Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce the new Waldorf Board Member training is continuing with courses planned for the fall. Its getting rave reviews. Please contact us if you might be interested. See the flyer and registration information here.
We also are pleased to announce a course for new lead administrators, the River, the Raft, and You, led by experienced colleagues Christine Scherding and Lisa Mahar, and designed especially for people new or nearly new to their schools and positions. See the flyer and information here. This is a limited offering for a small group (6-10 per cohort) so as to be able to help address particular situations. Starting this Fall.
Lastly, we are offering a new Facilitation and Group Decision-Making training this fall. See our new offering on the Board Training page.
We continue to be busy with our advisory, coaching, and mentoring work. We are making ourselves available for conversations (free of charge) for anyone who could use some support. If you are interested, please email us at mhsoule@gmail.com . We would be happy to speak with you. In these times of great inner and outer disruption, we encourage you to continue your inner practices and seek others to speak with to find the insights and courage you need.
