Appreciative · Regenerative · Connective
What if our communities and institutions became our field — and we explored together how to nurture them?
Spaces for leaders and changemakers working at the edges of democratic renewal — from different vantage points, co-creating pathways forward.
Democracy is alive in movements and communities worldwide
What this is
Living Democracy is a field of practice — for leaders, changemakers, and systems designers working toward democratic renewal. Each gathering is shaped by the people in the room and the questions alive in that moment.
Spaces for renewed energy, meeting likely and unlikely connections, and exploring a sense of what wants to grow next — individually and together.
Living Fields
We create space to share what is really happening — in our work, in ourselves, in the systems we are part of.
Reconnecting to our inherent nature and designed for renewal, reconnection and regeneration.
Exploring pathways forward that emerge from both individual and collective imagination and presence.
Gatherings of humans, bringing whatever living questions are present.
Explorations and dialogue that weave perspectives into a larger view.
Each space is part of a larger, ongoing field — in relationships, in work, in what participants carry forward.
Who this is for
Something naturally shifts when diverse perspectives meet — when we can slow down together and share what is working.
The Flow
The format
Living Democracy spaces are convened by Better Way Foundation, in partnership with Living Fields. Each space is shaped by the people in the room and the questions alive in that moment.
