Liberating Structures
Immersion Workshop
An in-person immersion workshop to boost your facilitation practice
October 23rd and 24th
from 9:00am to 5:00pm
InceptionU • Central Library, Calgary, AB
Join us to experience, and learn-by-doing, powerful facilitation strategies to promote active and effective participation in groups of any size
With Liberating Structures it is possible to awaken a participative and agile behaviour in meetings, planning sessions, classrooms or workshops. Liberating Structures productively disrupt conventional patterns in how we work together. They change dramatically the way results are generated without expensive investments, complicated training, or dramatic shifts in organizational structures.
What is an Immersion?
Maybe the best way to describe an Immersion is visualizing yourself learning a new language, living for a period of time in a new country. It would be an immersive experience, which means intense, deep and sometimes, discombobulating...😜
In an Immersion we experience the Liberating Structures at all times, structuring all interactions with the group.
» We do not talk about, we experience the Liberating Structures. This is when you learn the most...🤩
» We look behind the scenes. And then confirm how simple and powerful they are...🤔
» We reflect on results and discuss how to apply LS in different contexts. What can be an endless, rich and delightful conversation...😀
This will be our 69th Immersion, and both in the in-person and virtual formats, during an Immersion we intentionally experience various Liberating Structures, optimizing, reflecting and learning how interactions within the group can be richer, safer, deeper and more creative.

Facilitators
We’re thrilled to bring a Liberating Structures Immersion back to Calgary for the second time, hosted in partnership with Inception U, at their headquarters in this architectural marvel, the Central Library.
The workshop will be co-facilitated by Carolina Almeida and Fernando Murray, who have been offering LS Immersions across Canada, Brazil, the USA, and Portugal. Their dynamic, inclusive, and energizing approach has helped build vibrant communities of practice and expanded LS globally.
Together with Inception U, this team brings a beautiful synergy of local innovation and global facilitation experience, creating space for transformative learning and enduring connections.
Join us in this rare opportunity to learn, connect, and transform how we meet.
