I help organizations create meaningful gatherings that go beyond the typical offsite, for faith-based and secular organizations alike.

- Team-building workshops
- Discernment exercises
- Board development sessions
- Other custom gatherings for your needs, developed in collaboration with you
My Approach
Trained as a lawyer and spiritual director, I weave together strategic thinking with contemplative practice. Depending on the audience’s needs, that might mean opening with a few minutes of silence, building in time for reflection, or using creative exercises to surface what a standard agenda would miss.
The result is work that’s both productive and restorative: A renewed commitment to the mission. A foundation of trust among teammates. Decisions that stick because they come from a deeper place.
Past Clients Include
- Nonprofit boards and leadership teams
- Faith-based organizations
- Church groups
- Professional affinity groups
