5-Day Workshops:
West Coast...2009 TBA
Sausalito, CA
In this workshop, Angeles Arrien & Patrick O'Neill will address
the universal principles and skills that build and support collective wisdom. Collective
wisdom is a sustainable human resource that is created and fostered by the contribution of
individual gifts, talents, skills, and diverse experiences to support a common purpose.
Never before has there been so much to gain or to lose in our collective experiment on
this planet. A collective is any group of three or more people and includes families,
teams, organizations, and institutions.
What are the ways we can inspire responsibility, participation, and creativity, despite
growing global resignation and stasis? How can collective wisdom be harnessed to support
right action: action that supports moving tasks and relationships forward together?
This is rigorous work. Together we will examine what keeps us from fully showing up to our
own leadership, and blending our gifts and talents with others.
Tools and techniques that will be explored in this learning experience:· how to release
limiting family patterns,
· how to enhance one's authenticity by speaking concisely and from the heart, · how to
enhance self-esteem through cross-cultural empowerment tools, · how to increase
communication skills and creative thinking, · how to increase collective "team
thinking" and positiveness, · how to improve open and truthful dialogue, · how to
find challenges and energy in chaos.
Fee: $900 -housing is extra. (Group and student rates, & payment plans available)
40 hours of CEU credits available
