2024 Updates

Written By Tong Wang

Hello again, dear friends.

As always, lots to be grateful for.

2023 has taken us from Paris, Basel, Den Haag, Arlesheim, to Vienna, Budapest, Pesaro (Europe tour), back to Airdrie, Jasper (WMF Mini), across Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, New York, Providence, Washington DC, Apex (DP “Da Capo” tour), to Lunenburg (LAMP residency), to Seattle, to Bodrum, Ankara, Sivas, Trabzon (Turkey tour), to Rhodes, Athens, back to Airdrie (WMF 23), back to Montreal, Ottawa, Red Deer (RDSO), then to Houston, Apex, and finally … ending here once again at home, Airdrie.

It’s been a beautiful ride. It’s been honest to my truth, my word of the year: trust. I have trusted in the rhythm of each moment. I have remembered, practiced, and repeated: values, joys, mantras. I have been silly. I have taken care. I have committed.

To each and all of you who have been a part of this journey, thank you dearly.

Happy holidays and warmest wishes to everyone for another year of magic, rolling with the weird twist and turns.

xoxo,
