Team Building
A Supportive and Safe Environment
- I create team-building experiences that are engaging and meaningful. My approach is grounded in the belief that strong teams are built through truth and vulnerability. Through invitations to authentic connection through experiential challenges, your group will receive a memorable reset.
- I specialize in creating a supportive, safe environment while introducing risk and encouraging participants to step outside their comfort zone.
Experience with Complex Group Dynamics
My experience with groups ranges from working with companies moving through reorganization, families in crisis, prison diversion programs, at-risk youth, veterans’ rites of passage, and domestic violence and catastrophe survivors.
I bring a warm, grounded presence and the ability to hold both the energy and complexity of a group. I am comfortable encouraging edges and growth while respecting and offering safety.
Your group is guaranteed an unforgettable experience to enrich the wholeness of your dynamic, in and out of work.
The following offerings can be stand-alone workshops or structured to include a day-long or multi-day retreat.
Wilderness Council
Through council, each person is fully heard and witnessed. Supportive experiential exercises are offered to engage each member with their authenticity, step outside the known, and connect with the bigger picture.
Firewalk
Aiming True Arrow Break
In this ceremony, we spend time understanding personal and professional obstacles. Intentions are established and made clear before each participant steps into the center where an arrow is placed at their throat. Guidance and support are given while the arrow is held in place while the participant speaks their obstacle and their intention. Through compassionate team witnesses and vocal support, each participant is given time to succeed in an experience that transforms hesitation into action.
The ceremony closes with reflection and an option to make sacred mementos from the broken arrows. Teams often create a visible altar, though a planter or frame with added words and phrases can keep this focus alive and present in the workplace.
This unforgettable evening evokes meaning, compassion, and connection.
Rebar Bending
Rebar presents a challenge that is seemingly impossible and dangerous. Two team members stand facing each other while a six-foot piece of steel rebar is placed between them, held only by their throats.
A preparation ceremony will have uncovered each participant’s greatest hurdles and deepest intentions. Our now-encouraging team of witnesses will rally every ounce of energy in support as the two participants facing each other are encouraged to step into the rebar and move toward each other.
Committed to forward movement until the rebar bends in half, the obstacle is removed and participants hug each other in awe of their team strength and accomplishment.
Bent rebar can go home with your team as a keepsake of what is possible.
Art & Soul — Expressing What’s Under the Surface
Art & Soul provides a memorable, fun, and relaxing experience. Members will take home their creations. All materials are provided.
Who’s Got Your Back?
No arrows, no rebar, no fire.
This workshop gets to the heart of the matter. What is happening on your team, who are the players, and what needs to change?
This series of partner-based experiential exercises moves to a group experience where we learn about each other in ways that build connection and trust.
Through prompts and sharing, members are encouraged to open up and listen to each other in new and profound ways.
We will spend time on the land, listening to nature and the larger picture before we come back together with clarity for cohesion in community.
Painting it Free
This is a visceral, visual, and valuable way to create something new and to acknowledge we need each other to be truly vibrant.
