What is a parent event?
A parent event represents a recurring event as a whole.
It acts as the “series” that groups all occurrences of the event together.
For example:
A weekly yoga class
A monthly board meeting
Each individual occurrence is part of the same parent event.

Each occurrence is a specific date and time within that series
Example

Occurrences:

June 8 at 6:00 PM
June 15 at 6:00 PM
