“Achieving the Impossible: Laughter, Connection, and the Power of Perception”
Join us for a one-of-a-kind experience as mentalist and communication expert Christopher Carter blends mind-reading, humor, and powerful insight into how we connect with each other.

You'll even get to play “human lie detector” with your fellow Goldtimers! Perfect for a group that values fun, connection, and meaningful moments, this program will leave you entertained, inspired, and talking about it long after the event ends.
This will be an IN-PERSON event, LIVESTREAMED for remote participants and RECORDED for later viewing.
