It’s time to exist differently.

Visionary Organizing Lab is a learning lab for social and cultural transformation that supports people to experiment with creating self-reliant communities and dignity affirming organizations.

Imagine communities, workplaces, organizations, and systems that prioritize how you feel as much as they prioritize what you get done or do. Self-reliant communities and dignity affirming organizations can make this dream real. This reality can help us exist differently.  

Visionary Organizing Lab provides this support by teaching Visionary Organizing to individuals, communities, organizations, and students. Visionary Organizingis an approach to change and a framework for equally emphasizing our material needs for survival and non-material needs for things like love, identity, recognition, and community.

We make media to help people imagine new possibilities and use Visionary Organizing to support teams and organizations develop visions, create dignity affirming cultures, and deal with the challenges that come with workplaces and organizations. We convene a Community Self-Reliance School where people learn the components of Visionary Organizing and develop visions and plans for a community based project that makes people less dependent on the economy.  We also offer trainings and workshops that teach visionary organizing to individuals, students, and organizations.
