Consulting & Workshops

If you are interested in talking about the possibility of bringing me in to work
with your organization, please be in touch.

 

Below is a list of things I am available for with relatively short notice. My preference, however, is always for more lead time so that things can be tailored to your community or organization. If there’s something that isn’t on that list that you would like to have me consider, please drop me a line: I love collaboration.

  • Organizational change during times of transition/transformation

  • Building trauma-informed cultures in organizations and/or congregations

  • Integration of the arts into classroom settings (K-12 and Higher Ed)

  • Using improvisational theater for team-building and/or group reflection

  • The importance of creativity and imagination in education and spiritual formation

  • Developing practices of deep listening, communal discernment, and vocation care

  • Quaker faith and practice, especially of the sort grounded in a Christian tradition

  • Adult Religious Education curriculum review and development
