The Art of Online Hosting
2018-08-08 10:00 - 12:00
The Art of Online Hosting is designed for those who are called to gather people together across geographic boundaries and host online courses and events that are everything we know they can be – real, engaging, truly interactive & deeply connected.
Four Wednesdays – August 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th
10am – 12pm Pacific Time
ONLINE
The course, experienced in a series of four two-hour online sessions, is both visionary and practical. Visionary in that it awakens new possibilities for how to “be” together in the digital realm, and practical in terms of sharing specific tools and practices that underpin successful online engagements.
We’ll focus on the basics and some of the deeper levels of hosting in the digital realm, using a variety of participatory formats as our entryways – not simply as methods, but as fundamental patterns of engagement.
We will become familiar with the technology of online interaction and together explore how to be fully present and connected – to the collective wisdom in our groups & to the innate wisdom of the earth – as the stance from which we host.
Join us and open the door to a better way to be together online.

The Art of Zentangle
2018-05-12 10:00 - 12:00
Join me (Amy Lenzo) and Certified Zentangle Teacher Jill Greenbaum in this series of three two-hour online workshops for a journey into the exciting world of Zentangle.
Jill taught me how to do this. She’s a great teacher – clear, supportive, and creative – and I was immediately fascinated! I love it – have a look at what I’ve created so far.
Zentangle is a simple, relaxing practice that came out of a collaboration between a calligrapher and a former Buddhist monk. It invites us to touch that place of inner calm and stillness and create something beautiful at the same time. Over the years, I’ve discovered how very important beauty and the arts are to help me balance the stress and speed that can take over my life, and I invite you to join me in learning a practice that you can carry with you and apply anywhere, anytime.
This isn’t so much about drawing – it’s about self-care. In this time when so much is asked of us, self-care isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. The art of Zentangle is about making time for yourself, slowing down and creating opportunities for real connection (bring your teenager or best friend) and rejeuvenation. You might discover parts of yourself you didn’t know existed.
We’ll be working with a small group to discover and explore together, and you will be surprised at how easy and accessible it is. Everyone is welcome —absolutely no artistic experience is needed.
Three Saturdays: May 12th, 19th, & 26th
10am – 12am Pacific Time | 1-3 Eastern Time | 7 – 9pm CET
Cost $150 (includes materials)
[Zentangle with a Friend (or family member) or Group: 35% OFF]
To make sure you have time to receive your materials:

REGISTERATION IS NOW CLOSED
Materials (see below for details) will be delivered to YOUR location
If you live somewhere else in the world, please contact us (and be prepared to register earlier if required).

Here’s what we’ll be doing together:
Session One: Learn to Tangle!
We start the journey by exploring the roots of this art and the steps to follow to draw your own tiles, starting.
This is one of the first Zentangle designs I made, and it got me hooked!
In the first session we will explore three different tangles and complete a tile (that’s what we call the square form of a Zentangle). From the very first class, you will create your own beautiful Zentangle tile, and leave with a hunger to learn even more!

Session Two: Black Zentangle Tiles*
In the second session, we’ll explore the reverse of everything we’ve learned so far — we will use black paper and white pens! With gel pens in hand and white chalk at the ready, we will play with layering techniques to create extraordinary effects and fascinating new visuals. Black tile and white pens—an awesome combination!
* features black tiles, white gel pen, and white chalk

Session Three: Renaissance Tiles*
In the last session, we shift into working with tan paper, black and brown pens, and white gel pens. Going back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, we will study the iconic characteristics of these masters and use similar techniques to create our own works of art.
* features Renaissance (tan-colored) tiles, brown pen, and white gel pen

Everything you need for this course will be mailed to you, all packed in this beautiful cloth bag:

Creating Ceremony in the Digital Realm
2018-03-20 10:00 - 12:30
Four 2 1/2 hour sessions. Every Tuesday from March 20th to April 10th.
10am to 12:30pm Pacific Time (UTC-8)
Join us in an exploration both practical & visionary as together we learn what it is to imagine, design, & host Ceremony in the digital realm.
The word ceremony comes from the root of an ancient word that means “sacred circle”.
When we gather for ceremony, we are making explicit an underlying truth that all of life is Sacred. As we choose to live into our own unique spiritual practices in the everyday moments of our lives, not just in the temple, on retreat, or in the ashram, we come to embody the notion that “Life is Ceremony”.

Drawing as a Verb with Brandy Agerbeck
2018-03-05 10:00 - 12:00
Four 2-hour sessions, every Monday in March: March 5th, March 12th, March 19th, & March 26th, 2018.
10am – 12pm Pacific Time (UTC-8)
Do you remember the moment when someone or something turned off your sense that you could draw? When that drawing switch flips off we lose the capacity to use drawing as our best thinking tool. Drawing and visual thinking enables us to navigate complexity and make meaning for ourselves and in groups. And these skills help us to think critically, reduce overwhelm and communicate clearly, and engage effectively in problem-solving, decision-making, and prioritizing.
What keeps us from drawing is the inner criticism and judgement that our drawings aren’t beautiful and good enough. That’s the problem with seeing drawing as a noun or as an object. In this course, we embrace drawing as a verb and all that process-focused drawing can help us accomplish. Over these four weeks, we’ll shush the inner critic and give you concrete tools and experience to reclaim drawing as your best thinking tool.

Everybody working in organizational life now is a designer, increasingly working within more uncertainty and more demands on us to design solutions for the challenges that we are facing.

This course will be like no other we have offered so far, building on existing work in the field and bringing to bear all that Chris has been learning for a practical, hands-on application of the tools and principles of Chaordic Design – Bring your projects and let’s get to work!
