Hi all!

this notice of an activity that looks remarkably like the Open Space
talk-walking we have just been discussing. It looks like a whole lot of fun
too!

All-day Workshop—Leading Artfully
Sunday May 3rd, 8:30 AM—5:00 PM, Lairmont Manor
405 Fieldston Road, Bellingham WA 98225
In times of uncertainty we need to look to the spaces between for order and
coherence—to the gifts of beauty, grace, voice and wholeness—what may be
called
the commons of the imagination. Awakening to the presence of the commons in
both the
personal and the public imagination is our new art form. It is also the
leader's new work.
Michael Jones
Much of the leader's work today is not in playing the notes but in listening
for what is emerging in the space between. To listen wisely into these
in-between spaces we need to find a new path of leadership that involves
re-imaging our life and work—to do things not only differently but to see
and hear with fresh eyes and fresh ears.
· When do we feel most vital, alive and in the flow of our work?
· Where do we go to discover a sense of place, beauty, and
inspiration?
· How can leaders—like artists—be sensitive to the life of their
work and where it wants to go?
· To what do we want to give voice—from a place of deep listening
what are the stories we want to tell and bring forth?
Through discovering our unique gifts and learning to sense emergent
possibilities, through finding ease and grace in our work and crafting new
and more evocative narratives, through trusting in the authority of our own
stories and subjective experiences, and through connecting with a new center
of being we can set free the inner capacities to meet new and complex
challenges in ways that align with our deepest aspirations and the wisdom
and intelligence held in our hearts.
Often this inner quest is one that seems directionless, tentative, and
unclear. Yet for those who are sensitive to its yearnings and are willing to
follow where it wants to go, allowing this unfoldment ultimately awakens the
sense of deep interconnectedness—a commons—a field of infinite possibility
where we discover what is most deeply personal is also most universal.
In this present time of uncertainty and change, Michael foresees an
opportunity for a renaissance in leadership practice, a time for leaders to
access a subtle intelligence and offer an imaginative response to our world,
a time to mine the interstices between generative dialogue, leadership,
creative artistry, and collective innovation in a way that is inspired,
organic, welcoming, and engaged.
These are the central themes we will explore in this unique workshop with
Michael Jones. The Flow Project, The Sound Essence Project, and Michael
invite you to take your leadership aspirations to a deeper level and awaken
your heart to new possibilities in an environment that offers time alone in
nature, evocative teaching stories, guided reflection, generative
conversation, and beautiful improvised music throughout.
Cost $100 early registration; $125 after March 31st. Students $70. Lunch and
snacks included. Some partial scholarships and volunteer positions
available.
