A great learning program places a lot of emphasis on environment and leaves a lot of room for spontaneity. The "program" piece can exist and have plenty of structure, provided it can be scaled back if appropriate. Programming is a springboard or catalyst for learning, and is powerful, although not universally necessary. The thing to remember is that all programs are not created equal. A good program takes advantage of and nurtures a good environment. The "sage on the stage" model doesn't breed engagement, but I've seen engagement, learning, and even the catalyst for transformation in good workshops. Thanks, Andrew Hi Josh,
