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 …
Set the Week Board for ALC Oahu
This tool is used at the start of each week to determine the offerings, trips, or group activities that are available to the community. I redesigned the ALC Oahu Set the Week board using recycled wood and whiteboard paint. Click to learn more about Set the Week and see examples from around the network.
Staff Kanban at ALC Oahu
The ALC Oahu Staff Kanban was upgraded with the introduction of intention setting and reflection rituals. By formatting the board to work on a monthly, weekly, and daily cycle. This way staff could better visualize what what was happening, when it was expected to be complete, and what work was coming up.

The general idea is to host weekly community lunches in the co-working space where organic locally sourced food is made available to …
Vacation – Week 7, 8, 9 in Oahu

Later that day my friend Katie flew in. She is the same friend who came to Everett Washington just over a …
Daily Intention Board
After sharing an awareness that ALC Oahu wasn't marking down individual intentions at the opening meeting each day one of the facilitators came up with an elegant solution in the form of the Daily Intention Board. Everyone puts their intentions on the board and marks intentions they wish to share. At the end of this board is referenced for reflection.
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 …
Staff CMB at ALC Oahu
For community agreements involving only the staff ALC Oahu created a staff Community Mastery Board. It is useful for determining community norms, building agreement around which tools to use, and a way to support interpersonal boundaries and growth. Due to ALC Oahu staff often working remotely it was decided to digitize the CMB. Click to learn more about that process.
