Performing the World '08 - Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
New York City, New York, October 2-5, 2008
Performing the World ’08 builds on the momentum of 2007’s PTW 4, which brought together 300 practitioners, scholars and community activists—educators, youth workers, researchers, psychologists and therapists, health and helping professionals, business people, artists and activists from 27 countries. PTW ’08 is bringing the international performance movement to the streets of New York—and introducing the performance movement to the communities of New York City.
Performing the World is an international community of people who recognize performance as a powerful developmental activity for social-cultural transformation. Open to all -- performers, educators, artists, scholars, therapists, health and helping professions, business professionals, youth workers, activists, community organizers -- it's a community for sharing, creating and collaborating.

The 2nd Annual Happy Healthy Lawyers: The Business Case for Happiness
Ann Arbor, MI, October 24, 2008
The business world has long viewed the health and happiness of its employees as essential to maintaining a competitive edge. Legal employers, in contrast, have been slow to accept this notion, treating workplace initiatives designed to improve attorney well-being—such as flexible schedules, gym memberships, and intensive mentoring programs—as costly and indulgent. This conference makes “the business case for happiness” in the legal workplace, examining how and why these types of initiatives boost not only attorney well-being, but the bottom line. In this one-day event, local and national experts will showcase their ideas, and provide tools that will empower you to make your legal workplace both happier and more productive.
