The important and often challenging work of meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and change-making calls on us to engage ourselves with rigorous and compassionate personal practice. It is both an opportunity and a responsibility for us to look closely at our own limiting beliefs and patterns in order to learn with humility, amplify our potential for positive contribution and shift the negative impact we can sometimes have, even if it is not intentional. Self-inquiry based personal practice can also provide us with valuable insights for our learning, growth, and wellbeing.

Leaning in to Conflict
2019-04-02 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | CLUBHOUSE
With Rowan Simonsen, Nina Nisar and Jay Rothman
How do we build capacity to be with conflict in creative and generative ways, with kindness and courage at the center?
How can we be and work with the intensity and creative potential of complexity, confusion, and difference?
What are we learning about working in the liminal space between conflict and collaboration?
Conflict like fire can burn, illuminate or transform, depending on HOW we handle it. In this course we explore how to lean in to the fire of conflict and work with it, and each other, with greater skill, respect and care. Leaning in to conflict – including the pain and confusion that often accompany it – and staying with it, can help us learn and connect more deeply with ourselves and each other.

We invite you to join this exploration and deepening practice of creative conflict engagement that can help us collaborate better, improve OUR relationships and ultimately make peace with conflict.

The Art of Online Hosting
2018-08-08 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | CLUBHOUSE
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 (America/Los_Angeles) | CLUBHOUSE
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:
