The Freedom Fast Dialogue Reflection System helps communities reflect on what emerged in their conversations. By bringing together recordings, notes, images, and reflections from a gathering, it helps surface common themes, shared questions, points of resonance, and possible next steps.

When you upload materials from your gathering, you create an opportunity for your community to see its own conversation more clearly and, if you choose, to contribute to a wider picture of what people across the country are carrying, seeking, and imagining together.

This process is designed to support reflection, learning, and shared understanding.

UPLOAD YOUR CONVERSATION

What this upload is for

Use this page to share materials from a Freedom Fast gathering, conversation, or event. This may include audio or video recordings, photos of notes or whiteboards, written reflections, or images from the gathering.

These materials can help your community reflect on the themes, insights, and shared values that emerged in your dialogue. They may also help place local conversations in a broader national picture of what communities are noticing, asking, and exploring. There is no need to perform. Just have a genuine conversation.

Recording Your Conversation with a Mobile Device

  1. Place the phone in the center of the table.
    This helps capture everyone’s voice clearly.

  2. Use the phone’s Voice Memo or audio recording app.
    Most phones have one built in.

  3. Start recording before the conversation begins.
    A quick test recording helps make sure the audio is working.

  4. Keep the phone still during the conversation.
    Avoid picking it up or moving it around.

  5. Choose a quiet space if possible.
    Background noise can make it harder to hear voices later.

  6. Speak clearly and naturally.
    There’s no need to perform — just have a genuine conversation.

  7. Let everyone know the conversation is being recorded.
    Make sure everyone is comfortable before you begin.

  8. Stop the recording when the conversation ends.
    Save the file so it’s easy to upload or share later.

Before you upload
Please upload only materials you have permission to share, and make sure participants know when a conversation is being recorded.
