The Work Beneath the Work

About This Event
Good collaboration doesn't start with better tools or clearer processes. It starts with presence.
When we're stuck in our heads, reacting, rushing, half-listening, we miss the most important information in the room: what's actually happening between people.
This workshop invites you to slow down and tune in. Through body-based practices and hands-on exploration using the LEGO® Serious Play® method, you'll experience what shifts when people become genuinely present, with themselves and each other.
You'll leave with a felt sense of how you show up with others, practical tools you can bring into your creative work, and a different relationship to trust, communication, and collaboration.
No experience needed. Just bring yourself.
Accessibility Note: The venue is located on the 15th floor of The Ampersand building complex in Chinatown. Attendees are recommended to enter from the south side entrance, where a receptionist is available to guide guests upon arrival. All eight elevators in the building provide access to the venue; however, only the elevator on the right side upon exiting serves the return to the ground floor. The event space features wide, open pathways throughout. Attendees should note that one of the washrooms on the floor is secured by fob access and has no rated accessibility designation; volunteers can be stationed nearby to assist guests requiring access. Attendees with specific accessibility needs are encouraged to contact the organizers in advance.
