Thinking Environment
A Thinking Environment gives individuals the time and space to think independently, supported by a listener who provides uninterrupted, generative attention. This approach is based on the belief that people have the ability to generate their own ideas and solutions. By fostering care, respect, and connection, it allows individuals to better understand and respond to their thoughts and emotions, enhancing the quality of their thinking.
Thinking Environment Experience
Be still, be at ease, hear your own thoughts, make order.
Experience Thinking Pairs at NO COST.
​
Discover the strength of a Thinking Environment to generate your thinking. When the ten components of the Thinking Environment are present, we will be listening to ignite your human mind!
​
No previous experience is necessary. We will begin with an orientation, rounds, thinking pairs, and finish with appreciation.

Parents & Catechists:
Curate a Life You Love in 2025
Spend this time for yourself, hear your desires, and see and examine assumptions that block you.
This is a safe place for you to think. To feel. To say what needs to be said and to work out what you most want and need in your life for this new year.
In the group, you will experience listening in a way that is powerfully transformative and generative.
The only thing standing between you and the life you love is your own attention and dedication. Knowing what you think or feel or want to say. The answer is inside of you…sign up today and have the best year yet.

Atrium Community Visioning
Lead your community courageously with vision and your whole heart.
Imagine … a Joyful, life-filled community of all ages gathering to know our Good Shepherd more. Full inspired atrium staff. Interested and involved parents. Solid atrium attendance. Materials are complete and well cared for. The best part of the parish. All are welcome.
We all want to belong to something that matters. Jennifer will facilitate your community using the ten components of a Thinking Environment to know what is values and what outcomes it desires. Then it is time for prayer and living the plan outlined in this time.
“Leading in these times is a sophisticated process of articulating a vision compellingly and getting the best from people so that their work manifests that vision.” Nancy Kline
“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences and failing to achieve anything useful”
― Margaret Wheatley
“A leader’s first job is to create a thinking environment. Every subsequent act gains quality from there. Getting the best from people means getting their best thinking.” Nancy Kline
