You've received this invitation because most likely you know someone in The Grove collective.

We at The Grove welcome you to join with us in our first Dojo, a playful prototype of what we intend will become a regular series. We conceive of the Dojo as 'a house of practice, a place for pursuit of the Way'. Dojo is a place where The Grove, a community of practitioners, change agents, innovators, intrapreneurs, leaders and active members of civil society, meets to learn through practice.

Learning new ways of doing and being is increasingly vital as we seek to meet the challenges of today, and co-create the emerging future.

A distinct feature of The Grove’s Dojo is our intention to learn by doing, in a supportive environment with others. We can then move into other places, where we do our work within organisations, groups and communities better equipped to bring new possibilities and potentialities into being.

In this Dojo, we will explore "How we have conversations matters". This is inspired by an article written by Peregrin Chiara about the qualities, conditions and ways of being in conversation at the personal and collective level. These ideas are important to reflect on and consider. They are even more powerful and challenging to practice and embody. This is what we invite you to experience and join with us in practicing at The Grove's first Dojo.
