The Studio for Playful Inquiry

Leading for Playful Inquiry

This week, we're on retreat with our first leadership cohort in Cannon Beach, Oregon, thinking and reflecting and planning with the friends we have made through our online program over the year - meeting in person for the first time - sharing food (lots of food) and impressions that can only be shared when you are breathing the same air, feeling the same ocean mist together in the three-dimensional world.

So we're stopping by your inbox to remind you that the rates for next year's cohort go up this week. The retreat will be optional again next year - Zoom meetings will be monthly. All details - including lots of words from current participants - are at the link below. Register by FRIDAY and you'll get your yearlong Studio membership included in your registration fees.

Hope to see you there!

"'Dialogue' comes from the Greek word dialogos. Logos means 'the word' or in our case we would think of the 'meaning of the word'. And dia means 'through' - it doesn't mean two. A dialogue can be among any number of people, not just two. Even one person can have a sense of dialogue within himself, if the spirit of the dialogue is present. The picture of image that this derivation suggests is of a stream of meaning flowing among and through us and between us. This will make possible a flow of...
