Join with members of our Western Montana community at the beautiful Sleeping Child Hot Springs to share ideas and grow our collective potential for good. Arrive beginning at 2PM and enjoy a snack. We will start promptly at 3PM. We will break for a buffet dinner, then have time for soaking in the hot springs as the last part of the event. Everyone is asked to please depart promptly at 9PM. Facilitated by Laura Garber and Kris Bayer.
IDEA SWAP! is a gathering and sharing of ideas, bright lights, and possibilities. We will each have the opportunity to:
*Share an idea with the whole group - everyone gets the floor for three minutes.
*Individually listen to and share with each member of the whole group - two minute 'speed dates' with everyone.
*Participate in a deeper conversation about an idea- using Open Space to source and select topics for group discussions.
*Share in a locally-sourced dinner buffet.
*Enjoy the healing waters of Sleeping Child Hot Springs for 45 minutes at the end of the event.
*Network.
*Shop the Silent Auction- contribute to and bid on items in our Repurpose-Regift-Recycle Silent Auction
