WEAVING PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION & SOCIAL SYSTEMS CHANGE
Equity & Systems Change
“…So many across the country and world are seeking answers as to how to create systems that support youth and adults to become knowledgeable, reflective, compassionate and engaged community members working toward our individual and collective thriving. Many are also striving to deepen the ability of institutions to embody equity (internally and externally), toward their missions and healthy, vibrant, joyful societies. I want this too.”
Network Weaving, Field Building, & Organizational Development
“…My work in this area seeks to help reduce this tug-of-war so that we can become a more coherent movement, a body of linked, integrated, dynamic, mutually supportive, critical friends and allies who strive and work together for our collective well-being, as well as our individual thriving.”
Contemplative Practice, Inner Work & Healing
“…As much as work on social systems change and equity are important, too often, we neglect the “inner dimensions” of our own healing and well-being. These inner dimensions (and our attention or inattention to them) shape who we are and what we bring to every engagement and activity in our lives. How present (or not present) we are; our degree of clarity, receptivity, flexibility and openness; our resilience; our creativity and our dynamism; our compassion for ourselves, one another and the earth, etc.; is all profoundly shaped by our internal state of awareness, and the health of our physiological, energetic/emotional, and cognitive selves.”
Movement Tapestries and Sheryl Petty, Ed. D
“I support people and organizations in having catalyzing, groundbreaking reckoning and alignment sessions; developing new visions and strategies that integrate efforts across a field; planning the multi-year next steps to operationalize the new, transformative vision and strategies; and doing the “inner work” to make the vision and next steps deep and sustainable. I am based in New York and lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years.”
