About Liberating Structures

Liberating Structures (LS) comprise a repertoire/pattern library of similarly designed methods for organizing generative interactions. There are many purposes and reasons to use LS- and the benefits are better experienced than described - but they reliably generate novel conversations with vulnerability and integrity, that give rise and give shape to new ways of knowing, relationship, intelligence, imagination, and creativity.

The LS repertoire is purposefully curated and designed to be both modular (every method stands on its own) AND inter-connected (the methods build on, connect with, and can be strung together). Beyond that, the collection of LS serves as an example of what is possible when tending more rigorously to the underlying DNA of our interactions and pay careful attention to advancing certain principles.
