Working with diverse opinions in systems change: Learn and become confident in using the Lewis Deep Democracy Debate.
Often in systems change, there are tensions and conflicts brewing; different opinions are in the room - and out of it. The Lewis Deep Democracy (LDD) approach helps us as changemakers to work with these differing opinions and come to deeper wisdoms that help us move forward.
Join this course to develop your ability to effectively deal with tension and polarities in such a way as to build trusting relationships across your systems change work.
This short course is offered in collaboration between Lewis Deep Democracy (LDD) and School of System Change as part of the Seedling Series: short courses supporting changemakers to embrace complexity through discovering the diversity of systemic approaches and practitioners.

Relating Reimagined: a brand-new, one-day experiential workshop on relationships, created and delivered by Myrna Lewis.
Relating Reimagined marks the introduction of a new pathway within Lewis Deep Democracy: Relationship Work
It’s a deeply experiential day of reflection, paired work, and group exploration - focused on how relationships shape us, challenge us, and reveal us.
Relating Reimagined is for anyone drawn to personal growth and deeper relational awareness, and people who work with others - including facilitators, coaches, therapists, educators, leaders, and managers.
Whether you’re exploring intimate relationships, family dynamics, workplace relationships, or your relationship with yourself, this day offers practical insights and lived experience you can apply to everyday life.
What we’ll explore:
At the heart of the day is an inquiry into how our relationships reflect and shape our inner world. Together, we’ll look at:
How relational patterns repeat across different relationships
The influence of unspoken feelings, edges, and longings
How awareness can create choice and movement where things feel stuck
What you will leave with:
By the end of the day, participants will leave with:
Greater clarity about their relational patterns
A richer language for moments of closeness and distance
New ways to support relationships through challenge and change

Lewis Deep Democracy is a cutting edge participative leadership, facilitation, decision making and conflict transformation methodology that is pragmatic, easily learned and can be applied into a wide range of situations.
The tools and methods of Lewis Deep Democracy enables every voice is heard, valued and taken into consideration, including the minority voice. It goes far beyond the conventional methods of participatory processes and collaboration approaches that enable the exchange of ideas, and instead surfaces emotions, values and beliefs to inform and enrich the group’s process. It provides tools and perspectives for leaders and facilitators to manage complexity, diversity and conflict.
We hope you can join us for this learning experience in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Tijdens deze tweedaagse workshop maak je kennis met de acht kerntechnieken van Lewis Deep Democracy en leer je hoe je deze kunt toepassen in zowel je werk als privéleven. Door middel van ervaringsgerichte oefeningen, realistische uitdagingen en praktische voorbeelden krijg je diep inzicht in groepsdynamieken en hoe je weerstand kunt herkennen en ermee kunt werken.
Je oefent met technieken om de weerstandslijn, groepsrollen en onuitgesproken spanningen te identificeren en gebruikt tools zoals Check-in & Check-uit, de ijsbergmetafoor en Gesprek op voeten. Door te leren alle stemmen te erkennen en te valideren, inclusief stille, minderheids- en tegensprekende perspectieven, creëer je ruimte voor open dialoog en inclusieve besluitvorming.
Deze workshop geeft je moderne leiderschapsvaardigheden, zodat je frictie omzet in innovatie en moeilijke gesprekken op een constructieve manier voert. Je verlaat de training met een stevige basis om effectieve groepsprocessen te begeleiden en teams door complexe gesprekken te leiden.

In Level 1 van Deep Democracy heb je de basisprincipes geleerd om het potentieel van een groep te ontketenen. In Level 2 ga je een stap verder en leer je de acht kerntechnieken toepassen in diverse gesprekssituaties, van plenaire vergaderingen tot één-op-één feedbackgesprekken zoals Let’s Talk.
Je oefent met het faciliteren van inclusieve besluitvorming en leert bewust schakelen tussen de rol van leider met een belang, neutrale procesbegeleider en groepslid. Je ontwikkelt een scherp oog voor subtiele dynamieken en onuitgesproken spanningen en leert deze doelgericht aanpakken met technieken zoals het LDD-debat.
Daarnaast verdiep je je in roltheorie en fractale patronen, waardoor je spanningen binnen groepen beter in kaart brengt en bijdraagt aan duurzame besluitvorming. Je versterkt de metaskills neutraliteit en helderheid, essentiële vaardigheden om groepen effectief te ondersteunen.

Tijdens deze 2,5-daagse training duiken we onder de waterlijn en leer je:
- Spanningen en conflicten bespreekbaar te maken
- De 5-stapsmethode verdiepend toe te passen in uitdagende groepsdynamieken
- Onderliggende emoties en weerstand te herkennen én productief te benutten
Voor iedereen die werkt met groepen en de moed heeft om het echte gesprek te voeren. Want juist daar ligt de échte wijsheid en kracht van een groep!

This retreat is now open to people who have completed LDD Foundation courses or have prior Foundation-level experience. It is a chance to gather face-to-face, reconnect, and deepen the work in an intimate, trusted setting. Over two days and two evenings together, there will be space for personal and professional supervision, meaningful LDD discussions, reflection, rest, conversation, and shared presence

We are honoured to announce that Myrna Lewis has been awarded the WinWinno 2026 in the category of Peacebuilding by Mediation DACH e.V.
The WinWinno is an international award recognising exceptional contributions to:
constructive communication
participatory decision-making
sustainable conflict resolution
For decades, Myrna’s work has shown that peacebuilding is not only about resolving conflict. It is about creating spaces where people can stay in dialogue, include marginalised voices, and work with tension as a source of insight and change. This is at the heart of Lewis Deep Democracy.
Today, LDD practitioners and instructors around the world continue to carry this work into organisations, communities, teams and training spaces — supporting people to engage with difference, build trust, and make wiser, more inclusive decisions.

Tijdens deze tweedaagse workshop maak je kennis met de acht kerntechnieken van Lewis Deep Democracy en leer je hoe je deze kunt toepassen in zowel je werk als privéleven. Door middel van ervaringsgerichte oefeningen, realistische uitdagingen en praktische voorbeelden krijg je diep inzicht in groepsdynamieken en hoe je weerstand kunt herkennen en ermee kunt werken.
Je oefent met technieken om de weerstandslijn, groepsrollen en onuitgesproken spanningen te identificeren en gebruikt tools zoals Check-in & Check-uit, de ijsbergmetafoor en Gesprek op voeten. Door te leren alle stemmen te erkennen en te valideren, inclusief stille, minderheids- en tegensprekende perspectieven, creëer je ruimte voor open dialoog en inclusieve besluitvorming.
Deze workshop geeft je moderne leiderschapsvaardigheden, zodat je frictie omzet in innovatie en moeilijke gesprekken op een constructieve manier voert. Je verlaat de training met een stevige basis om effectieve groepsprocessen te begeleiden en teams door complexe gesprekken te leiden.

Relating Reimagined: a brand-new, one-day experiential workshop on relationships, created and delivered by Myrna Lewis.
Starting in April 2026, Myrna will embark on a global tour, bringing this fresh offering to South Africa and Europe. Relating Reimagined marks the introduction of a new pathway within Lewis Deep Democracy: Relationship Work
It’s a deeply experiential day of reflection, paired work, and group exploration - focused on how relationships shape us, challenge us, and reveal us.

Whether you’re exploring intimate relationships, family dynamics, workplace relationships, or your relationship with yourself, this day offers practical insights and lived experience you can apply to everyday life.
What we’ll explore:
At the heart of the day is an inquiry into how our relationships reflect and shape our inner world. Together, we’ll look at:
How relational patterns repeat across different relationships
The influence of unspoken feelings, edges, and longings
How awareness can create choice and movement where things feel stuck
What you will leave with:
By the end of the day, participants will leave with:
Greater clarity about their relational patterns
A richer language for moments of closeness and distance
New ways to support relationships through challenge and change

Ik werk met leiders en begeleiders die van binnenuit willen transformeren. Juist nu, in een tijd van sociale spanning en ecologische crisis, is het essentieel dat we onze binnenwereld serieus nemen om het grotere geheel te kunnen dienen.
In de kern draait mijn werk om ruimte creëren:
• ruimte om anders te kijken
• ruimte om werkelijk te luisteren
• ruimte om te voelen wat klopt — en daarnaar te handelen
Mijn benadering wordt gevoed door Lewis Deep Democracy, Theory U, Embodied Learning, Systemisch werk en Natuurwijsheid. Steeds opnieuw zie ik hoe belangrijk het is om een holistisch bewustzijn te ontwikkelen. Dáár ligt ons toekomstpotentieel.
Transformatie vraagt nederigheid.
Het is de verschuiving van ego naar eco, van jezelf naar het systeem. Wanneer je leert luisteren naar wat zich aandient — binnen en buiten — ontstaat er ruimte om te handelen vanuit resonantie in plaats van reflex.
Aandacht is de bodem.
Zoals een ecosysteem alleen groeit op vruchtbare grond, zo ontstaan sterke sociale systemen uit aandacht. Zonder aandacht worden relaties oppervlakkig; met aandacht ontstaat er empathie, samenhang en creativiteit.
Daarom geloof ik dat het succes van een interventie vooral afhangt van de innerlijke staat van degene die haar uitvoert. Leiderschap begint bij aanwezigheid — bij het zien en voelen van het sociale veld: de zichtbare laag van gedrag en structuren én de onzichtbare laag van relaties, bewustzijn en intenties.
In deze opleiding Leer je Lewis Deep Democracy toepassen vanuit jezelf als leider in contact met alle wijsheid die de groep en het veld je aanreiken.
