This is not improvisation. It is structured emergence.

Radical Participatory Design – by Coisas
1ST PILAR
The intelligence of the territory precedes any external intention.
We do not “bring solutions.” We arrive to hear questions and build connections.
Theory U – Otto Scharmer, MIT
2ND PILAR
A model for social transformation that begins with inner stillness. We adapt its flow of “letting go > presencing > letting come” through collective listening and reflection.
Freequency Sprint Methodology – by Freequency©
