Being and Our Collectives

Pamela Schreiner and Cille Harris, Organizational Consultants

Come and explore how our personal journeys relate to the evolution of our collectives.  We react to stimulus by either digging in our heels or being in flow.

In this experiential workshop, we’ll contemplate visuals, sit in circle and small groups. We’ll all contribute to our collective learning. This workshop is the prelude to continued exploration with a backcountry canoe trip in 2011.
