DAY three: Becoming a Diver... and taking it out of the room
Design Lab
► Purpose of Design Lab
A Design Lab is an opportunity to use collective wisdom in the design of a project. While other processes, such as World Café and Open Space, are helpful for generating thoughts and ideas about a subject, a Design Lab is most helpful in moving an idea or project toward action. ► Structure of Design Lab Marketplace - Individuals with a project (caller) should write their projects on a sheet of paper, announce it to the group and post it on the marketplace wall (10 minutes) - Note: number of projects to be discussed determined by number of participants, based on groups of 3-4. ► Round 1 3-4 participants are asked to join each of the callers. For round one, the caller briefly provides more details on the project. The caller and participants then talk about the items on the template. There is no particular order for the items on the template; it is not linear. Participants should move in the direction of the template items for which there is energy. (35 minutes with 3-5 minutes between rounds) ► Round 2 The caller stays at the table and non-caller participants each go to different tables. Their assignment is to help the caller at their new table, while also learning ideas to bring back to the original caller/table for round three. (20 minutes with 3-5 minutes between rounds) ► Round 3 Participants go back to their round one table and help their original caller finalize work on the template. (20 minutes with 3-5 minutes to gather for harvest) ► Harvest Host brings everyone back together and asks callers to express gratitude and share one or two ideas that will help them move forward. (10-15 minutes) |

We ARE the ones now. We are the ones NOW. Watch out world, I got permission to be more badass Pause, remembering our inter-connectness like monkeys pealing potatoes Dive in… put action into it when I am in my head Heart Gratitude for the opportunity to play with big hearted people Co-create in relationship with others Such power in that Love, it is the business I am in Always remember that it is a powerful force To thy own self be true Re-energized, inspired, grateful Hope Friendships bring me hope Have courage to be honest with myself and others Practicing courage requires us to dive in deep Listen deeply… Listening to others in all settings out of my head, listening to myself too Prepared to have my heart broken sometimes And having a solid rock to ground me Fear.
