Public Workshops & Events

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.
