2025 Culture Calendar

a new series dedicated to experiencing life

2024 was a wonderfully disorganized year – a whirlwind of growth, lessons, and unexpected joys. During my vision board session, I realized that while I accomplished a lot, I desperately needed more experiences. Stepping into 2025, I want to channel that momentum into a year focused on intentionality, creativity, and rediscovery (which, coincidentally, aligns hilariously with my 2025 horoscope. This realization inspired the creation of my Culture Calendar, a framework designed to fill my year with vibrant, meaningful cultural experiences.

C.C Framework

Think of it as a social calendar for all things culture– arts, food, film, and more. Each month I want to do/experience:

• Visit 2 art exhibits or galleries

• Experience 1 form of performance art or media (movies, ballet, etc.)

• Try 1 new restaurant

• Finish 1 book

• Read 2 magazine articles

This calendar is my way of making time for creativity, learning, and connection in 2025.
