Cohering Community

Leadership Learning Lab

Welcome to a new era of leadership and community building!

Our online experiential leadership program is designed for visionaries who are passionate about creating spaces where every voice is heard, every contribution is valued, and everyone feels a profound sense of belonging. Inspired by the transformative principles of Peter Block's "Community," Bohmian Dialogue, Genuine Contact™, and circle-work, this program offers an immersive, highly participative journey into the art of hosting trust-based, generative circles, teams, and communities.

Imagine being part of a dynamic learning lab where weekly live sessions and engaging self-study modules intertwine to create a deeply relational and emergent experience. Here, you will connect with like-minded leaders, share insights, and co-create the learning content in an environment that celebrates authenticity, inclusivity, and mutual support. As you navigate this journey, you will not only enhance your leadership skills but also personally experience the profound impact of being part of a coherent, supportive community.

Join us in transforming the way communities are built.

Through this program, you will gain the knowledge, confidence, and tools needed to lead with empathy, inspire trust, and drive meaningful change. Together, we can lay the foundations for a more cohesive, inclusive society, one conversation at a time. Dive into a world where dialogue becomes a catalyst for connection and community, and where your leadership potential can truly shine. Imagine how together we could transform our organizations and our world as we learn to unleash the insight and super-intelligence of coherent groups and teams.

Open Spaces - Peak Experiences - Integrative Practices

What you will experience

Immerse yourself in a highly co-creative learning lab that blends live, generative, dialogic sessions with self-study modules and a vibrant online community forum.

The live sessions are the core of the experience. They are designed so that while we learn together, we are also cohering our own community. In other words, you will have a personal experience of being involved in forming and cohering a group or community!

In the live sessions, you will experience the power and potential of:

  • Creating genuine connection before delivering content
  • Co-creating open, safe spaces through shared agreements and practices
  • Engaging groups with powerful, provocative questions and inquiry
  • Small group breakouts for weaving connections and co-creating content
  • Presence, silence, deep listening and speaking from your ‘inner voice’
  • Generative, emergent conversation to awaken creativity, and new insights
  • A supportive, trust-based environment for fostering deep connections and belonging

We believe that your experience will be your most valuable take-away!
