Coming Spring 2026 ||
The Leadership Studio is an Ethical Leadership Studies Laboratory created in partnership with Walter Earl Fluker & Associates (WEFA). We offer workshops for organizations, private groups, individuals, and pre-college programs, aimed at identifying, recruiting, and training a new generation of ethical leaders. Our focus is on nurturing leaders who are spiritually disciplined, intellectually astute, and morally anchored.
The primary objective of WEFA is to present a model of ethical leadership. WEFA's work is grounded in the values and principles articulated by Martin Luther King Jr., who called for “The Beloved Community,” and Howard Thurman, who emphasized "The Search for Common Ground."
WEFA believes that the ultimate goal of all human endeavors is the flourishing of relationships founded on integrity, inclusivity, empathy, respect, courage, justice, and compassion.
We, the FableFolk, are honored to be partnering with Walter Earl Fluker & Associates and present the Hudson Valley with The Leadership Studio, helping to shape the leaders of tomorrow.

“Sometimes we take our own lives so seriously that there is scarcely room on the planet for any other life.”
- “Thank God for Humor!” from Howard Thurman’s Meditations of the Heart.
Levity and ego come head-to-head in this two-day improvisation workshop centered around allyship.
Starting in the unconscious and ending up somewhere near taking yourself less seriously, this improv comedy course explores our past, our dreams, and our ethics by taking ourselves out of the equation to better see the world around us.
Participants will work on a stillness of mind that allows them to step back from their own point of view and listen, think, and empathize with a powerful soft focus. This workshop will take what you know about improv comedy and push the boundaries of humor to truly discover what it means to laugh at being human.
If improv is something you’ve always wanted to try or perhaps you sense there’s something deeper to explore, then come see what’s beyond the average comedy class. We invite participants to seek out our blind spots, laugh at the antics of our own decision-making, and experience the joy of being alive through another’s eyes. Developed by Connor Bond and Hampton Fluker, Improv for Allies asks participants to live in the questions while having the courage to laugh at the answers.
