What is at the heart of collaboration? How can we across the boundaries of our organizations, families and identities discover collective wisdom and find new ways forward beyond what we know?
Please join us at Flourish Ojai on December 2nd, 6pm - 8pm for this free event to explore community collaboration.
This event is to take the material from the events in the past two months in our bioregional community project (Ventura County region California) - listening circles, visioning and idea generation - and work out how we want to put it into action. In this event we will review our journey and then form small working groups based on responsbility and passion to explore what generative action could look like. All are welcome to this event - those who have attended past events and new colloborators.
In this advanced training, we will develop capacities to dwell in the space between the known and the unknown, between birth and death, between illusion and disillusion, and between vision and manifestation.
We will move through our biases and beliefs, our doubts and identities, cultures and concepts with care and courage. Join us in this nine day adventure in the semi wilderness to explore how your journey can open up radical trust and creativity.

As we open our circles of self, relationship, and communities to the fertile ground of truth and authenticity, we often reveal underlying tensions that were quietly affecting the interactions and outcomes of our life and work. This tension can be emotional -- causing suffering, distress, and dysfunction -- or it can be creative, inspiring healing, growth, and authentic connection. This training will offer ways of working with this tension to foster generativity, overcome interpersonal challenges, and transform stagnant relationships into the fertile ground for creative growth in your life and work.

The World Health Organization officially classified it as a disease in its May 2019 Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).
It’s a pandemic striking at the heart, minds, and bodies of employees around the world, costing companies (directly) an estimated $190 billion dollars in the USA alone.
Additionally, worldwide, 615 million people suffer from depression and anxiety, and this has an estimated $1 trillion dollar loss of productivity.
Like many, if not most, of the global issues facing humanity (and our ability to work together, create together, solve problems together), the scale, reach, and depth of the crisis makes it a systemic issue.
Also, like most of the global issues facing humanity, the dominant solutions are individual focused (wellness programs, vacations, self-care, etc), ignoring the systemic issues.
Are you interested in changing that?
Then join us for the first in a series of Mastermind Sessions with colleagues from HR, Leadership & Development, DEI, and People and Culture roles across industries and geographies as we hear each other, deepen understanding, and create solutions together.
The first of this series is about the story we tell ourselves, and our teams about the meaning and purpose of work; how these stories are failing us, and the new stories that are emerging.
Email us to request your invitation.
Include your name, industry, and role.
Spaces are limited.

A dialogue of reconciling patterns of oppression, shame and silencing.
