Join us on January 28 to discover what the AoC Re-envisioning Team has discovered and co-created over the past year of working together.
What is the AoC Re-Envisioning Team?
A year ago, in December 2024, during the 20th year of The Art of Convening, Craig formed the AoC Re-envisioning Team (mentioned above) to "re-envision Art of Convening" with this invitation:
“You are invited to collaborate on what is next for the Art of Convening. They say there are times when new stars are born in our galaxy, and the brightest shining ones take their place in new constellations. You have been shining in your life and its times, trials, and triumphs, as well as modeling Love in Action in our CPL orbit!
We invite you to be part of a re-envisioning of the CPL constellation! You’ve been integral to the development of the AoC Trainings, Workshops & Courses, and together we will begin to envision the future of AoC.”
Join us on January 28 to discover what this year-long process has revealed and co-created for the next 30 years of the CPL community.
What emerged? A process unlike anything we’ve created at CPL—co-created, co-imagined, within this foundational premise: When we change how we gather, we change what’s possible.
What was the process of the AoC Re-Envisioning Team?
During the Essential Conversation we will explore process the Re-envisioning Team engaged in including the “Re-envisioning Whiteboard” (below) as designed by AoC Re-Envisioning Team members Brent Schmidt, Strategic Fuel, with Kim Kristenson-Lee, Labyrinth Leadership
