What to expect in
The School of Practice

We can make meaningful change happen in our lives, workplaces and communities when we engage beyond the intellectual and activate the emotional, physical, spiritual and imaginary realms. The learning experience in The School of Practice reflects this. This is a holistic and care-centered experience that blends knowledge-sharing with a community of practice.

Together is the way. As we learn, we care for ourselves and eachother, nurturing our community and developing our power as a collective.

Co-Founded by Daniele-Jocelyne Otou and Erin Willett, New Room was born out of a creative realization and conscious acknowledgment that a better way is possible. A better way to learn; a better way to work; a better way to do business; but more importantly - a better way to connect to one another.
