Our Process
Our Services
-
Description text goes hereWe treat evaluation as ritual. Our assessments are not just metrics—they’re mirrors. We help you measure what matters: alignment, impact, and healing. Through a culturally rooted and data-informed process, we surface equity gaps, movement tensions, and opportunities for transformation. The goal: strategic clarity with soul.
-
Your structure reflects your spirit. Whether building out nonprofit governance (C3/C4), shifting internal culture, or evolving leadership flow, we help you root your systems in justice. Designed for mighty teams with lean capacity, we offer tools to elevate collective rhythm, trust, and long-term sustainability.
-
We don’t do cookie-cutter plans—we co-create maps for liberation. Our process bridges long-term vision with short-term alignment, translating community wisdom into action steps that adapt as the beat changes. Strategy is movement work—and we make it soulful, structured, and grounded.
-
Resource work is spiritual work. We build fundraising strategies rooted in trust, reciprocity, and relationship—not scarcity or survival. We support grant writing, donor communications, and access to aligned networks—especially for BIPOC-led orgs that deserve to thrive, not hustle.
-
Equity isn’t a checkbox—it’s a living practice. We offer assessments, trainings, and deep architecture to shift how power moves within your organization. We don’t just analyze bias—we dismantle it, co-designing cultures where justice is embodied at every level
-
We coach with care and clarity. Whether you’re an emerging leader, seasoned executive, or team navigating transition, our coaching holds space for complexity. With a foundation in somatics, spirit, and strategic grounding, we support you in leading from your purpose, not your performancescription
-
Conflict is sacred when handled with care. We facilitate spaces for healing, restoration, and transformation—not avoidance. Drawing from somatics, spiritual traditions, and movement wisdom, we support organizations in navigating rupture and returning to right relationship.
-
We design gatherings that feed the soul and sharpen the vision. Whether strategic retreats, trainings, or internal convenings, we create containers rooted in justice, spiritual grounding, and collective clarity. When we gather with intention, we shift what's possible.
