"Flow Circus offers an energetic training that balances playfulness with deeper lessons of mindfulness and mental flexibility. Library staff came away with new tools, not only in how to engage with teens, but also ways to apply mindfulness techniques to their own professional development. By lessening the pressure on themselves, librarians can better serve their communities with the tips and tricks taught by Dawn and Paul."

Cathy Lancaster, Youth Services Coordinator, Library of Michigan

The reviews are in...

Thank you for an energizing and inspiring training this afternoon for our Maryland library staff. It was the perfect blend of fun and personal and professional learning and growing...so many things applicable for our personal care as well as our work with colleagues and teens. I think this training came at a perfect time for them.

Carrie Sanders, Youth Services Coordinator, Maryland State Library

Paul and Dawn are tremendous! The combination of the skill toys and the principles behind the exercises they lead you through is a perfect learning pairing. Not only are workshop participants implementing the program at their own public libraries, my supervisor has asked me to lead our Library Development team through a few of the exercises for team building!

Custom Flop Ball for Island Park Public Library.

We got the Flop Balls and they are absolutely wonderful! So high quality and beautiful! They feel great! We can't wait to give them away for summer reading prizes!

Jessica Koenig, Library Director, Island Park Public Library

The team building results from engaging with Flow Circus proved to be more long lasting than studying a DISC profile, and a lot more fun!!

Michael Crumpton, Conference Chair, North Carolina Library Association

I always enjoy the challenges that are associated with the FLOP and the encouragement to practice mindfulness in such a fun way. By far the best staff development activities!!!!

Jennifer Sackett, Director, Lincoln County Public Library

Flow Circus created a fun atmosphere for staff training. Teamwork, achieving success, celebrating accomplishments were all highlighted in a fantastic way - through play! It was satisfying to see coworkers encourage each other and celebrate achievement as plates twirled, yo-yos spun, knots magically twisted and juggling balls in the air was not just an adage but a reality. This was truly a team-building experience!
