CONTAINER CREATION

When facilitating remote, interactive workshops, we find it helpful to think in terms of creating a “container.” In other words, we want to establish a safe, empowering space where people can focus on doing the work, are willing to be open, experiment with new behaviors, and discover other ways of seeing things.  

Safety is a critically important component of building a container. First and foremost, people need to feel safe so that they are free to be authentic, vulnerable, and equipped to go deeper into a meaningful dialogue. 

We have found that setting group agreements at the start of an engagement is central to creating and sustaining a safe container. We guide participants in building containers for exploration by presenting relevant exercises; fostering respectful and caring connections; and making space for open, courageous, and vulnerable conversations.
