Container

Today my colleague and collaborator Elad Levinson of Noble Purpose Consulting and I facilitated the first Working for Good workshop, which we co-designed over the past few months. It was quite an experience.

Thanks to all who participated. I am heartened by the participants' presence deep engagement, and their open appreciation for the experience. I am especially encouraged by the positive response from all involved to the "container" for inquiry and exploration we created. Like the book, Working for Good (Sounds True, September 2009), we focus on creating the conditions and providing structure that foster awareness, embodiment, connection, collaboration, and integration, rather than a simple formula.

Based on the response to the workshop and the early response to the book, it feels like many people are open to the inner exploration and dialogue that facilitate true Working for Good. And it feels like creating containers that support this exploration and dialogue is a valuable and viable service.

Elad and I will announce the next Working for Good workshop soon, and we look forward to collaborating with Ted Robb (of InHouse Creative Studios) and others to develop a more richly textured, multi-media Working for Good experience.

Stay tuned, and be well,

Jeff
