@liztwelves It was definitely a very different way of working! It was quite uncomfortable for some colleagues – though in a way that’s the point, if it helps us step outside of our comfort zones and look at tricky issues in a different way. In both cases I used it for a specific item on the agenda, and created space for feedback afterwards, to…Read more

Thanks Matthew, I’ll have to take a look at Constellations. It does sound similar to Kaleidoscope.

Maybe ‘Kaleidoscope’ is the Liberating Structures-ified version of ‘Constellations’….?
Though I suspect all the moving around in space, repositioning, the deep relational questions asked etc might make it a more somatic, visceral experience than a Kaleidoscope role-play.
