Collective liberation and imagining equitable futures is deeply personal – always has been, always will be. 

As practitioners in making the world a better place, we know that we individually have the ability to influence and be the change we need, while also recognizing how confusing and frustrating it can be at the same time. 

Our work is deeply rooted in personal practices that shape who we are and how we show.

For Individuals

Core Skills Practiced

  • Telling the Truth — To name what is actually happening, in our bodies, relationships, institutions, and systems, even when doing so is inconvenient, risky, or scary.
  • Weaving the Micro and the Macro — To attend to our embodied, personal experiences while connecting them to broader systems, histories, and power dynamics.
  • Holding & Metabolizing Contradictions — To remain present when multiple, seemingly opposing truths exist at the same time.
  • Practicing Curiosity – To stay open, to ourselves and to others, even when we feel triggered, defensive, or certain.

These are not skills we preach or pretend to be experts in, these are the skills that we practice alongside practitioners – because we are right there with you. 

We believe we can go much further together than we can alone. This requires relational connections and infrastructure that goes beyond simple agreements and good intentions. This requires constant commitments to practising and returning to core values and skills – not because they are easy, but because they challenge us every single day. 

Our individual offerings are rooted in personal discovery, transition, transformation and care. We work with your goals, pace and personal learning style. We follow your questions and curiosity and come ready with our knowledge and experiences to support your next steps. 

Our individual offerings are for practitioners in the nonprofit sector, grassroots leadership, political organizing, charitable and philanthropic sector, education, government and beyond. 

If you resonate with how we approach our work—curious, boundaried, generous, and committed to practice—reach out even if what you need doesn’t fit neatly into a category. We are rooting for you, and some of our best work has begun when someone says I’m feeling stuck and I don’t know what to do next, but I wonder what I might learn from you.

Coaching

Our coaching offering provides personalized space to pause, look around and reflect on where you’d like to be going and how to get there. While coaching is often framed as problem solving or managing change, it is also for taking care of your most valuable resource – you!

We value deep questioning and reflection but we also know that going there alone can be scary and uncomfortable. We know what becomes possible when we feel supported in our next steps rather than feeling like we need to prove ourselves. This shifts our expectations and assumptions, this shifts our ability to hold contradictions, this shifts our desire to get deeper in the truth of it all and to surface clarity and liberation.

The stories we tell ourselves are extremely powerful. When those stories are witnessed, validated and reflected, we feel seen and heard.

Our coaching is grounded in care, connection and conversation. We start with your goals and questions and together, we build a shared way of moving forward. We are generous with our lessons learned and our perspectives, we move with boundaried care and model humility.

This is not prescriptive coaching. We don’t tell you what to do. We connect you to your inner wisdom and work with you to seek clarity.

Professional Development

Our professional development offerings are structured learning journeys built around our core skills and values, facilitated by seasoned practitioners. We guide from within our experiences and wisdom from working within the field, rather than just teaching about it. We are experienced in systems thinking, foresight, equitable design, social impact, storytelling, governance and innovation. We weave together these toolkits to meet the learning goals of our community and bring forward lasting lessons. We lean into learning that is of the moment built to get us through this moment. We recognize that professional development and self growth can often feel luxurious when scarcity surrounds us.

We honour these contradictions in our offerings and see professional development as a form of care especially for practitioners who are too used to doing more with less.

We aim to make futures literacy, systems thinking and equitable design accessible through various formats and platforms.

We believe community knowledge and power is needed to get us to the equitable futures we are imagining. This means creating spaces where we can learn to navigate complexity, to hold grief together, to build towards equitable futures and to forge meaningful connections across silos. We design learning experiences that are rich in content, scaffolded with care and intended to create lasting change.

Our professional development weaves together conceptual depth, lived experience, practical application and embodied practice. We respond to burning questions as well as create space for emerging ones. We intersect equity and community-based practices throughout our work and honour the lived experiences of the people most impacted by the work.

We hold space for honest reflection on how we weave from the micro to macro, from individual to systemic. We know these can be awkward and hard to have conversations, but we believe that we cannot achieve equitable futures without moving beyond good intentions.

Community of Practice

Our Community of Practice offering is not a course or structured learning, instead it is an invitation to come together to be in shared practice, to make mistakes, to expand our thinking and to learn new skills. This offering is rooted in relational connectivity and bridging the isolation of this work.

Outside of structured spaces, there is a different kind of connection that forms. One that emerges from unproductive chatter, from shared exploration and by holding each other within slower, kinder, more compassionate ways.

These are spaces we hold together, please let us know if you are curious to host or co-build one of these spaces.

We are better together than we are apart. There are some things that cannot be learned in isolation or disconnection. Some practices that only develop and deepen when in relationship with one another, in the friction and care of being with others who are also weaving together surviving, struggling and striving. Relationships are not a supplement to our work – it IS the work!

Our community of practice gatherings are designed with care for how people enter, what they are carrying, how they’re invited to participate and how they leave. We are nurturing relationships that are the bedrock of collective liberation. We prioritize relational depth over content delivery. We create the conditions and rituals for the kind of honest, curious presence that makes real connection and community possible. We hold these spaces with enough structure to scaffold care and safety balanced with enough openness to be present to just being in the moment.

Curious to learn more

These are our core offerings—but not the rigid boundaries of what we do. If something about how we work resonates with you and you don’t see what you need here, reach out. Some of our best work begins with a conversation that didn’t have a name yet.
