Here is one pattern sequence of methods and tools for neighborhood development. Feel free to make your own pattern sequences, including creating new patterns or altering prior patterns and inserting them where useful.
Each pattern prepares for the next pattern.
**Campfire Conversation** stands for a type of humane conversation among a few people who live near one another and want to hear from one another.
**Six Nested Questions** are a universal method for exploring the nesting contexts of any group and a point in time. It's main value is exposing leverage points of all types and strengths.
**Cave Drawings** are shared, public, visual diagrams and models that are very relevant for and understandable by the wellbeing of the community.
**CLDs** allows people to explore complex systems and get on the same page, with the same language, and with a shared understanding--so joint decisions are as informed as possible.
**SOFI-VSM Sketch** assessment allows you to identify risk to viability.
**EIP Sketch** can help understand the critical ecosystem your institution exists in for the near and far, short term and long term.
**PIOA** helps you harness the strongest source of power in social systems--shared ideals.
**BGTE** is to ensure that your institution is a balanced social system.
