Liberating Structures
Immersion Workshop

An in-person immersion workshop to boost your facilitation practice

January 2026 16th & 17th from 8:00am to 5:00pm

UBC Robson Square in Downtown, Vancouver

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...😀
