communities of practice¶
prisma is a framework for communities of practice and communities of place to self-organise action-learning journeys, and the governance infrastructure to complement.
we're working closely with Regenesis 1, who are evolving a practice of regenerative development and design.
at the core of our methodologies is the dynamic interplay between the forward movement of enacting (action) and the ongoing, reflective and integrative movement of evaluating (learning). our work is to develop these methodologies and the infrastructures supporting organising such events.
action-learning journeys are a period of rapid innovation, guided by a facilitator team that has been co-designing with the communities of place for a number of months - each event requiring several months of intention development, co-design, alignment and systems onboarding.2
we are designing a [[Holochain|minimum viable governance system]] to support...
- External capability development of event [[participants]]
- Internal capability development
- the facilitator team's capability to work with the underlying, generative patterns for organising action-learning journeys
- increasing order of design and effect
both streams are in service to activating and making visible the multiple forms of value creation and exchange involved in thriving regenerative community. these events are developed in partnership with communities of place, with a core steward (group), and in partnership with regional hubs. the aim is for the event to be a catalytic agent for the self-expression of place-sourced practices, developed and applied to grow bioregional wealth.
[!NOTE] Regenesis Collaboration... The collaboration with Regenesis...
aims to apply this governance system to facilitate the self-organising of place-sourced action-learning journeys…
in order to produce a suite of developmental case studies that engage a broader (global) audience with the work of regenerative development and design
in a way that enables practitioners working on-the-ground to communicate the essence of their work themselves
so that the instrument used to communicate the application of practice can evolve with the community of practice and the evolving practice itself.
this governance system aims to multiply the capacity of the facilitator team by creating the conditions that enable...
- ORGANISATION: [[enrolment|self-organisation]] by event participants and facilitators for each event instance
- INTEGRITY: stewardship of the alignment between the place-sourced [[product|products]] of the intensives and the potential of the non-local community of practice the intensives are being organised for (i.e. [[resourcing]])
- EVOLVABILITY: continuity of development impulse beyond the timeframe of the first intensive (see [[incubation methodology]])
Core Capacities¶
the following core facilitation team is forming to bring this work forwards:
- [[Delfina Terrado]]: enacting, [[experience design]], [[incubation methodology]], [[practice-based daos]]
- [[Shikhar Agarwal]]: evaluating, [[value-system design methodology]], [[Holochain|place-sourced currency design]]
- [[Mercy Fordwoo]]: potentialising, [[hub networking]]
- [[Ryah Chandler]]: [[enrolment]]
- [[Tobias Fechner]]: process infrastructuring
See also Core Processes.
Stakeholder Groups¶
event capacities are sourced from at least the following four stakeholder groups:
- [[participants]]
- communities of place
- communities of practice
- [[partners]]
these stakeholder development pathways are being designed to form a 4-8 month onboarding process.
the process infrastructuring developed to support the organisation of each event instance is also designed to be configurable and self-contained, able to be deployed to a server/ [[Holochain|device]] network local to the communities of place hosting the event. the purpose of this is to align with the aim of building capacity in-place for ongoing development of the products incubated during the intensive.
Instrumenting¶
instruments supporting this process design are:
- [[publishing engine]] - a knowledge commons
- [[Core Facilitator Capacity|patterns for facilitator teams]] - see liberating structures
- [[DID System]] & reputation - participant registrations, contribution accounting and participation timelines
- A financing distribution methodology and tooling, both internal and external. See [[capital distribution]].
- Organisational agreements-making, serving [[incubation methodology|intensives as incubation processes]]
- [[speech-to-currency]], serving place-unique [[practice-based daos]]

The creative tension of glocal: visibility and verification of local network effect at global-scale levels of capital distribution. mediating multiple forms of evaluation and communicating success cases of application of practice. global systemic crises (are [[complex systems]] and) require vast amounts of thinking processing in order to respond collectively and regeneratively. evolving systems at those scales whilst at the same time in alignment with the continuity of life on earth requires place-specific practices. practice has the role of developing ecological literacy (seeing patterns in nature). ↩
