Learn about The AZBIL Cherry
Singing Tree of Expanded Openness and Learning

The Azbil Cherry Singing Tree of Expanded Openness and Learning is a result of The Science of Creativity and Collaboration training that Singing Tree Facilitators Wanda Whitaker and Laurie Marshall taught to the Azbil engineers. The multi-cultural, intergenerational team designed and created the mural together. The team leveraged the science of creativity and collaboration to practice increased efficiency and teamwork, while also bridging the gaps between cultures.

FAQs

  • Through collaborative community artwork and connection exercises, we facilitate shared creative experiences to lay the foundation for success, spark innovation and envision a positive future connected to what matters for your team/community

  • Singing Tree Murals have been created all around the world in organizations, schools, communities and even countries recovering from war. Students, professionals, elders, cultural communities have all benefited from this process. It’s designed to offer problem-solving, connection and innovation amongst a wide variety of groups.

  • There are many benefits the Singing Tree process brings to a group. But what makes it unique is that it’s a way to connect and develop people without needing to learn something new to apply. It’s experiential and creativity not only creates connection but it also enhances well-being. In an epidemic of burnout, this is a great benefit. It’s also a way for participants to express themselves, connect, share ideas and open up to creative solutions in real time.

  • Dr. Sweta along with possible other co-facilitators will lead your team. She is an experienced facilitator and a former professor with over 20 years experience. She is trained in several modalities and is a certified Step Into Your Moxie - vocal empowerment facilitator. Dr. Sweta can incorporate additional tools and trainings while customizing the experience for your organizations needs.

  • Another unique gift with this process is that it can accommodate participants both in-person and remote. There is also a wide capacity for involvement. The facilitator will work with a lead design team from your organization on site. Participants from all over the company can add their ideas and expression via leaves and birds that will be added to the final mural.

  • Absolutely not. Dr Sweta herself is not a trained artist and has little skill. This is another unique feature of this process. Through creativity and collaboration we find a way to get everyones ideas expressed in a beautiful way.
