Co-Creation 2012 Workshops
The Servant Leadership of Greensboro provides a coherent sequence of teaching and practices, which guide participants through a process of genuine emotional and personal transformation. The School offers a three-year curriculum with 8 core classes and many companion classes not directly associated yet complementary to the core curriculum. These workshops represented a “sampling” of the content and practices we teach in both the core and companion classes.
Theory U
Dan Garrett, MS RPh, Pharmacist, architect of community-based diabetes programs nationwide and Board member of Homeward Bound/Asheville, will provide an experience based on Theory U: Leading from the Future as it Emerges by C. Otto Scharmer, MIT professor. Dan will describe the path and practice of being Present to Divine Presence through a journey that connects us more deeply both to what wants to emerge in the world and to our emerging, higher self.
