"Watch for groups of fellow travelers with whom you can journey. Take the plunge, BE prepared to learn – to be disappointed, to be energized, to be up and down but most of all to learn – about what works for you, what engages you, what matters to you, where you feel you can make a difference." - Getting to Maybe, Dr. Frances Westley

This is a special event notice for a unique partnership between the PLAN Institute for Caring Citizenship & Social Innovation Generation (SiG).

Please join Dr. Frances Westley at the Thinking Like A Movement Retreat from January 23 - 27th, 2011 at the Sunshine Coast, a 40 minute ferry ride from Vancouver.

Thinking Like a Movement is for leaders in the citizen sector who want to extend the impact, durability and scale of their work. Please join us for four days of intensive learning with other social change leaders exploring the complexities of systemic change while reflecting on our personal roles and responsibilities.

Together we will:

  • Explore the role of social innovation in creating resilient individuals, families, communities and societies
  • Reflect on deep patterns that lead to high impact social change
  • Discover the catalytic potential of social enterprise and social finance
  • Invest in the creation of inclusive, caring communities
  • Create a vibrant learning community

Thinking Like a Movement takes place in the beautiful, tranquil setting of the Sunshine Coast, a 40 minute ferry ride from Vancouver. Together we will take full advantage of this beautiful space to learn through theory, stories, humour, reflection, dialogue, and celebration.

Come join us for this inspiring leadership retreat while taking advantage of the relaxing amenities of the beautiful Painted Boat Resort including, sauna, pool, fitness facilities and the local marine community of Madeira Park.
