THEME FOR 2021 Theme: Freedom and Responsibility “Freedom gets confused with liberty (which means we are not oppressed). Freedom is not doing your own thing, but just the opposite. It means we are the authors of our own experience. It means we are accountable for the wellbeing of all that is around us. It means we believe that we are constituting, or creating, the world in which we live”-  Peter Block
