Hi,
some time ago (2-3y) I got pretty interested in DF and the interest is still there and in order to make some next step (to bring DF out there in any form) I need to learn a bit more about it. So please could anybody let me know about a good way to become confident enough to try it out in real life?
I would also love to know if anyone (maybe already in Europe) would like to come to Portugal maybe towards the end of the Summer and explore DF in person with a group of people (I know german, english and portuguese so could defo help with communication) :)
Thanks,
Natalia

Hi Natalia

Good to hear about your enthusiasm for DF.  Have you done the 3-day training?  I am a UK trainer and will be running a 3-day training in Hungary in September and in October/November in London. After the three day training I am organising a Staff Wisdom Council which course participants will be able to facilitate.  Tell me a bit more idea about Portugal in the summer?  My partner is Brazilian so I understand a little bit of Portuguese but it is only a little.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Andrea

Hi Andrea,
I have some difficulty leaving my kids for 3 days so no I have not attended any 3 day training...I like the distance learning really (though once in Portugal I will have more childcare available). I am trying to setup  community learning centre in Portugal where I also would like to offer workshops around some topics...DF would be one of them (others are NVC and knitting :))...a lot of this is directed towards home educators :) and families in general.
Obrigada,
Natalia :)

Hi Natalia, I am also interested in creating some online learning/development around DF. It was in my second training where I really understood the distinction around "choice creating". 

I use it in day to day conversations to keep my confidence up. Such as in my book group this week we were discussing Canadian politics. The conservative in our group kept asking, "What can we do to get democracy back on track in Canada?" (Our conservative Prime Minister is implementing a plan from ideology rather than engaging people in the process). So I asked my friend, "If you were king of the world, how would you solve it?" The first three times he said, "I don't know." Then on my fourth try, he came up with a couple of solid ideas. That changed the group conversation from complaining to a few other specific actions people could take, and a few better questions. DF training gave me the nerve to keep drilling for gold.

I would be willing to practice with you (or anyone in this group) via FaceTime or Skype. My ID is my email below.

Hi Daniel,

Glad to hear your story!  And also, to see all of this activity on the list...

Recently I offered some online DF practice sessions through DiaPraxis.
We used Zoom as a platform, and we focused on the DF application of having a small group
work on a particular individual's challenge. The purpose was to practice the skill of reflection.

I am very happy to see various experiments at applying DF in an online context.
It's clearly the "growing edge" of our work...

with all best wishes,

Rosa

Three-Day Deep Dives: In these highly experiential workshops, we practice a non-linear approach for "maximizing creative tension while minimizing interpersonal anxiety" that can be used in both business and public engagement contexts. We learn by exploring real-world social issues, in a surprisingly enjoyable and energizing manner. Participants also have the opportunity to draw on collective intelligence to explore their own personal/professional challenges. More info here.

Wow, super exciting to find this old thread. Natalie, if you are still on the list...
we are finally moving full steam ahead, with online DF...

one of the positive outcomes of this intensely devastating and world-changing epidemic...

also, one of the things we are now offering, instead of the two-day or three-day intensives,
is once a week three-hour sessions for four weeks in a row.

we have one coming up soon for practitioners of deliberative democracy

(I know, I know, DF is choice-creating, which is different than either dialogue or deliberation.)
And, in the last decade, practitioners of deliberation have been clamoring for approaches that include both head and heart...

anyway, send me an email through my website (still Diapraxis.com) and I can send you more info.
It's mostly invitational, but we are open to having a few additional participants...

with all best wishes,

Rosa

Well here are the deets for this one!
everyone is welcome. It will be a smallish group by design,
as we have capped it at 18, and there are still some spaces left...

looking forward,

Rosa
