"What fuels and enables great improv are the very same things we need to build relational infrastructure of our organizations. Things like cultivating presence, empathy, supporting each other, and being agile in the moment... Improv is about loosening our grip on control, which can be a difficult thing, but when we experience that in the context of play... it builds that visceral experience of maybe I don't need control in this other situation in work or life."David approaches life and the world with a growing curiosity, wonder, and a posture of "Yes". He savors Ignatian and Jesuit spirituality and longs to enter the Story more each day, sensing the deep, present, joyful Love of Jesus, who calls us Beloved. David lives in Bellingham, Washington and is the founder of BePresentDiscoverJoy. He facilitates improv workshops for non-profits, businesses, schools, churches, and for people who are currently or formerly incarcerated, and in recovery from addiction. His workshops are designed for participants to cultivate presence, discover joy, and build resilience.To learn more about Holden Village, visit: www.holdenvillage.org or to listen to more audio recordings visit: http://audio.holdenvillage.orgThe Holden Village Podcast is accessible through Apple iTunes, Google Play Music, Spotify, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, and most podcast apps.
