We design equitable learning environments that enable dynamic collaborations and critical dialogue.
Get in touch with us
Over the past decade, Build Me A World has explored different ideas, practices, and experiences that revolve around one big idea: our inner world influences the world in front of us. We believe it is important to prepare the soil before you plant the seed to grow. In an effort to prepare people to grow we work in three specific formats: workshops, mentoring and retreats.
Workshops are introductory experiences that provide a basic beginning structure for growth.
Mentoring is an intimate engagement (often referred to as spiritual direction) that personalizes the experience of growth and unfolding.
Retreats are personal or group experiences of rest, recovery and growth intended to provide both a workshop beginning learning with a mentoring feel.
Before problem solving or “getting down to business” occurs people need the opportunity to sit with each other and engage in some aspect of humility-building, exchanging personal stories and perspective, learning each other’s language and experience. This process continues throughout the work and deepens as work becomes more concrete.
As relationships establish, problem posing is possible. This is where the resources of history, data and context are introduced.
Participants will never realize what they have until they try it on. This is often referred to as praxis: learning from doing not simply thinking and then reflecting on what happened.
