Collaboration Incubator *18 Report #1
The Collaboration Incubator is a participatory format, where you can learn about ‚social technologies‘ - mainly group facilitation processes - which integrate activism and intuition. The aim of the program is to figure out ways to support each other in what we are currently working with – as part of a movement, an organization or as individuals. Related to that, we are also using the group's creativity and intelligence to look at a bigger shared question: „How to help building momentum for global grassroots democracy?“. With this idea in mind, we were inviting people who feel dedicated to progressive movements and/or progressive ideas around changing things from the ground up. The report has an emphasis on the most recent incubator in Oakland, California, since a local funding from TRCC thrivingresilience.org enabled it. It builds on and integrates content, learning and experiences of the two previous Berlin incubators. It’s a years’ report.

WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST TAKE AWAY?<br />
OKL1810<br />
…biggest personal take-away:<br />
‚I am not alone‘<br />
‚Deep democracy is messy; we want collectivity but are scared of it‘<br />
‚Democracy starts with building trust‘<br />
‚The empowerment of myself and more self-confidence‘<br />
‚I can bring these teachings and practices to my community‘<br />
That I am not alone and that a supportive community is critical to expand my work, to get feedback and to make a<br />
difference (community) (insight)<br />
To create global distributed democracy, we need local action that has tangible impact. We also need to build<br />
trust, and that is an on-going practice that takes time and conscious effort. For us to build something even at the<br />
local level that has tangible impact will require a commitment, and on-going collaboration. (insight)<br />
How I show up in groups and community settings! Lots of insight into my personal contributions (ie: what I have to<br />
offer this world and how I can deliver those offerings) and how the group contributes and supports each other (ie:<br />
resources)! (community) (empowerment)<br />
Deep democracy is messy; we want collectivity but are scared of it (insight)<br />
The relationships, support from group (community)<br />
Some great learnings around the complexity of deep intentions, conscious and unconscious narratives, trust,<br />
shared purpose, and ultimately the future of the Global Distributed Democracy :) (insight) (learning)<br />
(community)<br />
I developed further insights on how to work. (insight)<br />
… biggest take away to my progressive movement/sector:<br />
Democracy starts with building trust (insight)<br />
I got some fresh ideas about structures and how magic, our own stories , creative energy can fuel change<br />
(learning) (insight)<br />
Social presencing theater brings so much embodied awareness. This along with the principles of dragon dreaming<br />
and the dream circle are practices that I am working on. I feel that since I have a felt sense and understanding of<br />
these concepts, that I can bring these teachings and practices to my community. (learning) (facilitation<br />
practice)<br />
I would like to try some of the facilitation methodologies that we have learned including dragon dreaming and<br />
social presencing theater. I wish we spent more time focusing on a fewer techniques, but with more rigor.<br />
(learning) (facilitation practice)<br />
The resolution to continue pushing, even if I am still lost and far from knowing that what I am doing is actually<br />
going to provide actual sustainable empowerment in women and an income for me (empowerment)<br />
Social Presencing Theater and Dragon Dreaming exercise were very cool. Integrating Evolutionary<br />
Leadership into ad hoc turns of the process was very fun too. And, of course, the relationships! (facilitation<br />
practice) (community)<br />
The empowerment of myself and more self-confidence (empowerment)
