How might we...

• Practice/Emergence: How might we practice the five elements?
  • …
  • How might we share stories of experiencing harm in networked governance contexts that are grounded in emotions (rather than specifics of people and place)?
    • How might we make conversations about harm in networked governance tangible and grounded even if we're not sharing particulars of people and place?
      • How might focusing on stories about how we felt invisibilize or increase harm to others and not create space for accountability?
      • How might we build accountability into the process of talking about how we felt?
      • How might we identify common themes across our experiences or conditions that led to harm and healing (or not)?
      • How might we share stories about how we felt in these moments to ground us?

Hypothesis

If folks know a one sentence core challenge, then together, we can come up with solution or good questions to ask.

Design

• Have everyone think about a particular instance of harm in a network: right before it happened, during, after, long after
• People can write, meditate, draw about it
• Notice where you’re feeling it in your body at each of those times
• Pair share
• What learning happened?

Metrics

Success:

• Min success: We learn something about harm and healing in networked governance
• We felt grounded in something tangible
• We protect people’s confidence

 

Failure:

• No one wants to do this
• People feel harm
• We share experiences without accountability mechanisms
