Community Building
All great change begins when two people start talking.
We’ve learned that we must first find each other in order to find ourselves. We know that building true community demands our time, labor, and our commitment to hearing and valuing every voice in the process. Through individual coaching, group facilitation and community gatherings, we work together to define your personal or collective “why” and to identify barriers that are preventing you or your community from its fullest expression. Because human connection should be available to everyone.
Facilitation
We support individual and communal growth through facilitation designed to uncover shared values and create paths towards alignment and meaning. We also partner on designing purpose-driven events and gatherings and offer consultation on developing intentional communities.
Coaching
If you are searching, building or simply dreaming of how to create more community in your life, we are here to help you on your journey. We provide individual coaching and consultation to support you on your search for the village of your dreams.
Speaking
Trish speaks on the ways that capitalism creates a world that prioritizes efficiency and consumption over community and meaning. She draws on her experience as a founding member of Denver’s newest cohousing community, using the principles of communal living to offer as an antidote to the loneliness epidemic that the digital age has created.
