Sustainability: Learn & Contribute
You're Invited! Join IIDA NE, Exterus Business Furniture, Teknion, Shaw & Architex, as well as your fellow A&D community members, for an afternoon of learning AND contributing to sustainability. Vendors will be at the Exterus showroom to talk to you about their companies sustainability practices and provide information on CEU's to expand your knowledge further. We need YOU to bring your old samples (finishes, textiles, etc.) that you don't need anymore and our hosts will donate them to local schools art programs for reuse! We can't wait to see you!

Learn the Art of Kokedama
This ancient Japanese art form is derived from the bonsai practice, but offers a simpler, more affordable way for people to enjoy the tranquility of a Japanese garden in their own home. These “moss-ball” sculptures symbolize longevity and harmony with your surroundings. Come find your wabi-sabi with friends at this fun, learning workshop on kokedama. Presented by the Membership Committee.
Design Your Best Life!
Imagine it’s one year from today and you have a big grin on your face as you tell your colleagues and friends about the past year. You made some great decisions that benefited both your work and personal life. You clarified priorities. You took risks. You let go of things holding you back and trusted your instincts. You had more fun! And when everyone asks what made the biggest difference, you say “I changed my mindset and stopped letting stress rule my life!”
Join IIDA NE’s March 16th SPARK Series to design your best life! Structured like a wellness retreat workshop, you will engage in deep reflection and group sharing. The atmosphere will ignite laughter, honest conversations, and meaningful connections. Just as you all excel at helping your clients create beautiful interior spaces, let’s now do the same for you!
The workshop will have three parts:
Part 1 – My best life: This deeply relaxing, creative, guided visualization will help you out of your logical, analytical “thinking” mind and into your heart. The vision for your best life will come alive, illuminating your core values and what really matters to you. This visualization’s prompts allow you deeper insights into both your work and personal life.
Part 2 – My wheel of life: This exercise offers a valuable, high-level perspective on how fulfilled you are in the 10 major areas of your life. This visual assessment, coupled with your “best life” vision, will help you clarify your top priorities (and your commitment to action) for the coming weeks, months, and year.
Part 3 – Mindset Mastery: Nothing matters more than your mindset. Most people struggle with high levels of stress daily, which undermines one’s health, happiness, and overall success. You will explore your own stress, and practice gaining mastery over your mind to lock into the mindset needed to bring your “best life” vision to life!
Join us for this two-hour transformational workshop to kickstart your 2023 year off right! Molly Williams is a professional life coach armed with a multitude of holistic health practices. Her approach is powerful and unconventional, along with her informal title of “Ambassador of Joy!” www.mollywill.com
