My work revolves around designing, hosting and facilitating participatory process for folk that are working across difference while addressing complex social ecological questions and challenges. My experiences range from working with community-based groups to organize, being a collaborative intermediary across and between spheres of government to develop learning and action networks, and accompanying people and organizations in civil society and business to cultivate new ways of thinking, acting, relating that embrace and embody complex living systems.

Besides being a collaborator at The Hum, I’m also the Learning and Practice Partner Lead at The School of System Change, work at Forum for the Future, on the Board of Trustees for The Visionaries and provide freelance accompaniment support for organisations and communities exploring liberatory ways of organising and transforming conflict.

Some of the communities that have shaped me the most are 8 Shields; The Art of Hosting; Organization Unbound; The Presencing Institute; Deep Democracy; Human Systems Dynamics Institute; and all those they were built on.

Some of the things I’m thinking about and working on

• Check out our Constellating Change: Exploring Patterns of Organising publication for some inklings

• A learning and practice series (also) called Constellating Change exploring how you can internally organise for ambitious systems change. 

• An annual 6-month systems change learning journey called Basecamp for Health System Transformation 

• Shaping the future of responsible recruitment cross-sector collaboration I’m supporting in design and facilitation
