Before we can bring our whole selves, we’ve got to see ourselves whole.
Vision
I envision collective space in which our natural tendencies toward connection, healing, and resilience may be applied to address our frailty, flaws, and fragmentation, yielding new ways of being, doing, relating, and creating.
I work to manifest a world where every person has the inner and relational awareness, spaciousness, and the skillfulness to evolve and flourish. I do so to enliven beloved multiracial community, people in right relationship with each other and other living beings, collectively participating in governing, tending, and building.
Guiding values & principles
I believe we cannot bring our whole selves – our brilliance, passion, capability, and creativity – to anything or anyone until we see and feel ourselves whole, inclusive of our own failings and limitations. I offer invitational, nonjudgmental space for others to enliven their values, purpose, and vision.
Humility.
I bring curiosity and openheartedness to relationships, new subject matter, and sticky and seemingly intransigent problems. I aim to honor others’ inherent brilliance by practicing respect, attentiveness, and generosity. I acknowledge honestly the limits to my own knowledge and understanding.
Rigor.
I draw insights from thematic and sector-relevant research, my lived experience, diverse wisdom and spiritual traditions, research/science, Mother Nature, and intuition. I am a precocious learner who endeavors to share and apply new knowledge, skills, and understanding.
Authenticity.
I endeavor to live as a self-aware, caring human, free from contextual veneers, e.g., a “professional” self and a “personal” self that shape shift. I strive to maximize genuinepresence.
Integrity.
I follow through and keep my word to enliven trustworthiness, be accountable, avoid doing harm, and relieve suffering.
Compassion.
I believe we exist to give and receive love, to move toward connection and understanding. I apply love to heal myself so that I might be an instrument of healing for others and our living world. I aim to express reverence for people and our living world.
Services
I accompany others through values clarification and dismantling obstacles to integrity, personal power, and relational effectiveness so that they feel more sharply focused and purposeful, experience more satisfaction in their relationships, and make progress toward their goals and accomplishing what matters to them.
