Several community designers/curators within the Middle Circle's network have been working hard to develop an amazing quarterly community gathering called "The Lab" in Santa Rosa. It involves music, food, meaningful conversation, and creative activities, just like Middle Circle's large quarterly gatherings. Check it out!

WHAT IS “THE LAB”?
The Lab is a creative discovery and community building experience for teams and groups. Our objective is to uncover, explore and reignite creativity while building community.

Over lightly facilitated conversation and creative activities, participants connect over a shared meal, good music, hearty laughs and meaningful conversations.

The Lab is a collaboration between Daniel Weinzveg and Alexa Cole.

WHAT DO PEOPLE DO IN “THE LAB”?
We call it “The Lab” because we create a container in which participants get to experiment with his/her creative expressions. Through facilitated conversation and activities, you will engage in meaningful dialogue and creative discovery in a safe and encouraging environment. During these fun and thought-provoking Labs, explore your passions, pursuits and shared experiences.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATING IN “THE LAB”?
Studies show that creative thinking and laughter are the keys to breakthroughs and developing stronger relationships. The Lab helps you to reignite and discover your creative self while building a diverse community. The Lab is about accomplishing all this while having fun, laughing, and engaging in an experience that highlights and develops creativity and our connections to one another.
