THE COLAB COMMUNITY -  A THIRD SPACE FOR TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING

In a world where traditional industrial education no longer serves our evolving needs, the CoLab Community Is a vital third space. It's our answer to a place between formal institutions and informal networks where we can engage in active learning, sharing and communing together. 

Our CoLab Community is where mindset shift and cultural change are scaled. It's deep. It's global. It's personal. For us, scaling is not about templates and global domination but about raising consciousness and showing up differently. Showing by doing. Showing by being in relation to the world differently we can lead the way.

WHY WE NEED A THIRD SPACE

Traditional educational institutions, bound by industrial-era thinking and rigid structures, struggle to address our contemporary challenges. Our CoLab Community creates an alternative space where:

  • We hold space for difficult conversations about systemic change

  • Informal learning emerges through sharing practice and lived experience

  • Uncomfortable truths can be explored safely and productively

  • Communities can gather to think, share, and transform together

  • New ways of knowing and being can take root

OUR APPROACH

Picture a space where the boundaries between learning and doing dissolve. Where people from different places, contexts and ages can come together and share their experience and practical wisdom. 

 

In these exchanges, we find the spark of real change, the inspiration, and the energy of a mycorrhizal network. This isn't traditional education – it's a living laboratory where theory comes alive through practice and careful facilitation. It's where the deep questions can be asked, and we can breathe and grow in a safe place. 

Through skilled facilitation and stillness, the CoLab Community is where:

  • Theory meets real-world application

  • Diverse perspectives challenge established thinking

  • Practitioners share insights and learn together

  • Deep, transformative change becomes possible

  • Difficult questions find space for exploration

FOR COMMUNITIES AND ORGANISATIONS

Corporate workshops are one thing, community workshops are another. Imagine a space where your community or organisation can continue the conversation behind closed doors.

 

You can receive coaching or work through complex challenges, You can share CoLab community resources, connect to the global community, or do a course!

Create your own learning space within our community where you can:

  • Hold space for difficult conversations

  • Explore alternative approaches

  • Build capacity for change

  • Connect with other practitioners

  • Transform theory into practice

BENEFITS

Drawing from our background in education, curriculum design and pedagogy, we have created a third space for learning and practice that is:

  • Independent from traditional institutional constraints and delivering on set agendas

  • A safe space for transformative learning

  • Supportive of emergent practices and new thinking

  • A welcome space for difficult but necessary conversations

  • Fostering connections across traditional boundaries

The Tourism CoLab and the CoLab learning community have been an amazing experience for me during the last year. I’ve loved meeting others who are growing capacity for flourishing people, communities, and ecologies. I’ve absorbed so much learning and a deeper understanding of regenerative tourism and regenerative practice. 

 

Dianne continually thinks about how to trigger growth and learning for others, as well as expanding the experience and understanding of regeneration for all those who become involved. She has linked me to new ideas through so many helpful resources. She introduces people in the community to others who might share their ideas and thinking. Her reflections about barriers and breakthroughs have always thrown new light on my whole my way of being and triggered new discoveries of thinking, feeling and action.
