Dear Consultant Members,

Many of you have expressed interest in participating in SoL¹s programs, but
the tuition was too high. Now, we are pleased to offer you a special tuition
of just $995 for the remaining SoL programs in 2009. Please see links and
brief descriptions below.

As Sherry Immediato mentioned in her recent e-mail to the community, ³SoL
and its offerings have provided a space for practice, companionship and
insight towards realizing one¹s purpose².

The programs are also a great opportunity to strengthen your relationship
with potential or current clients by inviting them to attend the program
with you. Consultants who came with their clients in the past valued the
experience as a possibility to work together on deeper issues and build on a
shared experience. To support you in this opportunity we are happy to extend
the SoL member tuition to your clients and offer you, personally, an even
lower tuition for the programs: $500 when you come with one client and $0
(no tuition) when you come with two or more clients (clients would pay the
full member tuition.)

Here are the remaining programs for 2009 to which this offer applies:

* Leading and Learning for Sustainability
       May 6-8, Hotel Monaco, Portland, Oregon
       http://www.solonline.org/announcements/item?item_id=21461147

* Foundations for Leadership Program
       September 23-25, Boston Area

       (weblink TBD, please refer to May weblink if needed)

We will also be offering the Executive Champions¹ Workshop from August 18-21
at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, VT. This workshop is by invitation only.
We welcome suggestions from you if you think one of your clients might be
interested in participating. After reviewing your suggestions with the
faculty we¹d be happy to extend an invitation to your client(s) . For more

Thank you for your interest and support. Please feel free to contact me if
you have questions.

Best regards,

Leading and Learning for Sustainability
May 6-8, 2009 with Peter Senge and other leading practitioners
Hotel Monaco, Portland OR
(this program will also be offered November 18-20, in Washington, DC)

A workshop for leaders of all sorts who are passionate about building more
sustainable organizations, value chains, industries and communities. It is
co-sponsored by the Executive Development Center of the Willamette
University, Portland, OR. This workshop is well worth the money if you or
your company or community is working to integrate sustainable practices.
Sign up by Friday, April 10 and receive a free hotel night.

Sustainability is not a problem to be solved. It is a future to be created.
Leadership is not about position or formal authority but the capacity of
human communities to shape futures that people truly desire. This workshop
will be a synthesis of core organizational learning disciplines - systems
thinking, mental models and collaborative inquiry, personal mastery and
building shared vision - and the practical know-how developed within the SoL
Sustainability Consortium over the past decade, much of which is captured in
Peter Senge¹s new book, The Necessary Revolution: How Individuals And
Organizations Work Together To Create A Sustainable World.

In particular, we will focus on:
·      How these core learning disciplines can build 'learning for
sustainability' capabilities: seeing systems, collaborating across
boundaries, and shifting from reactive problem solving to creating new
futures;
·      How to understand the basic systems that shape the modern economy -
food and water, energy, material production and distribution, and the side
effects of these how these systems function (like waste and toxicity,
excessive concentration of power, and persisting gaps between rich and poor)
- and how these systems are starting to shift; and
·      Practical insights into shifting these systems: how organizations and
communities are developing new strategies, practices, and ways of thinking
for innovation.

What participants in the most recent program said about their experience:
·      ³The continued practice work on integrating sustainability,
leadership and organizational learning was so much more than words.²
·      ³The course gave me new tools for communicating about the difficult
aspects of sustainability.²
·      ³I gained a deeper appreciation for the dynamics of systems thinking
and the application of a systemic view on sustainability. I now can take
higher leverage action in working on complex challenges in my organization.²


Executive Champions¹ Workshop (by invitation only)
August 18-21, 2009 with Peter Senge, Trapp Family Lodge, Stowe, VT
The Executive Champions¹ Workshop is a special setting for nurturing new
thinking and relationships among executive leaders in today¹s rapidly
changing economic and social landscape. Through a series of strategic
dialogues on issues of most concern to participants, our intent is to tap
the wisdom that resides, often below the surface, in our collective
experience. The format is designed to build capacity for conducting
conversations that matter with potentially large numbers of people while
applying organizational learning tools that foster reflection, systems
thinking and strategic conversation.

Offered by invitation for executives who are champions of change, the ECW is
a unique opportunity to reflect, refocus, and recharge, preciously rare
activities in today's frenetic business world. The workshop is organized
around in-depth strategic dialogues on a small number of key issues, and is
a unique opportunity for deep conversation among like-minded executives
focused on strategic issues that are shaping the future of institutions
worldwide. Sessions utilize specific methods like ³knowledge cafes,² and
³embodied presence² practices, that maximize the quality of attention and
conversation among participants. This approach allows small groups to
penetrate deeply into key issues, along with the cross-pollination of ideas.

The ECW is not a training session. Nor is it a typical conference. It is
both personal and substantive in the way that only deep conversation among
peers can be. Participants come from diverse organizations around the world,
where they are in the top 2-3 levels of management responsibility. Indeed,
more than anything, it is the diversity of the participants and their common
commitment to foster fundamental management innovations that makes the ECW a
powerful experience.

In addition to this annual event, sessions are also held periodically in
Europe, Asia and South America.


Foundations for Leadership Program
September 23-25, 2009 with Peter Senge and Beth Jandernoa, Boston Area
The purpose of this session is to explore the sources of our leadership.
Leadership is both deeply personal and inherently collective. At its essence
it concerns the capacity of a human community to shape its destiny and, in
particular, to bring forth new realities in line with people's deepest
aspirations. Participants will come away with a renewed understanding of how
they can facilitate change, both within their organizations and in their
personal lives. This program goes deeply into the domains of personal
mastery, collaborative inquiry, and the systems perspective applied to
sustaining profound change. The session includes a few interactive lectures,
many paired and small group exercises, a simulation game, large group
dialogue and regular opportunities for personal reflection. It is
appropriate both as a development experience for emerging leaders and a
renewal opportunity for seasoned veterans. Small teams are welcome to attend
to develop their collective leadership.

The Foundations for Leadership workshop places a strong emphasis on the core
learning competency of a creative orientation and the discipline of personal
mastery.

Participants spend significant time developing their personal vision as well
as one they desire for their organization. Much of the learning arises
through the interplay of personal and interpersonal work. The special
contribution of this leadership course comes as people discover the profound
connections between personal mastery and systems thinking, seeing that deep
change in our social systems and in oneself are inseparable from each other.
