The common thread

gather and Grow

Local Experiences

 

Gather and Grow experiences connect individuals who share a common thread - leaders, teachers, retirees, parents... the possibilities are endless. 

Our goal is to grow alongside one another, in ways that feel grounding and expansive. Every experience is designed for growth that integrates intellect, inner wisdom, and community.  True growth offers more than simply information. Our experiences offer practical and useful knowledge, integrated with experience, that can be cultivated for wisdom.

This isn't a conference or a retreat - it's a new paradigm -- a space where growth feels restorative, purposeful, connected, and alive.

Join your table in small groups of 6-8

Insight Workshop

    • Growth and insight development around a topic that is central to the common thread of the group

Making Connections through Shared Wisdom

    • In small groups, meet others who are on a similar journey. We will create purposeful connection by sharing tools, resources, and practical ideas to help each other along the path.

Exploring Inner Wisdom

    • Reflect on questions designed to distill a next step, area of focus, or new idea and to work with barriers to moving forward.

Cultivating Clarity

    • Contemplative practices yield inner peace and practical results. It's not just "woo"! We'll have the opportunity to practice the benefits of stillness, grounding practices, meditation, mindfulness, and other ways of regulating stress and revealing inner wisdom. Pausing to center our attention reduces stress, sharpens decision-making, strengthens emotional intelligence, and fosters resilience and perspective. 

Invitation to Self

    • Before parting ways, we will take time to capture one intention, commitment, or action item that will move us one step closer to our vision for integrating contentedness and our future vision. 

Join us on a journey to integrate knowledge and meaning, where creativity and clarity come naturally, where we find sustainable ways of living and leading. This is The Common Thread.

The Common Thread Leadership - Kris Lehman

In my career as an executive leader in education and the nonprofit sector, the most successful teams I have been part of foster strong financial success by pairing business acumen with curiosity and compassion. These ideas pair beautifully and I want to be part of creating opportunities to grow our wisdom around these ideas, and to connect to others who share this vision.

My toolbox (that I want to share with you!):

  • Curiosity and commitment to education and evolving tools

  • Intentional gathering with people who share my values and my "why" 

  • Alongside my career, I have been cultivating a personal practice of meditation and presence that has offered me more creativity, empathy, clarity, and peace

Together we will create experiences for all three -- a place to gain knowledge and practical tools, practices for reflection, presence, and integration, and a community living and leading with compassion and curiosity.
