I’ve lived, learned, and worked with many different people – from private school youth to what funders call ‘at-risk’ youth, from university faculty to Kenyan community organizers. I consistently find ways to appreciate, learn from, laugh with, and love other humans. As a facilitator I’ve thought quite a lot about group process and that helps me have a perspective on how to approach and engage in groups in a meaningful way.
In addition to participating in and leading a variety of facilitation trainings over the years, I have taken training in Theatre for Living (with David Diamond) and would love to work more with such approaches. I began experimenting with graphic facilitation in fall 2013, and am open to amateur attempts to visually document conversations.
On this page I’ll share bits and pieces of the work I have taken on. Enjoy!
