SUMMARY:Democratizing Work Primer (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to share power and practice democratic decision-making in an intentional\, structured way? \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. \nIn 2019\, the Good Work Institute team made the collective decision to move from a hierarchical organization to a Worker Self-Directed Nonprofit. Together\, we built a system of shared governance that serves the needs of our organization while honoring our unique individual contributions. We are continuously evolving our sense of how to practice shared leadership. You can read more about our own journey in this blog series: Sharing Power. \nMore info & registration here!

SUMMARY:Art of Facilitation: Community of Practice (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:We know that collaboration is not an automatic result of a desire to work together well\, but flows from intentional\, ongoing practices that develop the awareness and capacities of the members of the working group over time. Enter the facilitator. \nIn this lightly-facilitated gathering\, we aim to provide a space for all of us to share our approaches\, challenges\, and learnings as we experiment and grow in our practice as facilitators. This offering is a discussion-based session\, a community of practice. This is not a workshop\, although we will share tips and tricks\, as we hear from each other. \nWe invite you to join this discussion if any of the following apply: \nYou hold the responsibility in leading or co-leading a class\, working group\, or team\nYou sense there might be better ways for you all to collaborate in meetings but are not sure how to shift things\nYou seek a more democratic process when making group decisions or gathering people’s input\nYou’d like support from other facilitators! \nMore info & Registration here

SUMMARY:Rooted & Resourced: A 1-Day Retreat for Change-Agents
DESCRIPTION: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. We will end the day sharing dinner together at a local restaurant. \nMore info & Registration here

SUMMARY:53rd Annual Dutchess Community College Foundation Holiday Craft Fair
DESCRIPTION:The Dutchess Community College Foundation Holiday Craft Fair\, which celebrated its semicentennial anniversary in 2022\, offers Hudson Valley locals and visitors the opportunity to shop small (and support handmade!) Thanksgiving weekend. The foundation is now partnering with Quail Hollow Events in the promotion and organization of the decades-old fair. \nBoasting just over 100 artists\, the fair has become a holiday shopping tradition for many in the region\, and one that stands in stark opposition to the Black Friday culture propagated by Big Box Stores. Entering its 53rd year in 2025\, the fair presents an alternative to the frenzied buying experience that Black Friday consumers experience. This is not a festival for imported or mass-produced products; everything onsite is handmade\, with the artist or maker in attendance. Like Quail Hollow’s other events\, this one is juried\, with exhibitors thoughtfully selected to ensure a balanced assortment of handmade art\, crafts\, and goodies that vary widely in terms of style and taste. \nVisitors will find holiday favorites\, like fresh\, locally sourced wreaths\, delicate holiday ornaments\, and tasty treats\, but these seasonal staples are part of a broader sea of handcrafted pieces. The event will showcase a bevy of skilled artists and makers in over 10 media categories. Rows of carefully curated booths will display something for every taste – and for everyone on your gift list – from fine art and photography\, to ceramics\, jewelry\, woodwork\, fiber (both wearable and decorative)\, specialty foods\, and small-batch cosmetic products like candles and soaps. Find heirloom-quality wall art and ceramics\, display-worthy cutting boards\, wearable art like sweater-scarves\, wraps and cold weather necessities\, and fine jewelry (ranging from classic to quirky to modern). \nQuail Hollow values the interaction between visitor and maker and hopes to foster this relationship within the halls of Dutchess Community College for decades to come. Says director Ola Rubinstein\, “The real center and heart of these festivals is the connections that are made. The visitor experience involves much more than holiday shopping. Through engaging with the artist\, visitors will learn about the artistic process and the history of the item that they are observing or purchasing.” \nThe DCCF Holiday Craft Fair will take place at Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie\, in Falcon and Drumlin Halls\, the weekend following Thanksgiving. The event is rain or shine\, and shuttles transport shoppers between the two event halls.
