We believe that a better future is possible if we each take on the challenge of bettering our own thinking and communication habits while creating safer spaces where all feel heard, valued, and included. While options abound to learn about how thinking, communication, neuroscience, psychology, culture, bias, and other factors affect how we perceive and interact with the world, there are limited opportunities to apply and practice what you’ve learned and to build new habits. Neuro Atelier allows you to both learn and practice vital skills that are proven to strengthen your thinking, decision-making, creativity, innovation, communication, and leadership skills in a supportive, diverse community environment that includes live practice sessions, curated courses, and networking opportunities… plus loads of inspiration and fun. Our community is a place to be yourself and to appreciate, learn from, and connect with others just as they are. We’re not about being buttoned-up, having executive presence, or expecting you to be anything other than who you are… we cherish moments when we can truly hear and understand each other, broaden our horizons, and enjoy growing stronger together in ways we never could alone. The core of our practice is regular VTS (Visual Thinking Strategies) conversations that allow you to build new brain muscles (or neural pathways if you want to get geeky about it), connect with a diverse community, have fun, and learn something new in engaging, interesting ways. Past participants of our sessions have remarked how amazed they are that we can all look at the same thing, but have completely different, eye-opening, and fascinating ideas about it. We’ve also heard that our sessions helped to stoke creative fires that have been hidden for far too long, that people leave feeling engaged and energized while also feeling calm (as you might after meditating), and that people felt less isolated and more connected (even over Zoom). We hope you'll join us!
