Nika Quirk, MBA, InterPlay Leader, Consultant FLYER

"Work is Not the Opposite of Play" One of the many unhealed splits in our world is that of work/play. Yet so much of our time and energy is spent at work.. Nika Quirk, M.B.A. and Certified InterPlay Leader will create a Play & Development (P&D) Lab for participants to explore the gifts given and received through work and the possibilities for showing up everywhere as our playful (and meaningful!) selves. Ponder this-- how do Santas elves find joy at work?

"Unlocking the Heart of Collaboration" Successful and sustainable partnering with others requires a foundation of self-reflection and commitment. So many of us are tired of feeling isolated and overwhelmed and desire the satisfaction and synergy of connected effort. Nika will lead participants through a process that unlocks and unfolds the collaborator in each of us discovering the motivation, the vision and the next steps of creating collaborative relationships.

Directions:
*Going West on Charlotte turn right at light on 26th Ave. N. and go north several blocks and it is on the Left at Torbett.
*From I-40 going west, take the 28th Street exit, turn left at the bottom of the ramp, go 6 blocks or so, and turn left on Torbett, go 3 blocks, and the church is on the corner on the right. Looks like an old church; well-lit parking lot. Call 615-594-4410 if lost.

FEB 19st- Diane's 50th Birthday Party
(actual birthday is 21st!)-- All about the RAINBOW! What gives YOU hope? Nika Quirk of Oakland will be officiating as our leprachaun/ fairygoddemother, and everyone is invited to dress up in as many colors as possible! We'll have a GIVEAWAY-- bring something interesting from around your house that can be released to go live with somebody else--books,clothes,do-dads-- dinner will be potluck!
