About Us
What If We Sparked a Life-Giving, Regenerative Movement?
It is possible to enable and ennoble citizen agency and reclaim our capacity to create the world we wish to inhabit
Citizen Studios brings together citizens, media makers, dialogue hosts, and social architects from around the world to reclaim our capacity to create our own wellbeing.
Here we do not come up with good ideas for other people to do. We don't waste time talking about people who aren't in the room.
We begin with what is strong, rather than what is wrong.
We work with the people and materials at hand. We enliven our own unique strengths and gifts to make real the possibilities that arise between and amongst us.
We reclaim our capacity to create the communities and workplaces we wish to inhabit. And, we do it all at a perfectly natural pace.
A collection of Life-Giving Practices offer us pathways to rediscovering our selves, others, and to together reclaim our agency and efficacy.
Citizen Studios is a place to experience life-giving dialogue and discovery and then learn practices, skills, and structures for life-giving human endeavour including:
Cultivating Community
Every second Friday we host Cultivating Community, a 90-minute, life-giving Community Conversation. Always free and open to all, this gathering has been called a “fortnightly feast for the soul."

Dialogues and Initiatives
Join bi-annual Summits and quarterly Core Conversations with friends, colleagues, and strangers alike to cook things up and get things done through life-giving structures, practices, and patterns.
Generative Journalism | Narrative Arts
Honed over 20 years in communities, networks, workplaces, Generative Journalism is Possibility-Oriented and way to see people, and the public, into fuller existence.
Our Generative Journalism stream includes quarterly Generative Journalism Workshops and Monthly Community of Practice on the fourth Tuesday.
Participatory Leadership | Hosting Arts
Life abounds most where leader has evolved from hero to host. Rather than direction, connection. Rather than answers, questions.
Much to unlearn. Much to learn. Tricky Business.
Our Participatory Leadership stream includes quarterly Hosting Arts Workshops and Monthly Community of Practice on the second Tuesday.
Social Architecture | Convening Arts
Wisdom it will take to reshape our social structures for healing, wholeness, agency, beauty, and belonging. In the meantime, Generative practices and patterns can be scuttled by bad design. Interesting Problem.
Our Social Architecture Circle meets twice a month. On the first Tuesday we work concepts. On the fourth Wednesday, we attend the practical concerns of our members.
We'd love it if you'd join us,
Peter Pula
Convenor
