Season of Drifting - Flotilla Orientation

How does a group find its way when the future is unclear and a single, unified plan feels impossible? How do you make the invisible currents, tensions, and connections within a team visible, without getting lost in difficult conversations?

Flotilla Orientation is a profound, hands-on practice for sensing shared direction without forcing agreement. It is not a strategy exercise; it is a relational sketch, a map made of vessels and currents, not plans and goals.

Over a 1-3 hour session, a group uses physical or digital objects to build a living map of their 'flotilla'—the collection of projects, people, values, and forces that make up their shared reality. This gentle, metaphorical process allows a group to see its own complex system clearly, notice hidden dynamics, and sense where collective energy is flowing, all without needing to debate or decide.

This is a deep and comprehensive tool designed specifically for facilitators, strategists, team leaders, and coaches. It is intended to be guided by someone comfortable holding space for complex conversations and is best suited for groups ready to look at their system with honesty and care.

What you will receive:

• A beautifully designed PDF Practice Card.
• A clear, six-step process to guide the group through the full mapping journey, from identifying the 'boats' to making space for the unknown.
• A rich set of prompts and questions for each stage of the practice.
• A dedicated Facilitator's Guide, providing essential guidance on preparing the space, a clear stance for holding the process, and advice for navigating the most delicate steps with safety and care.
