Space and Time

All great change began when two people started talking.

We know that there are two simple ingredients to building meaningful connection:

Shared Space and Shared Time.
From these foundational elements, our shared values can emerge, and we can establish a shared purpose (and a plan to get there).

Space and Time

With deep roots in community engagement and collective housing, we shine when we can co-create a sense of belonging, connection and joy in a group. We educate and inspire through public speaking, catalyze collective goals through custom-designed group processes and coaching, and offer expert consultation based on decades of experience in community-building.
