❋
A membership community of practice (CoP) where SPARK 360 alumni explore regenerative practices, deepen self-awareness, and strengthen relational intelligence through peer learning and collective sense-making.
Where Learning Becomes Lived Experience
What Is The LAB?
The LAB is where belonging, curiosity, and vitality intersect. This is a membership Community of Practice (CoP) for SPARK 360 alumni who are motivated to move from understanding concepts to living them.
We're not a traditional networking group or a passive learning platform. We're a living laboratory where members explore regenerative practices together, experiment with new ways of being, and hold each other accountable to growth. The LAB is where transformation happens - not through more information, but through practice, reflection, and community support.
This is where you'll discover that real change evolves cyclically, 52 weeks, not three - and that you don't have to do it alone.
Why Membership Matters
You've completed SPARK 360. You understand your five energy sources. You know the frameworks. But knowledge isn't transformation - practice is.
The LAB provides three things that solitary practice can't: structure, community, and accountability. We create containers where vulnerability becomes strength through our three-part safety agreement (Participant Agreements, co-created WOWs, and the SEEK Safely Promise). This psychological safety is what allows genuine co-creation.
Research on emotional contagion shows that when people in a community are operating from vitality and agency, trust, collaboration, and creative problem-solving naturally increase. That's why everyone in The LAB speaks the same language of energy management - it's infrastructure for collective flourishing.
How The LAB Works
The LAB operates through two complementary structures: HUBs and HUDDLES.
-
HUBs are permanent groups that meet at an intentional cadence to explore shared topics and practice communication skills. They provide continuity, belonging, and shared accountability. Your HUBs become your core practice community.
Examples:
1st Tuesday Gatherings: Monthly community meetings on the first Tuesday, exploring dimensions of SPARK
Community Board: Members who guide LAB development and systems
Quarterly Masterminds: Wisdom of the crowd for strategic questions
Support Circles: Year-long commitment to transform one energy tank
-
HUDDLES are short-term courses and mini-series where commitment length varies. They allow deep exploration of specific topics.
Examples:
The Four Agreements as living practice
ReCap: An exploration into Responsible Capitalism
Values Ranking exercises
Five Love Languages exploration
Stoicism and modern application
Deep Dive: Sustaining Attention
WOWs (Ways of Working) are cultural vows we take to be in community with each other - not rules imposed from above. They're co-created and evolve as the community grows.
Current WOWs include positive intent, curiosity over judgment, and accountability as a privilege of kinship. Research on organizational behavior contagion shows that trust-building practices ripple through networks - when we're transparent and curious, that modeling spreads.
This is conscious leadership in practice. The WOWs create the psychological safety that allows genuine learning and transformation.
WOWs As Our Trust Infrastructure
The Regenerative Cycle
The LAB is one stage in a regenerative ecosystem:
SPARK 360 graduates enter The LAB with heightened self-awareness
SPARK Network clients send their people through SPARK 360 and or are supported by SPARK Certified facilitators, bringing new perspectives
LAB members who embody the principles become SPARK Studio candidates
Studio-certified facilitators return to The LAB as guides, elevating practice quality
This is regeneration in action: outputs become inputs, learners become teachers, and the system grows stronger with each rotation.
