional backdrop that can make the experience even more impactful and memorable.

❹ — DIY Workshop: From Vision to Creation
Encourage your team’s creativity with a hands-on DIY workshop where they can learn and create something tangible. Whether it’s a painting session, building miniature models, or even a beginner’s pottery class, these activities not only boost morale but also enhance fine motor skills and creative thinking. It’s a fun, interactive way to break the routine and see each other's creative sides in action.

❺ — Health and Wellness Day
Promote a healthy work-life balance by organizing a Health and Wellness Day at the Beacon Center. Offer activities like yoga sessions, meditation workshops, and nutrition talks to help your team manage stress and enhance wellbeing. Bringing in professionals for quick health checks or massage sessions can also add value, making your team feel cared for and rejuvenated.

The Beacon Center offers a versatile, no-frills space that’s ideal for getting your team out of the usual office environment. It provides the perfect backdrop for your next team-building event, all within your event budget.
