What's offered is an experience, of noticing how it feels, of reading the room, of revealing things known but unspoken,  of choosing good questions, of holding complex dynamics, of creating time and space for your insight and wisdom to see what skillful collaboration looks like, moment by moment. 

Do you need this? It depends. When is basic knowledge, learning well established practices and models, not enough? When is pumping out a policy, a protocol, an agenda not going to cut it? Here are a few contexts. When people don't feel comfortable questioning things. When complex things are being approached as straightforward.  When conflict is entrenched. When conditions or dynamics are having an impact but no one is talking about it. 

These are the situations in which we really make a difference. How do we do it? We're coming from somatics, systems thinking, complexity, mindfulness, and a deep grounding in power and equity. These are ways we pay attention, in the moment, with you.  It means we notice what the room is feeling along with what it's saying. It means we trust that what’s needed is already here, and the right conditions will bring it forth. We sense interconnection in ways that might be unexpected. This might mean we slow the pace, or that we try to name something that’s in the air. We hold the complexity long enough for something real to emerge, from your own insight.

We're also goofy, curious, surprising people, who, on a break, may share with you tales from a camping adventure with dogs, of an uncanny tarot spread, of the feeling of taking the mic at a large demonstration, or of bringing a record into a mix that brings everyone onto the floor.
