Clean Space

Clean Space is a facilitation process designed to help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a way that suits your unique thinking style and is available for both individuals and small groups.

In a Clean Space session, you’ll move around different areas of a room, or any space you choose, including outdoors, to represent different aspects of your thinking. By pausing in each area, you reflect on what each space reveals about your ideas, emotions, and experiences. This method creates a flexible, dynamic map of your inner world, helping you build connections and gain new perspectives.

This approach was developed to minimise interference and allow you to work with your own thoughts and feelings more freely. Clean Space offers a straightforward yet effective way to tap into your inner resources, fostering greater self-awareness and enabling you to find creative solutions to your challenges.

The Inclusion Network in Shropshire wanted to explore safety, belonging and freedom in the workplace

To do this we gathered at Fordhall Organic Farm. We took a walk to the woods where people were invited to find a space that represented safety, belonging and freedom.

Here are some insights that emerged:

• “I found where I’m happiest and safest, in freedom.”
• “It was a metaphor for my life, f*ck it! I am a trailblazer.”
• “I could put myself in other people’s shoes.”
• “My favourite spot was safety, but I liked having the freedom to move to where I needed to be - I can see the importance of all 3. How can we as employers create this?”
• “When I’m safe and accepted I can be me, taking a risk to be free.”
• "I’m emotional, I love the freedom of thought and action. I want to create this for the people that work with me.”
