Come learn Liberating Structures and unleash radically different relationships and results in your collaborations

Learn Liberating Structures and join the silent revolution

“Most of the meetings I attend are meaningless or follow the same old boring routine”

“I’m tired of hearing the same voices all the time”

“If only there was genuine listening and dialogue in our collaborations, there would be more space for discovery and sustainable solutions”

Do these comments feel familiar? That’s because it’s a reality too many people live. We are invited to conversations, meetings and collaborations that don’t really pay attention to us, our needs, and our aspirations.

Isn’t there a place for having grander conversations, where all voices are valued and build on each other towards more promising solutions?

This is the promise of Liberating Structures:

To walk an earth where everyone is invited to join the choir and contribute their ideas, and co-create a better team, workplace, project, landscape, and planet. And to do that with super simple yet deep ways of thinking, communicating and collaborating together.

Join our four-(half)day immersion workshop, and change your conversations and results, with minimum effort and maximum results. Time to liberate yourself and the people around you. Now!

What are Liberating Structures?

Liberating Structures are 33+ simple, playful and powerful methods for group participation and collaboration. They put people -everyone- at the centre of thinking, designing and problem-solving. Tapping into multiple intelligences and people’s creative imagination to crack issues that really matter. Liberating Structures stand for dialogue, learning and collaboration. Most structures are incredibly simple and easy to learn and completely practical to apply instantly with any group size. They generate different results without expensive investments, complicated training, or shifts in formal structure – and they are naturally apt to explore complex, messy, nonlinear, uncertain challenges.

Liberating Structures put YOU (and everyone) in the driving seat. No longer a guru holding everyone’s space. Liberating Structures invite all our senses, hearts, minds and souls into everyday interactions.

"The best multiplier to spread Liberating Structures is the team. If the whole team learns Liberating Structures, the new way of collaborating and meeting will become organic and natural." Nur Rokhmah Hidayati, ResultsinHealth

Who will be helping us immerse ourselves?

Nadia von Holzen is a guide, mentor, and facilitator who inspires individuals, teams, and networks to create new expectations for the way how to meet and collaborate. Virtually and in person. Each meeting is a precious moment to connect, share, learn and collaborate. On her mission to spread facilitation skills, the Liberating Structures toolbox and repertoire play a key role. Liberation Structures are easy to do. They create different energy and surprising insights and provide a shared language for teams to work together.

Ewen Le Borgne’s work exists in order for people to develop their ‘collaboration/process literacy’ ie. to sharpen their skills, tools, language, mind frame around collaboration, so they can mobilise and combine all their qualities and aspirations towards healthy human systems and/or a healthy planet. Liberating Structures are part of his repertoire because they’re a crime to keep secret. They help anyone go deep fast, and they don’t require a ton of facilitation experience.
