Co-Resolve: Lewis Deep Democracy Foundations

a course for leaders, managers, facilitators, coaches — all who work with relationship dynamics

Berlin Nov 5–6 & online Nov 27

Why this course?

In a world marked by growing complexity and deepening polarization, we often find ourselves navigating opposing perspectives, unresolved and hidden tensions, which lead to escalating conflicts. To unlock the highest potential of organizations, teams, communities, and networks, we need to engage with the heart of the matter: the emotions, power dynamics, and unspoken concerns that directly impact collaboration, decision-making, long-term resilience and innovation.

Lewis Deep Democracy is a cutting edge facilitation, participative leadership, decision making, and conflict transformation methodology that is pragmatic, easily acquired and can be applied into a wide range of situations. The tools and methods of Lewis Deep Democracy enable every voice to be heard, valued, and taken into consideration, including the minority voice. It goes far beyond the conventional methods of participatory processes that enable the exchange of ideas, and instead surfaces emotions, values, and beliefs to inform and enrich the group’s process. Lewis Deep Democracy provides frameworks and perspectives to manage diversity and complexity.
