Team Building Architect Certification

People often confuse team bonding with team building, using fun happy hour's and scheduled team time together outside of work to build relationship equity. While that is such an important part of what bonds teams together for times of challenge, and gives us a sense of safety with one another, we believe team building is deeper and has three important compontents:

1. Purpose (for this moment and these specific players)

2. Embodied Play (Simulated Struggle in the ways *this* team seems to have trouble.)

3. Opportunities to build deep relationships horizontally or vertically with people who are instrumental to their work done.

To design a team builder with this much intentionality, the facilitator/architect needs the design formula, and a wide range of team building activities to chose from that will allow you to tap into the wisdom of the body, play and group dynamics to achieve a fun and thought provoking debreif. Many teams have social cohesion without transcending team issues, or building the team.

In this full day training, attendees will learn how to properly identify the team building goals, methods, activities and outcomes. This incredibly fun training will model team building activities and teach theory that will help you practice on your cohort and walk away feeling confident about when (and how) to take serious team stuggles to the playground.

Transforming Communities- Apprenticeship Cohort

June 1, 2024 - September 23, 2024

This cohort is facilitated by Cultivate Leadership to create a unique opportunity for change makers, activists, artists, organizers and passionate concerned citizens wanting to bridge divides in their communties.

In 2024, our teachers, Marcie Telander and Mark Schwiesow will teach Cultural Animation using their 40-year running leadership case study, Vinotok, to model how communities come together across political, class, & belief divides to create unity and reconnect people with the stories of their place. Apprentices will create their own unique community Earth-based event after completing the immersion, and Cultivate Leadership will provide coaching for all cohort members.

Our 40-year, week-long event serves as a powerful model of a Culture of Vision, of collective assistance and persistence. It has become an international image of enactment for all forms of Community Celebration. This festival is the result of decades of experience, co-creation, education and dedication through some of the first originators of Community Animation and Earth-Honoring communal healing through celebration. It brings forth the most ancient forms of ceremony while offering regenerative, contemporary expressions of the sacred meaning of Place Spirit. The preservation and protection of the environment are animated and embodied through the humans who honor the Personhood and cultural diversity within every part of the local and extended Earth-human family and environment. Gather your family, neighborhood, organization, town, city--draw from the values which rise up organically from your roots, shared history and communal mission.
