Liberating Structures Studio is a 5-week cohort-based course that will teach you easy-to-learn group facilitation methods that enhance relationships, build trust and surface otherwise untapped ideas - online and IRL.
It's a good instinct - how do we get as many diverse minds as possible in on a challenge? How can we see other perspectives? Getting energized by all the ideas from all the humans is intoxicating! But is it enough?
Over time, and especially in the virtual context, even meetings designed to be participatory start to follow the old patterns where some (maybe you?) fade into the background while the “usual suspects” drive the conversation. Disengaged and uncertain how to participate, you watch as the hours slip away. If you’re hosting the meeting, you might struggle with how to create a more interactive and participatory environment for your group. You feel the need to drive the agenda, tightly holding the group like a task-master. Feeling the weight of the outcome on your shoulders.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Liberating Structures quickly foster lively participation in groups of any size, making it possible to truly include and unleash everyone. They offer disruptive innovation that can replace more traditional approaches, that can be controlling and constraining. And most Liberating Structures are easy to learn, and scalable from small to huge groups (300+), in-person and online.

"The program is essential for those who want to lead and work differently by tapping into collective intelligence. It will walk you through many of the 33 Liberating Structures with sensitivity and acumen. You will also get a chance to join a very active and giving community, and, for those that can, be able to self organise in order to practice between sessions. Walk the talk and enjoy the ride..." - Philip Clark
“What I experienced was so powerful and so amazingly done. My gosh it is astonishing what we can do as humans with a proper use of technology! I'm myself in the middle of a big shift and yes, definitely this cohort helped me to make another step toward my purpose. Really, really a great way to learn, interact, and meet interesting people and stay engaged. Really well done!” - Massimo Lavelli
"I'm walking away with amazing strategies for engaging communities online, practices that will give every person a voice, and a global network of people who continue to be curious about what more is possible." - Mary Beth Lepkowsky
“For someone like me who didn't know much about Liberating structures, the LS studio acts as an excellent introduction. Susan and Stefan are seasoned facilitators who have carefully designed this learning experience. Never have I looked forward to 6 am meetings more.” - Zainab Kakal
