Workshops & Courses for Groups
I convene groups to grow as individuals and cohorts, through shared learning, facilitated conversations, and workshops to develop new perspectives, tools, and skills they can use.
When a group is convened with the purpose of learning and growing together, we start by building a container we can fill with our shared experiences. Group dynamics are consciously tended and co-created by the participants to fit their needs and desires.
I facilitate in-person workshops and convene communities of practice and online courses. Facilitation services with a background in equity-informed mediation is available, including by co-facilitation/partnership teams.

Embodied Life, Leadership & Decision-Making
12-week online course. A circle for practicing embodied life and leadership.
Long ago a friend described life as a set of decisions that open or close probability patterns. I’ve carried that with me across the thirty years since, recognizing that even small decisions can have big consequences. This is further magnified when making decisions for a family or organization. Considering potential impacts without the right tools for discernment, we can capitulate to fear, decision fatigue, or paralysis. This is a 12-week course for learning how to wake up and utilize dormant somatic and system sensing capacities for feedback and decision making. There is no need to be limited to the distortions, projections, or overwhelm of the story-making mind. Get into the body to walk forward in confidence and joy.
UPCOMING OPPORTUNITY: May 10 - July
Course limited to 12 individuals. Contact Many Ways to express interest.
DEI 101: Learning Journey to Belonging for Individuals
8-week online course. A circle for white people learning anti-racism, with a focus on the U.S.
Learning to be anti-racist is a journey. It can be awkward at first to discuss race and racism, especially if this is unfamiliar, and especially during this time in the United States and throughout the world when it’s visible that lives are on the line. The rewards include a deeper capacity to listen; improved skill in centering attention outside your experience; recognition of when and how to use privilege; all for the purpose and potential of authentic relationships with wider circles of fellow human beings with whom we can co-create lasting, systemic change. The course may be nicely augmented by Systemic Life Coaching and/or Systemic & Family Constellations for deeper individual work.

UPCOMING OPPORTUNITY: May - June

DEI 101: Learning Journey to Belonging for Organizations
10-week online course. A course for organizational leaders new to anti-racism. This 10-week online course is adapted from the 8-week course described above, with the twist that it is tailored for organizations.
Many organizations and institutions in the United States are structured around white dominant culture norms such as perfectionism, urgency, and competition. Transforming workplaces to be centers of diversity, equity, inclusion, liberation, and belonging is a major task that must be undertaken at every level of the system. Intra-personal change is key to shifting interpersonal dynamics, and movement with both are prerequisites to authentic, lasting organizational change.
Available for up to 10 people at a single organization; or 2 people per organization representing up to five different entities. The course may be nicely augmented with Leaderful Executive Coaching to address personal beliefs, biases, and experiences; and/or organizational consultation on policies, practices, and collaborative work.
