We all offer our talents, skills, and knowledge to others in our personal and professional lives. In this workshop, we will focus on invigorating those offerings by examining the essence of service using some unexpected processes and thoughtful reflection. We will explore and embrace the value of lightening up and loosening up in order to level up our emphasis on service. This 1/2 day session will take place on Monday, July 31st from 1:00pm – 5:00pm at the Westin. Registration Deadline: July 21, 2023
Facilitators: Anthony Willoughby, Don Opatrny, Doutzen Groothof, Polina Crotty
Embark on an experiential journey into the many dimensions of visible and invisible wealth and what it means to truly prosper. This Pre-Rendezvous Workshop brings together the ancient wisdom of our ancestors, the insights of modern indigenous communities, and our own values and life experiences, to broaden our thinking and come to greater clarity about our purpose. Led by Don Opatrny, Principal of the Lovins Group, British explorer Anthony Willoughby, and elder of the Maasai people Emmanuel Mankura (joining us live from his home in Kenya) we will experiment with the fast-working, emotionally engaging, and non-threatening methodology they have developed, which is enabling practitioners and clients in the family wealth arena to break out of habitual patterns and articulate inspiring new visions. We will ask essential questions and chart courses to game-changing answers for us, our clients, and the larger community. This full-day session will take place on Monday, July 31st from 9:00am – 4:00pm at the Westin.
For those who are looking for a true Colorado experience and some real adventure! Participants will meet early at the Westin Westminster and travel to Idaho Springs (45 minutes) to the Colorado Adventure Center for a White Water Rafting trip (intermediate option). Followed by lunch at the adventure center from one of the amazing local restaurants in the small mountain town of Idaho Springs. The group will then drive up Mt. Evans – the highest paved road in North America! Beautiful and scenic drive to the top (alpine lakes, massive granite walls and strands of twisted, ancient bristlecone pine, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep prancing around). Then remain at the summit parking lot with amazing views or walk ~100 yards for a bit more of a view!
Transportation will be provided. We’ll be back in time for the optional opening reception of Rendezvous.
