Do you recognize this in your online workshops?

  • Participants keep cameras off
  • Energy drops after the first 20 minutes
  • Interaction feels forced or artificial
  • The session becomes more transactional than meaningful

Online learning has become common, but truly engaging online workshops are still rare.

This workshop uses simple, human-centered strategies grounded in Montessori principles and adult learning, not more technology.

What we focus on:

This practical, hands-on workshop focuses on how we deliver learning online, not on changing the content itself.

Grounded in Montessori pedagogy and adult learning, it explores how structure, environment, movement, and human presence shape engagement, even in virtual spaces.

Rather than relying on complex tools or platforms, you will work with:

  • Your physical space as a dynamic “studio”
  • Simple materials for reflection and interaction
  • Thoughtful design that supports connection and participation

This is not about changing what you teach. It is about transforming how you show up online.

This is not about changing what you teach.
It is about transforming how you show up online.

Workshop Takeaways:

  • Design online workshops that
    actively engage participants through reflection, movement, and simple materials
  • Use your physical space intentionally to create presence, energy, and visual interest on screen
  • Translate familiar in-person tools,
    such as post-it notes or hands-on materials, into effective online formats
  • Facilitate with greater confidence, ease, and flexibility in virtual environments

Key Workshop Topics:

  • Preparing your online environment intentionally
  • Translating in-person tools to virtual formats
  • Using your physical space in dynamic ways
  • Designing interactive moments without relying on tech
  • How co-facilitation increases connection and engagement

Lisa led an online community-building workshop with my faculty team, and it was an absolute joy. We laughed so much over Zoom! and quickly forgot that we were all in different locations. She helped us step out of our comfort zones and genuinely connect with one another. We still talk about the funny scenarios she created to this day.
