Group Facilitation


I’ve been working with groups for the past fifteen years — coordinating and facilitating meetings, organizing workshops and trainings, assisting and co-leading groups, strategizing initiatives, teaching in classrooms, and holding rituals. 

I have a grounded, down-to-Earth approach to facilitation. I support the container and the group needs, while feeling into and trusting the inherent wisdom of the group.

I believe in a decentralized leadership, a co-collaborative modality.

What happens in group work is profound and sacred. As Adrienne Maree Brown puts it what happens in a group is part of the river of life, a mirror of our society. When we work together we witness each other, support each other, grow beyond our stories and hold each other in love and accountability. 

I believe each group is a unique and its own living organism. To me, group work is the intersection of restorative justice, healing, and change. It can create so much movement and transformation if the energy is facilitated and directed in a supportive way. We’ve all heard that it takes a village and groups have the capacity to move mountains together. 

When we work together, we enter a moment in time where we both individually and collectively are asked to witness each other and dive deeper into the core undercurrents of the group. Once we can witness each other's processes we have a greater capacity to see beyond our stories and work more collaboratively.  

I support groups in having a facilitated transformational process that helps them meet their group core goals. 

Depending on what your group needs are, we will weave different practices including meditation, experiential activities inspired by Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects, attachment theory, rituals, movement, Rites of passage work, play, and nature-based practices.

There is a field. I'll meet you there.”
