Central to this approach is the concept of "emergence," which refers to the spontaneous and unpredictable ways in which patterns, solutions, and insights can arise from seemingly unrelated elements. By creating a safe and inclusive space, facilitators nurture this emergence, allowing for unexpected connections and transformative ideas to take shape.
