Joni Parker-Roach,
Groton, MA, became intrigued with tapestry weaving several years ago.
Combining patterns in nature, colors and mandalas she creates tapestries that are not just
aesthetically pleasing but that have an energetic balancing, meditative, and healing effect on the
spaces in which they hang. |

The East Coast venue for the event was in the third floor ballroom of Patrick and
Joni Parker-
Roach's 200 year old home in Groton Center, Massachusetts. |

Building on the
success of the youth-oriented program during the SoL Global Forum 2003 , members
of the SoL Youth and Education Network (YEN) will lead this workshop. It is intended
for youth
(ages 13+) and their teachers/parents/mentors/coaches who want to work together to learn and
develop powerful leadership concepts and practices enabling youth to make a difference in their lives,
families, schools, and communities.
Attendees will
be exposed to the disciplines of organizational learning—systems thinking, mental
models, team learning, shared vision, and personal mastery—in this experiential and fun workshop.
On Tuesday, June 28, participants will also have the opportunity to attend two of the keynote
sessions of the Seventh Annual Meeting of SoL, which is being held concurrently in the same hotel.
A major component of the workshop will be the active practice of the five disciplines through the
completion of a special project. Participants will also investigate ways in which they can apply the
workshop experience in co-creating an ongoing community of learners. Tentative Agenda
