Conference Program
The online conference program consists of conversation spaces. Keynote conversations with selected groups will frame our work, offer inspiration, and model our conversation processes. Focus area conversation spaces invite you to participate directly with gentle facilitation. At the end of the conference is a space for sharing the harvested seeds from each keynote and focus area. Please see the schedule and 13 focus areas below.
The conversation process starts with leading thoughts and questions shared by two or three individuals in each area. The group then further develops these seeds through conversations. We will provide space at the end of the conference for sharing the harvested seeds from each keynote and focus area.
In all conversations we will embrace deeply hearing from each other with care and understanding, practicing freedom of thought in ourselves and the group, and striving to lift our consciousness toward the creative spirit to invite new ideas to emerge between us.
