Virtual May

Hello LA Facilitators! We are delighted for your interest in our growing Los Angeles Facilitation Lab Community.
After our last F2F meetup April 14, 2024 – we discussed focus and frequency and decided that we will host a monthly meetup and will alternate between F2F and virtual meetups. The virtual meetups, such as this next one will be held for 60 minutes over zoom at 5pm on weekdays.
The topics will be focused. The F2F meetups will be 2-3 hours and will have less focus and more opportunity to build our community through networking activities and sharing our experiences in facilitation.
Focus topic for next virtual meeting will be either:
Intentional Practicum—How do we build a supportive community of practice? This 45-minute session explores the ideas of the group and helps identify the topics of greatest interest and the most engaging ways to build relationships with one another.
Exploring Liberating Structures Online. Picking 2 different methodologies, walk the group through the approach. Talk about the value and uses of Liberating Structures, focusing on the wisdom and experience of the group.

About Facilitation Lab LA
Facilitation Lab LA is a meetup focused on helping facilitators & collaborative leaders connect with peers in a supportive and inspiring facilitation playground.
We gather to experience and explore all aspects of facilitation, including Liberating Structures, Game Storming, Thinking Wrong, MG Taylor, Improv, and much more.
At each meeting, we rotate topics and approaches, from highlighting practitioners sharing tips and tricks to open facilitation practice where you get hands-on with new tools and concepts.
In addition to Facilitation Lab Los Angeles hosted by Olga and Adam , there are meetups around the globe hosted by Facilitation Lab regional leads. See the region list for a full list of all active meetups.

What People are Saying
"In a world where we tend to connect digitally, it's so important to still come together, especially in a shared community where we're learning from each other and we're also affirming each other. So, coming here is worth the travel. It's worth being in the presence of others. You can't replicate that in a digital forum."
Susan Wilson-Golab

"I always enjoy the opportunity to network with other facilitators in the Facilitation Lab. I've gained so much knowledge from other attendees' insights & experiences each and every week in our community."
