WHAT TO EXPECT
FLOW OF SESSION
Group Attunement
Opening Circle & Check-ins
Collective Emergence
Reflection & Check-outs
Participatory by design
→ For this session, we're trying something new: an adapted “Open Space Technology” format where the collective development emerges from the group itself.
After orienting and attuning together, anyone can claim a time slot and propose a topic. From there we self-organize, with everyone free to lead a conversation or join one that calls to them.
If you choose to lead, you're responsible for a brief pitch to the group (~30 seconds) and hosting the conversation (~30-40 minutes). That's it!
As a participant you are welcome to move between different rooms as desired. (We'll decide on breakout rooms based on group size.)
→ Bring something from your community life that you’d like to offer or explore, and then you can decide in session if you’d like to host a group process around it.
For example:
A question you’re working: like "What does it look like to have healthy boundaries in community?” or “How can I learn more about starting a community garden?”
A vision you want to unpack: ex. "Building community around shared practice" or "Creating intentional villages and towns."
A group practice you’ve found useful: such as non-violent communication, circling, or a grief ritual.
Something you want to offer or teach: like "Lessons I've learned from ______" or "How to live a rich life on a frugal budget."
Get creative, be real, and don’t overthink it!
At the end, we will gather together again to share in the harvest of our experience.
Review community agreements and RSVP below!
COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS
Show up on time with presence. For group cohesion, it's best to leave the station together. Sessions are capped at 15 to keep the space intimate. If something comes up, please cancel promptly so someone else can join. We look forward to being together!
Lean into your “community builder” identity. What do you want to experience more of? How can you create more of it for yourself and others? SCL is a space to support one another in building more sacred community in our daily lives – let’s learn together!
Try stuff! Soul Community Lab is a space for experimenting, reflecting, and iterating. We welcome all sincere offerings and efforts. We'll never grow, individually or collectively, by only doing what we already know how to do!
RECORDING POLICY
Our main session will be recorded for internal use and potential future sharing. If you're uncomfortable with anything captured, just let us know and we'll make sure it isn't used.
If you want to record your session for yourself, we should be able to work that out too!
