Workshops

1. "Oops, I spilt my story…"
Every story we tell is also a story we didn't tell. This workshop is a chance to mess with your story constructions to see if other meanings can emerge. This workshop is for anyone that uses stories as a way of identifying patterns that connect multiple stories. You will discover a few steps and some principles for playing with stories that might be useful or useless. First we will try out the process, then debrief, and then look at the theory underneath it which draws from complexity science.

Bhavesh Patel spend most of his time designing conversational processes for groups who are often working in a networked relationships where a lot of things feel messy.

3. Purpose in the midst of chaos
The systems that make up our daily lives are radically transforming left and right. How do we develop a sense of purpose amid chaos? This workshop will be a participatory workshop where you will get to interact with interesting people and explore the theme of purpose together in fun and creative ways.

This workshop is for professional people working in different fields, who want to use their skills and agency to do what this moment is calling them to do. (But might not see what that is or feel a bit trapped or stuck.) Whether you’re an intern or the CEO looking for a reminder or an iteration of your WHY, this session is for you.

Welcome to a space to bravely reflect on and connect over stories of personal meaning in a time when that’s needed of all of us!

5. Power of Intention - A Community approach 
There is a wider understanding that to thrive as a human species we need to gather into intention based collectives that serve individuals, groups and the planet. When we gather with a common intention, we are stronger, efficient and flowing - working as a whole. In this workshop we will look at how to find intention in a group, how to keep the flame alive, and we will hear stories from Ecovillages on how they have worked as an intentional collective. The space will be mostly experiential, allowing participants to dive into the discovery of their own intention, to learn practices of deep listening and to connect with intention. These tools can be brought back to your organisations and groups for community building, clarity building and coherence building. 

Based on her experience gathered in 45 Ecovillages around Europe, Teodora will guide the process to unravel our collective intelligence. Everyone is welcomed. 

Teodora Radulescu is a facilitator, trainer and space-holder for community building and organisational development, on and offline, since 2015.

Now Swiss based in the Community Schloss Glarisegg, Teodora works to empower groups with methods of somatic presencing, organisational development and holistic design systems. 

7. Reimagining ourselves - In-bodied memories intro-active event.

In-bodied Memories is about making visible and tapping the potential of embodied awareness and grounded knowing as a source of personal and organisational wellbeing. The performance included a “process-oriented” presentation of In-bodied Memories, a video art premiered at THE BODY LANGUAGE (Venice 2020). The video art becomes a co-sensing of self and story through embodied practices. Integrating insights and techniques from visual arts, generative scribing, and Social Presencing Theatre reflect the resonance from the artwork and story it reflects. The intention is to develop inner and inter-personal well-being through cultivating emotional intelligence, open awareness, and a sense of play.

9. Dynamic Stakeholder Engagement for Wicked Problems

A participative workshop, based on Masters research - exploring a sense-making framework for stakeholder engagement in the context of the change, complexity and conflict inherent in wicked ecologies. The workshop will commence with discussion on the nature of wicked problems from a theoretical perspective and a brief presentation of the framework. The bulk of the time will centre on engaging participants to explore the application of the framework in practice.

10. Fundamental Assumptions and Intentional Decisions
Intentional Decisions is a compelling model for raising awareness of the possibility of choice, it serves as an ethical framework when choosing and it empowers us with the ability to decide. Using Fourth loop innovation based on the Intentional Decisions model, we can make new fundamental assumptions for how persons, organisations and society as whole works. A new way to look at the world! What will and can then happen?

In the workshop, we look at the fundamental assumptions that have guided us up until now. We introduce the idea of ​​making new fundamental assumptions about how the world and the economy work, where eco-systems precede ego-systems and where ’together’ is a design criterion. In the workshop we explore which alternative assumptions that would be favourable and what they mean for us on a practical level.

13. Re:Imagine Work – exploring the New Normal
​If Corona is a teacher, what has Corona shown us on how human potential can be liberated at work? What assumptions and beliefs around work have been challenged and created tensions? 

What are the pain points?  What are the good examples and unexpected innovations showing the way to the new normal?  How might we reimagine work post-corona?

During this session we will crowd- source insights and ways to liberate human potential at work with the intention to co-create a report we all can put into practice.

Ulrika Tillberg Luckey has contributed with her warm personality and passion for liberating human potential as faculty member and programdirector at Executive Education at Stockholm School of Economics, leadership and organisational development at the bank SEB and for the last years as a consultant at Gro collective.

2. Let’s Reimagine Feminism!
In our last Reimagine get-together we explored how feminine leadership qualities can contribute to self-organisation and complexity conscious teamwork with a great group of curious minds. This time we want to dig deeper into Feminism.
 
We all know that there’s a loooong way to go to reach gender equality. Last year the World Economic Forum predicted that at the current rate of progress it will take 257 years to close the economic gender gap. And there’s no lack of data of the benefits of equality - health & well-being, economic growth, performance, innovation, sustainability... And we know a lot about the patriarchal heritage that’s holding us back. But what would it take to speed up the process?  What could make the journey itself towards full social, economic and political equality juicier, more inclusive, more desirable, more innate? What’s missing? These are questions we are asking ourselves - and would like to explore together with you!

6. Could Liberating Structures guide us into the leadership we need for the 21st century?

A joint inquiry into human leadership qualities we need - to lead self and others - based on Liberating Structures and supported by Liberating Structures.

LS is more than a toolbox. It is a mindset and a way of nurturing the human qualities of connection and collaboration. Could it be that when we fully embody the LS principles, mindset and inclusive approach AND use the LS tools  - that we come close to the leadership and human qualities that we long for and need in the 21st century? When we dive into the ocean of leadership styles, or labels, of today such as transformational, authentic, courageous, conversational we find many similarities with the Liberating Structures (LS) Principles. 

Join us for a joint exploration into the yin and yang, masculine and feminine, the structured the unstructured and whatnot of leadership we wish to see more of. At the same time as we are doing this, we will of course use the Liberating Structures techniques. Exploring leadership and learning Liberating Structures in one go! We invite people from all walks of life with a curious mind and who are keen to explore leadership qualities for the 21st century, and wanting to learn simple facilitation techniques to support connection and collaboration.

We are three women connected by our great interest and involvement in collaborative processes, both in our daily lives and in our work as coaches, hosts, facilitators and trainers.

8. Sensemaker in action - Sharing Global Perspectives 
Participants will take a “first glance” into stories captured to date from the Sharing Global Perspectives project. This is a live sense-making platform, inviting individuals from around the world to share their experiences of 2020.

his interactive workshop will give a brief introduction to the project, with a short panel exploration of some of the insights emerging. We will then open the floor for an open conversation prompted by the deeper narrative of 2020. We will explore how this form of data and narrative may be used to inform future community discussions and actionable insight for decision making.

Through the sharing of these individual experiences we can see things from another perspective. This encourages reflection, communication, compassion and better insight into one another. Personal experiences can have the power to inform what is done next and broaden understanding of how decisions throughout 2020 impacted people at the 'community level' .

We can only understand the magnitude of impact of 2020 by empowering and amplifying these individual stories. Join us to see what they have to say. All participants will be invited to share their story prior to the workshop. There will also be the opportunity for further engagement if you wish to explore this project directly with your communities.
