Feb. 18th- 2 GREAT workshops by Nika Quirk while she''s here from CA for my birthday
party!
»Work is Not the Opposite of Play« - one of the many »unhealed splits« in our world is that
of work/play. Yet so much of our time and energy is »spent at work.« Nika Quirk, M.B.A. and
Certified InterPlay Leader will create a Play & Development (P&D) Lab for participants to explore
the gifts given and received through work and the possibilities for showing up everywhere
as our playful (and meani! ngful!) selves.
»Unlocking the Heart of Collaboration« - successful and sustainable partnering with others requires a
foundation of self-reflection and commitment. So many of us are tired of feeling isolated and overwhelmed and desire the satisfaction and synergy of connected effort. Nika will lead participants through a process that unlocks and unfolds the collaborator in each of us - discovering the motivation, the vision and next steps of creating collaborative relationships.
Cost: Earlybird Registration- $25 pr workshop, $45 for both, before Feb. 13
