Liberating Structures Virtual Immersion Program

Join us to experience, practice and unpack powerful facilitation strategies to promote active and effective participation in groups of any size.

Are you:
Tired of only the loudest (or highest paid) voices in the room being heard?
Searching for an antidote to boring meetings, presentations & managed discussions?
Struggling to productively access diverse views to help solve more complex challenges?
Frustrated by meetings that go in circles, like a goat rodeo 🐐, or go nowhere at all?
Need new ways to engage everyone and promote inclusive participation?
Wishing more people in the room would speak up and you could access their ideas?


Liberating Structures offer a refreshing alternative—practical, inclusive tools that unlock participation and creativity in meetings, classrooms, workshops, and planning sessions.

Rooted in complexity science, these 30+ simple, yet powerful, methods productively disrupt business-as-usual dynamics. They make space for every voice without requiring costly consultants, complex training, or sweeping organisational change.

Start generating better outcomes—together.

🤔 What is an Immersion?

Maybe the best way to describe an Immersion is visualising yourself learning a new language, living for a period of time in a new country. It would be an immersive experience, which means intense, deep and sometimes, discombobulating...😜

In an Immersion, we experience the Liberating Structures at all times, structuring all interactions with the group.

» We do not talk about Liberating Structures, we experience them. This is when we learn the most...🤩

» We look behind the scenes. And then confirm how simple and powerful they are...🤔

» We reflect on results and discuss how to apply LS in different contexts. A rich and delightful conversation...😀

👨‍💻👩‍💻 Virtual Immersion?

During the pandemic, your lead facilitators, Fernando and Carol, re-designed their 2-day in-person workshop into 4 dynamic and interactive online sessions, each lasting 3,5 hours, via Zoom. This format allows a deep dive into the world of Liberating Structures in a consistent learning experience. The virtual interaction becomes also a stepping stone to enhancing your in-person facilitation skills.

Throughout these 4 weeks, you will experience a multitude of Liberating Structures, unlocking their potential for various scenarios and contexts. Together, we'll unravel the endless combinations and applications of LS, equipping you with versatile tools to boost your practice in the field.
