We are pleased to announce the publication of Group Works: A Pattern Language for Bringing Life to Meetings and Other Gatherings. Decks of 91 beautiful, evocative cards are now available for free download or sale over at our other website: www.groupworksdeck.org.
We hold a vision of bringing gatherings alive by sharing core wisdom of what makes deliberative group conversations more fulfilling and inspiring, more effective and more whole. We would be delighted to have your participation in this collaborative effort. Please read the following pages to understand the basics of what we are up to:
