We help you harness change by designing strategic and adaptive group processes.
Services
Bringing people together is our speciality. Whether it’s facilitating a single meeting or developing a long-term engagement plan, we can help design group processes that lead you to concrete outcomes.
-
We create adaptable containers for groups and organizations to navigate change. Our facilitation approach maps complexities, develops collective foresight, surfaces conflict, and supports collaborative decision-making in shifting social, economic, and political landscapes.
-
Events are as much art as they are science. We design and coordinate gatherings of all sizes—from meetings to conferences to virtual webinars—tailored to your goals, audience, and budget. Our goal is to make high-stakes dialogues or complicated logistics manageable.
-
Meaningful engagement takes time and trust. We co-design inclusive, rights-based, and democratic processes that empower community members to learn, connect, and shape decision making. Our support includes research, process design, outreach strategies, relationship management, communications, and reporting.
Guiding Principles
Adaptability
Are we willing to change ourselves in order to change systems?
Discipline
Are we clear on our values? How do we return to them when we have lost our way?
Purpose
Are we moving towards a similar destination, even if we are taking different paths to get there?
Love
Are we rooted in love for people and planet? Are we demonstrating self-love, especially when we make mistakes?
Hospitality
Are we creating spaces rooted in care? Do we invite those we disagree with into our homes for tea?
Our approach to convening draws on over a decade of work within social movements, non-profit organizations, and government institutions. We focus on tactics that enable transformation, by both surfacing the wisdom of each individual through democratic processes and supporting the collective to chart a strategic path forward together. Our processes are rooted in our guiding principles: love, hospitality, purpose, discipline, and adaptability. We leverage the following lenses in our work:
Approach
Emergent Strategy
Deliberative Democracy
Conflict Engagement
Movement Building
Pricing
Our goal is to support change, not earn a profit. Together, we will find a rate that works within your budget while supporting our own financial sustainability. We offer pay-what-you-can services to volunteer or underfunded groups working towards social, economic, and environmental justice.
