    The Center for Creative Emergence
    Public Workshops & Events
    March/April

    Hi there! We are continuing to go through changes here at the The Center for Creative Emergence - cultivating new partnerships, developing new products and forming new initiatives. As we are still in the midst of this process, we will have more details in our next update.

    I recently participated in an event hosted by several inspired organizations, each with a different focus, yet with a larger mission of social transformation through creativity, innovation, and connection. Included among them were Globond - an international networking association of influentials in the business, arts and politics (who recently started a DC Chapter); FLOW - dedicated to manifesting sustainable peace, prosperity, and happiness through, among other things, entrepreneurship and new ways of doing business; and Global Integral Solutions - supporting vitalized social structures, participatory political systems and sustainable cultural forms. Out of the collective energy of event attendees, along with others interested in creativity and entrepreneurship, a new group, organized by Charlie Frohman of FLOW, is emerging: Conscious Entrepreneurs & Creatives (CEC). I will be presenting at the upcoming CEC event on April 7 which is themed around thriving through creativity. Once the location is confirmed, I will send out an email write-up for those who wish to participate.
