Retreats

Retreats are the best! With thoughtful planning & execution, retreats can be powerful because they bring the right people together at the right time for the right reasons with the right process. Whether your objective is brainstorming, planning, dialogue, team building, or rest & wellness, we co-create a retreat agenda that is designed to have a tangible and significant impact on your work.

Ideal for: Managers & supervisors, nonprofit directors & board members, project & team leaders, healthcare professionals, membership associations, & government employees who want to pause for reflection and renewal and lay aside daily business for extraordinary business.

 

Team meetings

No one likes a meeting that could have been an email. So we co-create engaging and productive gatherings that will have your team checking all the boxes and enjoying a few laughs along the way.

Ideal for: Managers & supervisors, nonprofit directors & board members, clubs or membership associations, educators & student groups who need to get the most from your team’s time, energy, and passion and create community along the way.

 

Focused & effective conversations

We provide a structure and process for meaningful dialogue and reflection, clear ideas and conclusions, diversity of perspectives, & a shared understanding for decision-making. 

Ideal for: Managers & supervisors, nonprofit directors & board members, project & team leaders, community organizers, clubs or membership associations, student groups who want to collaboratively process information and make individual or group decisions.

 

Getting to consensus

This workshop generates a lot of creativity and builds practical team consensus while infusing your team with a sense of responsibility and ownership.
Ideal for: Managers and supervisors, nonprofit directors & board members, project & team leaders, community organizers, clubs or membership associations who need to explore a complex question with multiple possible answers and reach a shared agreement.

 

Action planning

Not to be confused with strategic planning, action planning helps your team go from concept to reality in a distinct timeframe. By the end of this workshop, your group will have a focus on commitments to each other and to the task at hand, clear forms of accountability, and a coordinated and agreed-upon action timeline. 

Ideal for: Managers & supervisors, nonprofit directors & board members, project & event managers, clubs or membership associations, & student groups who need to brainstorm all the possibilities and agree to shared action.

​

Peer support for helping professionals

Nobody is ok right now. Especially those of you on the frontlines. Whether you’re in education, social services, health care, public health, public service, or public safety… we can all agree that you need one massive vacation from life right now. While you manifest that vacation, we can support you through your day-to-day challenges with a regular community of support with your peers (no supervisors or supervisees allowed) who can offer emotional support, insight, practical assistance, and resources.

Ideal for: Managers & supervisors, nonprofit directors, educators, healthcare professionals, & government employees who need to create safe and brave spaces and find support for the daily challenges of public service.

 

Circles

A circle is a versatile and restorative practice that can be used proactively to develop relationships and community or reactively to address wrongdoing, conflicts, or challenges through dialogue. Circles give everyone an opportunity to speak and listen to one another in an atmosphere of safety, civility, and equality.

Ideal for: Managers & supervisors, nonprofit directors & board members, community organizers, educators, student groups, healthcare professionals, membership associations, & government employees who want to build or restore community by flattening the hierarchy and make decisions or transform conflict.
