Dream It, Do it: A Visionary Workshop for the Modern Professional
Whether you're managing a full-time job, a side hustle, or thriving in a remote work setup, this workshop is designed to help you turn your professional dreams into reality.
First, through discussion and visualization, we'll help you land what you really want - your ideal lifestyle, career, balance.
Then, through our signature Objective Consciousness Meditation, we'll identify the barriers that may be holding you back. This reflective process is all about gaining clarity and uncovering the insights that will propel you forward.
From there, we'll get granular, working on building practical steps to bring you closer to your vision. While setting goals is essential, this workshop emphasizes creating mindful habits and prioritizing well-being to ensure sustainable progress.
This isn't just another workshop—it's an opportunity to pause, reflect, and re-align with your ambitions in a meaningful way. Join us to take an intentional break from your busy schedule and invest in your professional and personal growth.

Finding Your Wants: A Pathway Toward Better Work
Finding Your Wants: A Pathway Toward Better Work
Open To All + Free | Ignatius Conference Room | Cahoots
Learn How to Be More Effective In Your Work (And Enjoy It, Too!) with Executive Coach Scott Haber.
Most of us use 'shoulds' to fuel our work without realizing it. While it might help us achieve our goals, it isn't an enjoyable way to work and often leaves us feeling unfulfilled and missing a deeper sense of satisfaction. Within our 'shoulds' exists our wants; this workshop will help participants identify and clarify their wants underneath their 'shoulds', which is a hack towards driving more flow, tapping into easeful productivity and doing work that feels more in personal alignment.
Serious Play: A Radical Game-a-thon
Join asses.masses co-creator Patrick Blenkarn for an evening of game-making. Learn the basics of game design and create concepts for provocative games with political potential. No previous knowledge or technical expertise required! Over the course of the workshop, participants will generate ideas together and play out early prototypes with analog tools (pen, paper, and collective creativity).
Pizza and beverages provided.
