MOO is an acronym that describes a methodology for human connection. The acronym is explained in the session.
This experience is a journey into a pathway that assists how we engage in complex conversations and scenarios. This pathway of conversation is a key component to addressing circumstances and scenarios, both unexpected and intentional.
Attendees will then help create the start for the symbolic Common Threads driven installation, that will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Participants will exit the journey with a usable platform that will serve as an effective foundation for understanding, atonement, healing and community building.
