I’m Anna-Marie.
I am in love with exploring:
* the design and facilitation of humane, relational-led, rooted organisations.
* how we might root our organisations and communities in our local and regional environments.
* self-organisation and distributed decision-making.
* implementing Ostrom's design principles for commons into organisations and communities.
* disrupting unhealthy group patterns, and alchemising new ones.
* organisational clarity and alignment.
* relational and organisational reconciliation and repair.
* the role of embodied facilitation.
I am trained in Sociocracy 3.0, a partner in a Holacracy-governed org, and a freelance consultant and facilitator through Open Facilitation (where I'm a Founding Member).
My perspectives and experiences are moulded by over twenty-five years of scraggy and inconvenient health issues that often bring my gaze to my inner experiences with laser focus. Over time this has brought me a relationship with life that is intimate, queer, intense, and utterly important to me. These experiences have shaped my work for the better.
I work with clients as an external consultant or facilitator, joining their project for an agreed time, or as a reflective, investigative partner. Dive into that work here.
Start working with me by booking a 'Pay Its Worth' session. In the 60-minute session, we'll centre a real problem or situation you're experiencing and look for practical steps you can leave the session with. This way, you get a lived experience of working with me, and my intention is that you leave the session with something practical you can move forwards with. After the session, you'll receive an email where you choose what you want to pay. Post session, if you are drawn to working more deeply with me, that's great.
