I’m passionate about forms of creative facilitation to cultivate critical thinking skills, challenge unexamined biases, inspire artistic reflection, and build alliances across differences.

Facilitation techniques may include and combine: collective media analysis, image theater (and other forms from Theatre of the Oppressed that can help us think with our hearts and bodies in different ways), community-based inquiry, mindfulness practices, visual/poetic/somatic creative process, structured dialogue, story-telling, active listening practices that support the creation of spaces where diverse expression can arise from deeper, unexpected places.
