Seeds of Change

Seeds of Change is an opportunity for our member change-makers to grow ideas into action plans. In a safe circle, you bring your idea for a project or business idea, and a question that you want to explore. 

For 15 minutes, you’ll have the benefit of clarifying questions, guidance, and possible connections with other members to help you take your project to the next level. Come back each quarter to celebrate your progress and receive the support you need to keep the momentum going.

For us, a qualifying project is any initiative that supports the five pillars of FWOCC:

HUMANITY – ECONOMY – ENVIRONMENT – HEALTH – EDUCATION

It could be a volunteer project, an offering from your business, or a new program you want to bring into your organization.

Seeds of Change

We welcome all members who have an idea or would simply like to support others who do and provide valuable feedback. Roles at the event will include:

Seed Holder – Come with your idea for impact and a question 

Nurturer – Come with your wisdom and connections to support the seed holder 

Witness – Come hold space and be inspired by the conversation 

Our next Seeds of Change session is coming up on Thursday, Oct 17th from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM PDT.

Collective Wisdom Circles

These circles provide opportunities for members to share their wisdom and learn from one another in a safe space that is hosted by a member with facilitation skills and expertise in the related topic.

The next Wisdom Circle is planned to start in early 2024. Stay tuned for more information.

Webinars, Workshops and Retreats

Workshops, webinars and retreats on a variety of topics of interest to members are offered. These “events” are currently all virtual. They provide an opportunity for members to showcase their expertise, connect with, and learn from one another.
