LS Slowdown: Strategy Knotworking Part I

As you might guess from the name, in these sessions, we will dig into individual Liberating Structures, together, s l o w l y. Slowdown session focuses on a single Liberating Structure for the entire 2 hours: its purposes and the design considerations, imaginative invitations, and creative variations in each structure's use. If you’ve ever done anything with either of us, you know this change of pace will be a new approach.

These sessions are offered at no cost to participants, but space is limited.

Liberating Structures Speculations

LS Speculations events are an invitation to dip into ideas that infinite virtual space and finite physical space make available to us. These events are intended to fulfill our own selfish need to dip into the absurd, ridiculous ideas and opportunities that infinite virtual space and finite physical space makes available to us.

(Don’t count on any promises about what may be generated out of these. We just have the desire to get some intellectual & creative wiggles out.)

Central Texas-ish Liberating Structures User Group
Mar

11:00 AM11:00

Central Texas-ish Liberating Structures User Group

Anna Jackson and Fisher Qua will act as guest facilitators for the Central Texas-ish User Group for Liberating Structures practitioners.

Future Present: Slowdown

In this user group session, we will spend our entire time working with Future Present, a Liberating Structure based on the work of Joanna Macy. We will take a dive into the history of the method and work with it to explore possibles futures.

In Future~Present, participants imagine looking backwards on the present from 15-30 years in the future to see how they achieved their goals. This "backcasting" rather than forecasting helps us identify opportunities to shape the future by building on small, early wins in the present.

Washington, DC Liberating Structures User Group
Feb

5:00 PM17:00

Washington, DC Liberating Structures User Group

Anna Jackson will act as a guest facilitator for the DC User Group for Liberating Structures practitioners. The session will focus on Learning Histories.

Learning Histories are an evolving method that can be used to help us reflect on and tune into how we have evolved our work, the influences on that evolution, and bring experiential learnings into the future. In this user group, we will explore how Learning Histories can function both as a discrete method and as a flexible container that nests other LS. Participants will begin to develop their own learning history, explore facilitative choices, and consider how this approach might support sensemaking in their own contexts.

Animus: Liberating Structures Edition
Dec
2
to Dec 8

Animus: Liberating Structures Edition

In these tough times, we invite you to take part in an online immersive transformative experience supported by sensemaking activities with Liberating Structures.

Information: https://alibi.design/animus-liberating-structures/

In Animus, participants – in circles made of 6 people + 1 from the staff – live a story by stepping into the shoes of one of the characters in a larger narrative ecosystem. Within these characters, we shape a story over time and co-create the group’s particular experiences.

You don’t need to have already tried an immersive experience, nor to know how liberating structures work and – at the end of the journey – you’ll gain a powerful approach to explore the complexity of reality.

Animus is a narrative ecosystem that embraces various disciplines and languages (experience design, narrative design, role-playing); it tells a story about friendship, courage, hard choices. About what we were and what we still are deep inside.

Animus is a full immersion experience that lasts for 12 hours divided into 6 days (detailed timetable here).
