Time Off

June 29, 2020 – July 2, 2020

How might we...

  • Sustainability: How might Change Elemental be more sustainable?
    • How might I reduce my experience of overwhelm and anxiety when dealing with big complex projects or too many projects?

Hypothesis

If we close the WHOLE organization for a week, it will allow for much needed rest and renewal.
