Traveling The Journey Map
Awakened Village is using The Journey Map to empower leaders and members to do intentional, participatory facilitation that respects individual experience while building collaborative mission. By using this map, we have a common language for our journey individually and together and insight and toolkits for thriving and success.
Currently Map Position: [4] In/Out Growth
Current Systematics Shape
We’re currently using [4] The Quad and its derivatives for our processes and collaborative designs. A key mission is the development of processes to support families with school-aged children in our collaborative learning center, MisCom sunday meetings, and at home. This is built on the frames: [4] Human Growth, [4] Infinite Excellence, and [4] Secure Attachment.
