SUMMARY:Dent Collaboration Weekend:  Maui 2025
DESCRIPTION:Register for Dent Collaboration Weekend: Maui 2025 \nI’m thrilled to be heading to Maui for Dent’s 2025 Collaboration Weekend! Every Dent gathering leaves me inspired and energized\, and I know this one will be no exception. The chance to connect with such a brilliant community\, work on meaningful projects\, and recharge in such a stunning setting feels like the perfect way to end the year. I can’t wait to dive into the conversations\, creative sessions\, and (of course) some of Maui’s unforgettable experiences. \n$299 for Dent Passport Holders/Dent 2026 Registrants \nOur 2025 Maui Collaboration Weekend offers immersive experiences focused on bringing together members of the Dent community in a beautiful\, inspiring setting for productive work\, meaningful connections\, and creative activities. This 2025 event will serve as a change of pace/venue and for this next year will replace our traditional annual January San Diego Collaboration Weekend. \nOur sleeping room block is limited; this event is currently reserved for paid Passport Members and those who have registered (or have a credit) for Dent Santa Fe 2026. Hotel registration details will be included in your registration confirmation email. \nLocation: Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa \nThe Sheraton is an oceanfront oasis situated on the most prime expanse of Ka’anapali Beach\, where Pu’u Keka’a (Black Rock) meets the Pacific. It offers an unparalleled oceanfront location that has consistently provided Dent groups with both the inspiring natural backdrop and premium amenities that enable collaboration and connection. The resort’s unique position at Black Rock Beach provides direct access to world-class snorkeling and marine life experiences right from the hotel grounds\, while offering the kind of elevated hospitality and meeting facilities. \nThe Sheraton Maui has offered Dent an exceptional group rate of $299 per night for Run of Ocean (ocean view) rooms with a discounted resort fee of just $25 per day\, representing significant savings from standard rates. This ocean view rate is a substantial upgrade from previous years when $379 secured only garden view rooms\, and the group block includes the standard room extensions of 2-3 additional discounted nights on either side of the core December 5-7\, 2025 event dates. A custom reservation link will be provided soon to all registrants. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nCollaborative Work Sessions: Attendees advance personal or professional projects in a supportive environment.\nTalks & Workshops: Denter-led sessions and informational presentations.\nCurated Dinners: Thoughtfully orchestrated social activities and meals.\nAquatic Activities: Taking advantage of Maui’s incredible waters and marine life.\nSmall Group Dynamics: Intimate atmosphere for deep connections and collaboration.\n\nPlanned Activities: \n\nInsider Restaurant Experiences: Curated dinners at some of the best “insider” restaurants on the island\, featuring locally-sourced cuisine at Denter-preferred venues.\nBlack Rock Beach Snorkeling & Orientation: For those comfortable with snorkeling\, we will assist Denters by faciltating a guided snorkeling and orientation session at the famous Black Rock Beach\, providing a first-hand look at Maui’s marine ecosystem in an easily accessible location right at Kaanapali.\n“Secret” Turtle Bay Snorkel Excursion: (conditions permitting): 15 minutes north of the Sheraton is Honokeana Cove\, here the sea turtles are prolific\, offering snorkelers an intimate encounter with Hawaiian green sea turtles in a more secluded\, less touristy location. Be advised: this is for experienced snorkelers who are prepared to deal with a rocky entry (no beach).

SUMMARY:Facilitation Lab Summit 2026 | Voltage Control
DESCRIPTION:Facilitation Lab Summit 2026\n\n\n\n\n8th Annual Facilitator Summit\n\n\n\n\nIn 2026\, we’re heading to the edge—of comfort zones\, ideas\, group dynamics\, and systems. \nThis year’s theme\, Edges\, invites us to explore the boundaries that define\, challenge\, and transform us. Together\, we’ll ask: \n\nWhere are we stretching\, resisting\, or growing\nWhat happens at the edge of our understanding?\nHow do facilitators help others navigate thresholds with skill and care?\n\nOver two immersive days\, you’ll engage in hands-on sessions designed to help you not just understand the edge—but work with it. Whether you’re stepping into uncertainty\, navigating complexity\, or holding space for others to grow\, the edge is where change begins. \nWhy “Edges”?\nBecause this is where the magic happens. \nEdges are where discomfort meets growth. Where resistance meets possibility. Where innovation begins. Whether you’re leading change\, navigating complexity\, or evolving your own practice\, this summit will help you see the edge not as a stopping point—but as an invitation. \nLet’s explore it together. \n*All sales for summits are final. The registered participant may invite another person to substitute their place at any time at no charge. \n**Prices increase on Jan 7th — Register now and save! \n***Alumni Discount ticket pricing is for graduates of our certification program.
