What is Liberating Structures?

Liberating Structures are simple, engaging methods that help change how people work together. We call these methods “LS”The methods are playful, but conceived to help you get serious work done. They are open source — anyone can learn and use LS to have better meetings.

What is a User Group?

A user group is place where new an experienced practitioners of a craft (in this case, Liberating Structures) can come together to practice and learn new skills. It is, by design, an accessible learning space.

What is the Central Texas(ish) LS User Group?

Ann Blocker and Lynda Frost co-host this user group and invite novice and experienced practitioners to participate, facilitate or co-facilitate the monthly events.
