TRAVEL PLANNING
If you are attending this event you must commit to attending all sessions and plan your travel with that in mind.
For an on time start, please plan to arrive at the Compass Center by 8:45am CT on Wednesday 8/21. If you are flying home Friday 8/23 please do not book a flight leaving before 5:30pm CT.
LOCAL LODGING & MEALS
When booking hotel accommodations, consider that the Compass Center is closer to Brentwood than downtown, but hotels in the Green Hills neighborhood, downtown Nashville, and the Gulch are all within a reasonable distance to Valor. If you want a more unique Airbnb experience, East Nashville is the most eclectic part of town with a wider variety of restaurants, bars, and entertainment, albeit a bit further from Valor. Airbnb tends to be approximately the same cost as a moderately priced hotel in Nashville.
​
We will provide a light breakfast, coffee, snacks/drinks, and lunch on all 3 days of the training. You will be on your own for dinner each evening, please review our Visitor Guide for recommendations.
ENGAGEMENT & PRESENCE
As you prepare to travel for this event you should let your colleagues know that you will be accessible during any core session times. Circle 101 is a very active training experience with lots of practice and requires your full attunement to maximize learning. We want to preview for your planning that during sessions, all participants are directed to put personal devices such as phones and laptops away to avoid distractions and to be fully "dropped-in" and present.
REQUIRED PRE-WORK
(30 min) Please complete pages 13-15 of the Life Story 1.0 My Artifact Badge and bring your printed reflection and tangible artifact or photo of the artifact with you to training. Please note that because this pre-work requires bringing a physical item to training you must complete this task before you travel to Nashville. You will share this pre-work in session to allow for more authentic practice so completing this before you arrive is critical for our collective learning.
