What you will learn:
- Powerful theories that support the creation of healthy and high-functioning human systems ( including self-organizing systems), group or “process-oriented” psychology, and trauma-informed community
- Design principles, dialogic processes, and practices to ensure your meetings and gatherings are strategic and impactful
- How to grow core teams that are capable of navigating complexity and working with conflict
- How to approach the work from a race and equity lens
Bring your real work and challenges to the training.
We will use an “action-learning” and community-of-practice approach. You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Step up and host conversations that matter to you using methodologies such as World Café, Circle, Open Space, and other liberating structures
- Receive coaching support for your projects and efforts
- Develop self-leadership and self-regulation practices to support your brilliance and resilience
- Apply what you’re learning to projects and initiatives underway in your communities
- Grow your graphic recording and harvesting skills to move “talk” to visual memory, learning, and wiser action
