Liberating Structures

Overview

Liberating Structures is a fundamental component of regenerative village development. This guide synthesizes knowledge from re:build gatherings to provide practical insights for implementing liberating structures in community projects.

Methods and Approaches

And yet, what I hope to offer you in liberating structures is a way to think as slow and as small as you possibly can as the sort of best case scenario for the search out of them through this sort of complexity and's happened in the game, being around, you know, where does change need to take place
