A new field is emerging of "deliberately developmental spaces”. Spaces designed for deep, intentional personal and collective development.
There is a focus on multidimensional inner growth including holding complexity, expanding worldviews and perspective taking. They involve long-term engagement and rigorous practice design.
These spaces draw inspiration from many existing environments from executive MBAs to retreat centers, from 12-step programmes to intentional communities. They are distinguished by an emphasis on sustained, theory-informed,and multi-dimensional inner development practice.
