We often get very absorbed in our projects. Sometimes we can’t see the wood for the trees. How can we use the individual and collective wisdom of a group, and the diverse perspectives of its members, to support the fullest and deepest realisation of our dreams?

using a blend of World Cafe and Open Space processes, we can create dynamic, creative and fluid spaces in which we support each other to interrogate more deeply the plans and projects we are already working on. Focusing on questions such as, ‘What is the deeper question you are addressing?’ or ‘What is missing?’ can enable us to go deeper into the true nature of our vision. It also helps to maximise the contribution of group members, who actually love to support one another given the chance!
