🎉 The Confetti Project: NYC Community Kickoff
The Confetti Project’s First-Ever Inner Circle Gathering!✨
We’re gathering for our very first NYC Community Kickoff Event — an evening designed to bring together joymakers, deep feelers, playful spirits, and community builders — who believe in the ripple effect of celebrating the beautiful mess of being human. This is more than an event — it’s the beginning of The Confetti Project’s Inner Circle, a community rooted in the TCP ethos: where joy isn’t a fleeting feeling, but a practice, a community, and a way of life. This gathering is a first-of-its-kind mashup of The Confetti Project’s most beloved offerings — blending elements from Confetti Photoshoots, Celebration Labs, and Community Circles into one immersive afternoon.
✨ What to Expect
A carefully curated experience that blends creativity, connection, and celebration:
🪩 A Mini-Celebration Lab
Our signature workshop format will explore The Celebration Method — a framework for transforming everyday moments in portals of joy — through movement, reflection, and community sharing.
📸 A confetti portrait
captured by Jelena, the founder and creator of The Confetti Project — for your personal celebration headshot that will be a forever memento of your joy state, celebrating YOU.
💕 A community circle
to connect and be witnessed with liked-hearted people in a warm, welcoming space filled with community that wants to make the world a better, more joyful place.
🍴Light bites
from our favorite café, The Balkan Grind, with an assortment of burek, lokum, and baklava.
☕️ Refreshments
from our favorite drink brand Recess filled with adaptogens and magnesium to help you stay cool, calm, and collected on the busiest days.
🛍️ Exclusive insider perks
early access to merch voting, upcoming events, and the launch of the next chapter of TCP with future opportunities as this work scales with ambassador programs and trainings in more cities.
🎁 A Confetti Goodie Bag
filled with take-home confetti, a personalized journal, and more surprise gifts.
🌈 And of course… playful moments in pounds of confetti
to reconnect with your inner child through creative expression where you get to make a MESS without having to clean it up after.<3

About Our Host
Jelena, also known as “confetti girl,” is a multi-disciplinary artist that’s grown The Confetti Project over the past 10 years, transforming people with playful confetti experiences that reignite their joy. What started as a creative project in her apartment during her year of "Cancer of Confetti" that turned into grieving the loss of her Dad has taught people how to embrace the messiness of being human by using confetti as a tool to access joy in times of pain, grief, or adversity. She’s developed a unique way of giving people the space to reconnect to their inner spark while bringing play back into adulthood, further expanding the definition of celebration to apply to every moment.
