Workshops
These dynamic, award-winning courses unfold in two distinct parts. We cap enrolment in small, collaborative venues to maximize instructor and participant interaction.
Engaging morning lectures deliver transformative approaches. These mix focused reflection, research, and individualized assessment. After lunch, afternoon sessions immerse us in real-world scenarios. We apply and adapt proven approaches in our own ways—either collaborative or solo role-play situations. Opportunities for professional cross-pollination, shared experience, and safe risk-free decision-making are often profound for participants.

Authentic LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT—The 5R Approach (Monday, June 3)

Venue—The Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden
Connect and learn in a relaxed collaborative space 10 minutes from the Phoenix Airport and many well-rated hotels. Too often, our tribal relations planning and decision-making occurs in fast-pace, stressful settings. Good News! We’ll evolve our transformative approaches by working in an enriching, natural setting—a true hallmark of Southwest ecosystem conservation.
Participants will receive free passes for the entire Botanical Gardens facilities. Afternoon breakout sessions will find a remarkable environment for thoughtful, reflective table top exercises.
