Life Beyond Story
A Declaration of Interdependence
The Collaborative Canvas is designed to support groups, teams, and communities in discovering and maintaining a living way of collaborating. It offers a structured yet flexible approach to grounding collective efforts in the context of the moment, rather than predetermined agendas or fixed strategies.
Rooted in the understanding that collaboration emerges from Life itself, the canvas guides participants through four interconnected aspects:
Context: Establishing a shared understanding of the situation, sensing what is happening right now, and aligning the group with the living reality.
Motivation: Reflecting on needs and energy, recognizing what drives the individuals and the group, and checking in on what wants to emerge.
Impact: Identifying the positive change the group wants to make, sensing how their collective actions can shape a better outcome.
Collaboration: Weaving together diverse perspectives and contributions, creating shared pathways toward the desired impact.
As a living tool, the Collaborative Canvas adapts to the dynamic nature of groups, allowing for continuous adjustment and experimentation. It encourages participants to listen deeply, respond honestly, and move together in a way that respects both the group and the context.
You are welcome to download, print, and share the canvas to help your community or team ground their collaboration in reality. Use it as a guide for exploring new ways of working together—where motivation arises naturally and impact grows from genuine connection and shared purpose.
Join us in using the Collaborative Canvas as a practical framework for life-serving collaboration that grows, adapts, and evolves with every conversation and interaction.
