SUMMARY:Democratizing Work Primer (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Most of us come from backgrounds and experiences that have not equipped us to share power. Our mainstream culture is predicated on competition and hierarchy. So\, what does it take to share power and practice democratic decision-making in an intentional\, structured way? How can we build the skills and culture needed for equitable and effective collaboration? \nIn this introductory workshop\, GWI provides a window into the kinds of relational shifts that facilitate a culture of shared leadership. We touch on the tools\, policies and practices that support democratic decision making\, and offer a glimpse into how they can be put into action. You will emerge with a sense of how to start taking steps towards sharing power in your organization or working group. \nMore info and register here

SUMMARY:Capacity to Compete (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, Pattern has worked with a team of graduate students from NYU on a special project that examined the inequitable access to state and federal grants for communities of different sizes in the Hudson Valley. Our communities all have similar needs at scale – water and sewer infrastructure\, parks\, downtown upgrades\, economic development support\, and more. But many communities do not have the time and technical know-how to pursue vital grants that are disbursed through increasingly competitive programs. \nPattern and NYU examined this dilemma through dozens of interviews\, and the analysis of local\, state\, and federal programs. Capacity to Compete will offer recommendations to help the Hudson Valley earn more grant funding to keep our communities vibrant\, and our infrastructure in a state of good repair.

SUMMARY:Rooted and Resourced: A 1-Day Retreat for Change-Agents
DESCRIPTION:Are you feeling called to your Good Work but feeling depleted\, disconnected\, and scattered? Are you longing for a chance to recharge and renew your commitments in solidarity with others? Join GWI for a meaningful\, joyful one-day retreat to find a rooted sense of belonging and to resource the important work ahead. \nThis one-day retreat is a chance to take intentional time away from day-to-day challenges to be in community with others who are working towards just futures and regenerative practices. We have three goals: to build relationships that bolster our access to mutual support\, to refresh practices that help move us collectively towards durable and positive change\, and to renew our energies in an environment crafted to open our hearts and light up our vitality. \nGWI facilitators will offer a nourishing set of collaborative sessions\, designed to balance energizing full group experiences and time to talk in smaller groups. We will invite participants in spaces that will allow everyone to share\, learn and listen; we will provide time for renewing our energies; and we will offer space to practice the skills required for joyful\, effective\, cooperative action. \nWe will be drawing from practices that include: setting working agreements; non-violent communication and empathy share; clarity on the vision that animates us; and tools for how to hold space and use equitable meeting practices in your organizing efforts or workplaces. To close the day\, we’ll embrace tranquility with a soothing sound healing experience\, followed by a shared dinner at a local restaurant. Let’s support one another in the vital work ahead! \nMore info & register here
