The Modules of
Time Practice

CHRONARTA LABs are modular in structure and address key aspects of engaging with time—from pulse and independence to strategic time design in individual, collective, and organizational contexts.

A LAB consists of 1–3 modules, each lasting 1–2 days. Formats are offered at Basic, Advanced, and Executive levels. Conditions are agreed upon individually.

The Shared Table

A CHRONARTA LAB begins with an imagined round table—a space in which all participants commit, for a limited period of time, to a shared theme.

At the outset, each person contributes a brief, spontaneous reflection on what genuinely interests them in the time ahead, or where they anticipate potential friction. Everything is placed openly on the table. Nothing is predetermined. (cf. Vilém Flusser – communicology - Round Table Discourse)

The form is the content

The structure of the LAB follows the very principles that are addressed in its content: setting, rhythm, decision, and responsibility.

A CHRONARTA-LAB is not a format about time design—it is time design at the level of transmission.

Instant Teaching

Participants often describe this experience as something they have never encountered in an educational context before—not because the content itself is new, but because they are directly involved in the emergence of knowledge.

Insight arises at the very moment it is needed. This form may be described as Instant Teaching.

Sustainable Impact

For precisely this reason, a CHRONARTA-LAB can unfold its impact across highly diverse contexts. It creates a milieu in which new forms of thinking and collaboration can emerge.

What grows during the shared time continues—within organizations, teams, and individual practices—even after the laboratory has closed its doors.

Leadership as a Frame of Reference

In every LAB, Maurice de Martin assumes the role of host and moderator—while at the same time acting as an attentive observer and provider of real-time feedback. He functions as a reliable frame of reference within an open process: as an anchor when dynamics begin to stall, and as a resonant space when decisions need sharpening.

His mode of working combines rapid analysis, long-standing ensemble experience, and a high density of impulses with empathy and commitment. Interventions are made with precision and without temporal hesitation—always attentive to the structure of the whole and to the needs of the individual.

This combination of clarity and presence generates trust. It creates a working atmosphere in which participants are willing to assume responsibility and to engage in the shared process with unusual intensity.
