Principal of ZENDialogue (www.zendialogue.ca), I have been an international trainer and facilitator since 2007, building on 10 prior years as a program and policy analyst in international development and children's rights. I offer WTR workshops in the Toronto area and elsewhere. I also facilitate the Awakening the Dreamer Symposium.
In 2012 I co-founded Unify Toronto (www.unifytoronto.ca), which aims to accelerate the co-creation of a just, sustainable, thriving Toronto and world by bringing together Toronto change-makers. In 2018, with my support, Unify Toronto seeded a new initiative, Drawdown Toronto (www.drawdowntoronto.ca), a community based organization dedicated to using the Project Drawdown framework and approach (www.drawdown.org) to support climate action.
Why I am called to facilitate the Work
There's a new Creation story being written by us--not the story of how we got here, but the story of how we are becoming mothers and fathers to a new type of human. My passion is to write that story--by being fully alive, and by holding space and offering processes for others to open to life as it wants to carry itself forward through us.
How I see the Work serving the Great Turning
The Work reconnects us with our fullest selves--body, heart, mind, spirit--and with the larger social body and the larger body of Earth. From that reconnected place we restore access to the feedback loops that support us to thrive--as individuals, as a species, as manifestations of life. In the Work, we turn toward our most difficult emotions--grief, fear, anger, confusion, even numbness itself. We tell the truth about our inner responses to the state of the world. In so doing, we become grounded in Earth's wisdom and guided toward the life-sustaining society that wants to emerge.
