SUMMARY:Mining for Gold: Writing Workshop to Find Your Essential Story
DESCRIPTION:Each of us has known wild acts of bravery\, peace in the face of adversity and the discovery of unexpected courage. We have also known moments when fear felt bigger than our actions or when we didn’t trust a gut instinct. And who hasn’t lived through a head-spinning mix of both (the last year and a half anyone)? \nOur lives are filled with gold if we take time to notice\, honor our lived wisdom and write vital stories into being. But the terrain of personal narrative is much broader and more layered than we expect when we begin to write. The story that seeks to be told often lives just beyond familiar territory and we are called to venture into unexpected places. \nAward-winning author and book coach Kristin Kaye has been to these places with many people many times and\, be they are writers\, journalers or everyday seekers\, they always return with gold. \nThese tales not only hold healing for ourselves\, but can become a remedy for others\, too. \nThe world needs your remedy. \nThis writing workshop offers: \n\nmeditation to quiet the mind to see old stories with new eyes\ntools and practices to survey your life to discover nuggets of insight\nwriting time with simple exercises to get the flow going\nreading your pages if you are so inspired\ngenerative exploration that will leave you with loads of raw material that can become the narrative building blocks for writing projects\n\nPrepare to excavate familiar personal stories to unearth unexpected perspectives and valuable material for your memoir\, personal essay or work of literary non-fiction. This workshop is equally helpful for journal writing\, too. \nWriters of all ages and skill levels welcome. \nABOUT YOUR HOST: Kristin Kaye holds an MFA in Creative Writing and is an award-winning author\, ghostwriter and book coach. Books include her novel TREE DREAMS (Winner 2018 Int’l Book Awards\, ‘A superbly written tale filled with realistic\, engaging and quirky characters.’ ~ Kirkus Reviews) ) and her memoir IRON MAIDENS: The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World (Finalist 2006 Oregon Book Awards\, One of 5 Books for Women Who Resist Easy Definition ~ Utne).

SUMMARY:Aligned Living Conversation: Systems Change at Scale
DESCRIPTION:You want the world to change\, but what you’re doing isn’t working. So what should be done?  \nThe answer is to be smarter about where and how you apply yourself. When we look at the systems most in need of reform — corrections\, environmental\, educational\, social\, healthcare\, just to name a few — we see huge and lumbering systems that are largely insulated from individual actions.  \nWe need to be acting on the systems that have the greatest impact on the world if we want to create real and lasting change\, and we need to be acting in specific ways. Otherwise\, these big systems will simply pull more and more good intentions into them but remain the same. If you’re going to change the world\, it’s best to do so in a way that actually matters.   \nJoin Matt Ludmer\, Jen Berman\, and Melissa Gavin to talk about how we can understand systems in a way that allows our actions to have the maximum impact\, so that we can indeed create a better tomorrow. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who desires a better and safer world for us and for our children and grandchildren.  \nJen Berman is the Training and Partnerships Officer for the Garfield Foundation\, and has been working with the Forum for the Future’s School of System Change as a strategic partner and facilitator since 2018.  \nMelissa Gavin is the Chief Executive Officer of the RE-AMP Network\, which focuses on catalytic efforts to reduce global warming pollution and ensure Midwestern states lead the nation’s transition to a clean energy economy. \n  \n=================== \nAt The Aligned Center\, our model for Aligned Living is inspired by a Four Quadrant framework used in Ken Wilber’s Integral philosophy that represents four dimensions of our experience: individual inner and outer experience\, and collective inner and outer experience. Our Four Quadrant model includes Mind-Body Awareness\, Work & Wealth Abundance\, Heartfelt Community and Knowledge of Systems. \nAligned Living Conversations shed light on the possibilities and practices for living fully into all dimensions of our lives. With our world in the midst of seismic shifts\, Aligned Living allows us to foster positive change for ourselves\, our families and the world. \nThis conversation sits in the quadrant of Knowledge of Systems. We invite you to join us. \n

SUMMARY:Leading Without Easy Answers with Doug Sundheim
DESCRIPTION:Build momentum for your big idea. \nWe have had a lot of uncertainty in the last 18 months\, from Covid to inflation to political polarization. Yet it is the ability to move forward in the face of uncertainty that allows for success. In fact\, this course can teach you how to harness the power of uncertainty for yourself. \n \nThis course will allow you to build momentum for your big idea\, through: \n\nUnderstanding how to take smart risks in uncertain times\nGetting clear on your objectives and goals\nWhat it means to execute your idea\nWorking with polarity (doubting yourself vs trusting yourself\, needing to move fast vs moving slow enough to be thorough\, the need for stability vs the need for dynamism\, and the creative tension between taking risks and seeking safety)\nBringing a passion project to life\n\nThis course will explore how you can fine-tune and sharpen your skills in a world that seems to be in a near-constant state of uncertainty. You’ll bring a specific idea\, project\, or company challenge you’re trying to overcome and advance\, and dig in with Doug and the rest of the group. Classes are highly interactive workshops with a talk\, presentation of a new skill set\, sharing with others\, and individualized coaching with Doug. \nTake this class if: \n\nYou have led well in the past but are finding the current state of the world hard to navigate\nYou need a better understanding of how to lead\nYou’re launching something and want to be as prepared as possible\nYou are managing others and want to feel more confidence in your skills\nYou have been successful as a leader in the past but have plateaued in your skills\n\nWe’ll explore the four ways you can lead without an easy answer. \nWeek 1: Get clear \nThis first class is foundational. We’ll get clear on what you’re doing and why\, your directional vision\, and your underlying values. We’ll look at your values driving you\, and how to keep them from getting static. Clarity comes from seeing your ideas in a dynamic way\, not a static goal line to be crossed. \nWeek 2: Get aligned  \nAlignment builds on clarity. From here\, we’ll talk about the reality that we can’t always get everyone aligned with our vision\, and what we can do about it. Alignment might not mean that everyone agrees with the path ahead\, but it does mean that everyone is on-board with moving in that direction. In this week’s class\, we’ll talk about how to do check-ins and establish open dialog that allows convergence around your idea and helps inspire others to follow your lead\, even if they’re not totally sold on the direction. \nWeek 3: Get moving  \nMoving means knowing all the moving parts of what’s to come. Movement requires the plan be implemented in a way that some are doing work\, some are overseeing it\, and everyone is being held accountable to delivering on their end of the task. We learn to evolve as we move. There’s a dynamism in moving and we’ll learn\, evolve\, and change as we go.  \nWeek 4: Get better  \nHere we stop and look at the big picture. If you’re an operator\, the leader\, what are you doing to personally grow? How are you helping the team excel better? Doing the right kind of research\, which we’ll explore\, is one of the foundational practices in getting better. We will look at the conditions for a highly effective team and see how yours is stacking up. We’ll analyze your approach to personal development and see if it will help you better lead. The idea here is that leaders learn to sharpen their own saws\, not other people’s\, to inspire growth and innovation from everyone on the team. In other words\, we lead by example. \nThe course will be by Zoom\, and will be every two weeks on Wednesday nights from 7-9 pm EST\, starting October 20th\, 2021. \nDates: October 20\, November 3\, November 17\, December 1 \nTime: 7 – 9:00 PM EST \nCost: $150 for the 4-part series \n

SUMMARY:Aligned Living Conversation: Cultural Intelligence in an Age of Racial Reckoning
DESCRIPTION:Race in America is a complex topic. It can feel hard to wrap your arms around\, particularly since our lives are filled with so many commitments. Even if you interact with diverse groups of people\, conversations about race can feel abstract\, especially because of loud voices and powerful emotions on all sides. Being part of the solution starts with curiosity about what racism and antiracism have to do with your life. It’s as much an inward reflection as about external problems. This isn’t easy\, because it requires slowing down from a busy life long enough to put yourself in others’ shoes and wonder what they are thinking and feeling. It also involves questioning things you’ve never asked hard questions about before. This can feel uncomfortable but also refreshing. It’s a chance to learn something new about yourself and the country you live in. As importantly\, you get to be part of the solution.  \nMaking this topic personal is important.  Most of us have been exposed to good-faith attempts to heal this divide in open-hearted but incomplete ways. The traditional liberal school of “colorblind” thought (now adopted by many conservatives) correctly identifies the arbitrary nature of racial categories yet bypasses the exclusions and violence of American history. Many in the antiracist school rightly document how far we have to go and make it personal yet deny real progress\, get caught in shaming\, and reinforce racial essentialism. Neither school of thought gives you a chance to make this personal and does so in a respectful and open way. Getting where we need to go requires being part of a truly integral solution.  \nGreg Thomas\, Jewel Kinch-Thomas\, and Amiel Handelsman will talk with Matt about how to explore these topics in a way that provides tangible results. Looking at American history\, reflecting on our own experiences\, and imagining a better future—in a safe environment that allows people to speak freely and honestly—helps us to create a better tomorrow starting today.  \nWe will complete the conversation with an offer from Jewel\, Greg\, and Amiel to join them in Stepping Up\, a six-month course starting in October and devoted to exploring these very topics in a personal and transformative way. Sign up for that course now to receive the early bird special. \nAbout the Aligned Living Conversations Series \nAt The Aligned Center\, our model for Aligned Living is inspired by a Four Quadrant framework used in Ken Wilber’s Integral philosophy that represents four dimensions of our experience–individual inner and outer experience\, and collective inner and outer experience. Our Four Quadrant model includes Mind-Body Awareness\, Work & Wealth Abundance\, Heartfelt Community and Knowledge of Systems. \nAligned Living Conversations shed light on the possibilities and practices for living fully into all dimensions of our lives. With our world in the midst of seismic shifts\, Aligned Living allows us to foster positive change for ourselves\, our families and the world. \nThis conversation sits in the quadrant of Heartfelt Community. We invite you to join us.

SUMMARY:Aligned Living Conversation: Taking Smart Risks with Doug Sundheim
DESCRIPTION:What are the times in your life when you felt truly alive? What values were you living? What risks were you taking? \nJoin Matt Ludmer and Doug Sundheim as they explore the role of risk-taking in fulfilling your potential. See how having something worth fighting for informs sensible risk-takers. Learn how to separate dumb self-destructive risks from the ones that propel you forward. For if you take no risks\, you sacrifice the chance to truly know yourself and risk having an unfulfilled and stagnant life. Whatever age you’re at\, this discussion will inspire you to take the actions that allow you to live your richest life. \nAt The Aligned Center\, our model for Aligned Living is inspired by a Four Quadrant framework used in Ken Wilber’s Integral philosophy that represents four dimensions of our experience–individual inner and outer experience\, and collective inner and outer experience. Our Four Quadrant model includes Mind-Body Awareness\, Work & Wealth Abundance\, Heartfelt Community and Knowledge of Systems. \nAligned Living Conversations shed light on the possibilities and practices for living fully into all dimensions of our lives. With our world in the midst of seismic shifts\, Aligned Living allows us to foster positive change for ourselves\, our families and the world. \nThis conversation sits in the quadrant of Work & Wealth Abundance.
