How It Works
The Neuro-Narrative Method to Inclusion Invites Innovation
You can create long-term, lasting culture change in your organization by building and sustaining an inclusive community. This requires creating the conditions for healing from past pain, including experiences of discrimination, harm, lack, scarcity, grief, and intergenerational trauma.
Our method is one of hope and compassion. We hold the position that healing is primary, limitless, and ongoing. Our own healing demonstrates possibility and serves as a model for the conditions we create in community with others.
Our workshops, groups, and reflective spaces create an opportunity to feel and envision collaboration differently.
With our support, clients begin to see themselves as active participants in transformation by recognizing the impact of their own experience and identifying their hopes for something new.
Metaphorically, they learn to be a bright lantern for others rather than an endless stream of flashlights that exhaust themselves and burn out quickly. Our clients feel confident, happy, and resourced after working with us, ready to take on the noble work of moving human organizations to greater levels of peace, innovation, and prosperity.
Working with Us
Our workshops range from half-day events to weekly online programs, depending on your needs. We cover topics related to the neuroscience of emotional processing, trauma-informed pedagogy, fostering allyship, intergenerational healing, and systems science. They are all designed to plant the seeds for long-term, lasting culture change. These are some examples of past services we’ve created:
Fostering Diversity and Inclusion after Affirmative Action (4-part series)
What is Trauma-Informed Practice? (Half-Day Workshop)
Working with Intergenerational Patterns to Encourage Inclusion (Full-Day Workshop)
Building a Culture of Allyship (Six-week online program)
In addition to workshops and group programs, we build iterative support plans with organizations that last from six months to two years. During the time of our work together, we incorporate a variety of services that help clients grow and transform, creating a stable foundation for inclusive work to become a normal, internal part of their culture by the end of our collaboration.
Interconnectedness as the Basis of Effective Culture Change
The more we understand how we exist in relation to others, the more space we have to transform our experience of the world.
Our team helps you spot negative patterns and change past beliefs that come from prior challenges. We use system-level thinking to bring your attention to how you engage with your larger community. You learn to develop and identify your own supports so that you engage more readily from a compassionate position. You become the calm in the storm that others rely upon, a source of hope and change without burnout.
You are a source of wisdom, care, and healing in your organization.
We help you tap into your innate talent to be a connective, inspiring, and healing presence for others.
