Chrysalis Christmas Party

Regardless of what 2026 as thrown at you, it is time to celebrate.

Many of our members and visitors work in isolation, so there is no ‘work party’.  The Chrysalis Christmas Party fills that gap.

Games, gifts and kai are the name of the game in this super fun final session of the year.
