Workshops are perfect for teams, organizations, or communities seeking to build shared capacity, deepen relationships, or explore specific aspects of purpose-driven leadership together. They're also valuable for individuals wanting an introduction to this work or focused development in a particular area.
Workshop Experience
Workshops range from short one hour introductory sessions to day long exploration, designed to meet the specific needs of your organization or community. Our workshops offer focused experiences designed to build specific leadership capacities in a short timeframe. Each workshop combines teaching, experiential activities, and time for integration and dialogue, creating space for both learning and application. We take care to create inclusive spaces for authentic connection and learning. We hold complexity with care, honor diverse perspectives, and support participants in developing both inner awareness and outer capacity for leadership that serves the common good.
Sample Workshop Topics
We offer workshops that explore concepts of purpose, values, resilience, gratitude, awe, and meaning. We can also customize workshops for your organization's or community's needs.
Building Cohesive Community
Designed for new cohorts, this workshop brings individuals into community through both personal purpose-setting and collective connection. Participants explore their values, gifts, and intentions while building deep relationships with one another. Through introspection and shared dialogue, cohorts develop the compassion and care needed to support each other's journeys—creating the foundation for a powerful shared experience.
The Journey of Purpose
Purpose is a way of living and interacting with the world in deep alignment with the self. This workshop provides an introduction and overview of the purpose framework which includes how our inner world — our values, gifts, and sources of joy — connects with the needs and possibilities of the world around us. Purpose is more than an individual pursuit of introspection; it binds us to each other with empathy and compassion to address the needs in the world that matter. In this interactive session we will explore how you can live more in alignment with your purpose.
What Do You Stand For? Values-Driven Life and Leadership
What do you truly stand for — and does your life reflect it? We will explore how living in alignment with your core values can bring clarity, fulfillment, and deeper meaning to everyday choices. Participants will be guided through an engaging process of identifying their most essential values and reflecting on how those values show up (or don't) in their actions. We will examine the lineage of our values and how they connect with the collective spaces we inhabit in our lives now. The session will spark meaningful dialogue and offer tools to support your purpose in daily life. It's a chance to pause, reset, and realign with what really matters.
Leading with Love
In these tumultuous times, how can we resource ourselves to envision — and build — the world we want to live in? Drawing on our collective imagination, we'll explore how to nurture our creative spirits — both individually and collectively — through contemplative practices and tools for resilience. Together, we'll consider what it means to build a deeply relational world, one grounded in love, possibility, and mutual support. This is an invitation to reconnect with your childlike imagination and to remember that changemaking is both an internal and collective practice.
The Power of Awe and Gratitude: Strengthening Our Wellbeing Muscles
(for Women)
Did you know that awe and gratitude are capacities that you can build? They are called transcendent emotions because they connect us with each other and the larger world. As women, we are often socialized to focus our energy on caring for others. In this session, we'll turn inward to practice cultivating gratitude for ourselves—our hearts, our spirits, and our bodies. Together, we'll explore how the experience of awe can open us to deeper connection, joy, and meaning. You'll leave with simple, sustainable practices to continue on your own, enhancing your wellbeing and inner beauty.
Individual and Collective Nature Meditation
This experiential talk invites you to reconnect with the wisdom of the body and the healing energy of the natural world. Blending thoughtful discussion with guided practices, we'll explore the science of nervous system regulation through simple yet powerful contemplative techniques. As we move through nature, we'll engage in grounding practices, deep listening, gentle movement, and meaningful connection — both with each other and with the landscape around us. This session is both restorative and connective, as we offer each other shared presence, support, wisdom, and awe at the natural beauty that surrounds us.
Awe Walk: Connecting with Nature and Each Other
Step into the serene beauty of nature on a guided Awe Walk. Awe is a transcendent emotion we can cultivate with practice, bringing a sense of healing and renewal. This accessible experience invites you to breathe in the natural beauty around you, engage in gentle movement, and explore contemplative practice. You will come away feeling connected to both the place and one another.
