Earlier this year I visited Oahu Hawaii to support the now dormant ALC Oahu. You can read more about my time there in this detailed debrief.

Presenting Change Up at the Twin Oaks Communities Conference
Over Labor Day weekend, a small group of Agile Learning Facilitators attended the Twin Oaks Communities Conference in central Virginia to host a workshop titled Culture Hacking 101, covering the Agile Learning Center Change Up meetings and the Community Mastery Board. We wanted to share this ALC culture creation practice with people who work hard …
Last Week in Oaho
The second day of the ALC Experience was the start of my final week. The energy is so very high. We went to the skate park where some of us skated and others drew pictures with me. Then off to the Bishop Museum! Where I learned about the formation of Hawaii from volcanos and in the …
ALC Oahu Experience Day 1
The past three weeks have felt really small and empty. With spring break and two weeks missing over half our kids the energy has been a bit low and mellow. It felt a little scary even. Today, however, began a free “experience” week here at ALC Oahu. We’ve invited interested families to come for three …
Frustration and Learning
I’ve been doing frustrating work over the past few days. Hours of my time have been dedicated to wading through challenging problems that push the limits of my knowledge. I’ve been working on a Shopify store for one of the ALC Oahu parents who is hosting me and working on the ALC style themes for …
Pitch for ALC + The Cut collaboration

They are currently creating a pitch for Box Jelly, the co-working space where ALC Oahu currently resides. The general idea is to host weekly community lunches in the co-working space where organic locally sourced food is made available to …
Upgrade: or why the network matters

This was my first solo facilitation experience and also my first ever involvement in anything related to educating youth. Running off to the other side of the nation to do something I’d never done was scary and …
Vacation – Week 7, 8, 9 in Oahu
I’ve been having such a blast up in here in Waialua that I missed 2 weeks of reflective blog posts! I started week 7 with cutting open some coconuts fresh off the tree, best water I’ve ever had. Later that day my friend Katie flew in. She is the same friend who came to Everett Washington just over a …
Hiking, Snorkeling, and Games – Week Six in Oahu
I moved up to the North Shore of Oahu over the weekend to a place called Mokuleia. I’m staying with @seamus and his family. It’s a much better setup than my previous place. I’ve agreed to share 6 hours of web work per week with Lisa in exchange for the room. This week has been very busy …
Sharks Cove, Websites, and Murals – Week Five in Oahu
Today is my last day in my Manoa apartment. I’ve been dealing with a bit of a pest problem there and it’s nice to be leaving that behind. I hope the next space I live in will have a desk, for I do quite a bit of work and sitting on a bed using a …
