How might we...
- Practice/Emergence: How might we practice the five elements?
- How might we cultivate, collect and connect our learning from our various ways of knowing, practicing, and experimenting to advance toward our vision?
- How might we do more embodied work and what are we learning about how we do embodied learning in the spaces we're in?
- How might we discover what our individual embodiment practices are?
- How might we explore together what our embodiment practices are and learn from each other on our way to developing shared practices?
- How might we do more embodied work and what are we learning about how we do embodied learning in the spaces we're in?
- How might we cultivate, collect and connect our learning from our various ways of knowing, practicing, and experimenting to advance toward our vision?
Hypothesis
If we show up with a process connected to staffs’ embodiment and experiential learning, then learning will continue to feel engaging and relevant.
Design
In March Staff meeting, Natasha and Elissa facilitated a session using MWoK and embodied wisdom to begin the conservation/discussion on Change Elemental’s free cash.
Metrics
Success:
- Staff are engaged
- Learning feels relevant.
- More presence.
- We move from “stuckness” and more Ideas are generated (getting out of our focus on the limitations and caveats) with greater separation of individual stories and organizational stories.
Failure would look like devolution into greater discussion of limitations reinforcing our stuckness and raising conflict where it doesn’t need to be raised.
Learnings
- Conversation during staff meeting went well! Prompts put individuals in touch with their own story. Storytelling makes what is invisible visible again.
- Created a moment to learn by doing (learning action cycle) Instead of continuing to explain cultural strategy, we just did it! We created something that has all five of the elements.
- Next time we do this session, we want to make space/time for reflections on what we just experienced… “Reflecting On!”
- This session opened up a portal to jump into a new level of understandings
