Doing the Limbo: Navigating the space in between - Create relationships, not distance

What happens in this crazy world, when our old familiar geographic and organizational boundaries are redefined by a global economy and social media? Do these new spaces strand us in an "in between" limbo, or are we doing a new dance to make the most of them?

Join Laura Blankenship, Barbara Ganley (coordinator) and Nancy White as we open with three stories about new spaces and then join us in a game naming the practices as dances (rather than leaving us half way to Hades!)
