My workview

I am fascinated with how we can be in relationship with complex relationality, especially in how that complex relationality informs and is informed by personal, group, and organisational ecologies. By deepening our relationship with the questions we hold, the tensions we experience, the intelligences we have access to, and the cultural stories, social constructs, histories, ancestral lines, relationships to place, ecosystems, social systems, current events, and stories that shape our worldviews, experiences, ideas, and behaviours, we can learn to be in relationship with complex relationality instead of trying to control or reduce it.

To my work, I bring seven years' experience in self-organising, decentralisation, partnership building, commons, stewardship, systems thinking, clarity and alignment, and group facilitation, along with trainings in design thinking, Circling, Sociocracy, and systemic constellation coaching.

Based in Exeter, Devon (UK), I work with partner clients in person or virtually. Alongside bespoke programme design and delivery, I also offer four curated offerings which can be customised in line with partner client needs.

1. GATHER

Deeply curious multi-discipline, multi-intelligence gathering. 

What’s tugging at our attention, that we might gather into our knowing? What arises when we combine what we’ve gathered? What's being born through the gathering? What intelligences do I have access to?

2. ENQUIRE

Rigorous self- and shared-enquiry.

How are we responding to what we've gathered? What worldviews are informing this? What are we not seeing? What other information do we need to integrate? How do others receive, and hold, what's birthing here? What arises when we name this, or describe this, or take this into dialogue?

3. ACTIVATE

Activation arising from staying close to self.

What's our relationship with the source role? How are we being in the source role? What's our business as source, and what isn't? How can we stay close to our sources of intelligence while being attentive and responsive to others' responses? What do we now need to gather, to deepen our activation?
