2021 Manager’s Workshop Oct. 11, 2021: "I Dream of Wild ____________"
Marcus Young, in collaboration with Research & Innovation, and the Sustainability and Public Health Division, will engage 200 MnDOT Managers in a Workshop session to do the serious work of dreaming, connecting, and taking a collective breath after the challenging years of COVID.
Framing questions and statements
- How do we cultivate a familiarity (and maybe practice) of far-reaching and wild dreaming alongside and paired with the technical, the procedural, the other-practical work of the Minnesota Dept of Transportation?
- How do we do this dreaming with our whole selves and with each other?
- The session starts with grounding in breath and body, acknowledging and working with limitations and opportunities of screen and technology. Stretching ones self, new muscles.
- We encourage play, honor boundaries, and practice vulnerability. We touch that part of ourselves that wants the world to be very different, much better.
- We value participation and everyone's voice.
Learning objectives
- Embodied Self, Breathing and Movement
- Sharing Transportation Stories
- Creative reflection for leaders, demonstration of vulnerability
- Collective Creative Visualization Exercise: Imagining into the Future
