Co-creating brilliance
Over this past month, we explored co-creation with our team of Donovan residents. It’s the critical ingredient #5 of our 7-ingredient Journey to Brilliance. With this ingredient, we work in collaboration with others to create something new.
This co-creation takes place between our volunteer team and the Donovan residents. We also co-create with each of YOU. Without you – your thoughts, your visit(s) to prison, your financial support – the rest of us would be incomplete and lack the power of transformation to which we have all been witnesses.
This ingredient focuses on stepping into your own brilliance, as well as seeing and respecting others’ brilliance and boundaries. You problem solve together, define and implement solutions together, tweak and refine them together.
It reminds us that people don’t lack ideas; they lack the resources, opportunities and tools to bring their ideas to life.
So, what new ideas are you currently co-creating? How are you taking what you’ve experienced in prison and using it to ignite your light and others’? Let us know by below or by reaching out through the Contact page.
PS: Update from the inside: After months of preventing its intrusion, Donovan was hit hard with Covid in December and January. Every resident we've heard from but one got sick at one point. We understand that the situation is getting better and hopefully those walls are protective once more.
