OSR Alumni Association presents
2009 Annual conference
One practice from the art of illumination
with Mark Shimada
| Saturday, June 20 | Limited to 50 participants |
| 90 minutes: 1:15–2:45 pm | |
| A more in-depth workshop is offered on Sunday. | |
The art of illumination is based on the idea that interior development (experiences, reflections, and beliefs) affects exterior development (systems, procedures, and processes). In this session, you’ll experience the value of one of the five practices.
Using free form calligraphy, you’ll explore collective virtuosity that shifts the dependency of leadership away from an individual to each and every member, much like in jazz, symphony, dance, or an ensemble.
Your workshop takeaways
- Apply the concepts underlying the workshop design to personal and organizational change opportunities;
- Apply the content to frame change opportunities with an emphasis on inner dynamics.
