Harvesting and Collective Sense Making
Join us to explore: How we move from Dialogue and Conversation to Actions and Learning.
WHY?
We see an overall need for a sophisticated theory of harvesting to give direction and meaning to our practice, beginning with a deeper understanding about how we learn, know, and make sense of the world around us – as individuals and in groups
To be part of an effective Community of Practice – we learn most effectively with each other when we are sharing stories, designing together and asking for help.

"This discussion was really timely - for my work in community. Learning how to create the container - with minimal structure - to harvest something meaningful - to guide our next steps. How to ‘notice’ what is emerging and make sense collectively of what is possible and where we might begin. Thank you!"
