New business!

Today I sent the application to Brønnøysundregisteret to register not one, but two businesses. One that is mine and mine only, which sells templates to consultants or businesses who want to use a visual tool to gather the content of what they are doing (meetings, processes or whatever). It is called Skrible, and I've bought the domain www.skrible.net for it. Now I just need to figure out how to get a server, make a webpage etc., but that will be no problem I'm sure. The other business is an "ansvarlig selskap" that I'm sharing with my partner in crime Pouria. It will be a business that does systemic consultation using graphic tools (templates, graphic recording) and it is called Begripelig.
We are very excited about it, and looking forward to the first jobs:) We know it will be a hit!

This is us after we had just sent the application

Bowen Island - closing down the outpost

From Monday to Tuesday the entire team went to Xenia at Bowen Island to close down the outpost. Xenia is a beautiful retreat in the middle of the forrest, with horses, a pig, two cats and a dog...and a 1000 year old tree that is known to answer people's questions. We told the story of our stay, reflected upon our personal learning, and had a dialogue around conflicts that exist within the team. It was the perfect space for getting in touch with oneself and reflecting upon one's learning.

Saltspring island

Signe, Mads and I went to Saltspring island this week end to visit our contact person in BCGEU, Mary, and get a taste of the BC nature. It was so lovely! We arrived by ferry and Mary and her brother Peter were there to pick us up. We spent 1.5 hours at the local market where they had all sorts of different locally produced stuff - it was really nice! Then we went to Mary's farm to chill, talk, pat her fat, but really cute cat, and eat a wonderful meal. Today we went for a walk on the island, before we went home with the ferry. Tomorrow we're off again to a secret place with the rest of team 12 - exciting:)
