Sacred Tune-Up
You are a movement leader—a miraculous, sacred being committed to ending systemic oppression and building a just world. Sacred Tune-Up partners with individuals and organizations to arrive at their movement north star, with clear alignment to life-affirming values, for the expressed purpose of achieving collective liberation.
These are no ordinary times. “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.”* Let us hospice the old world’s passing and midwife the new. Together, we can take the leap, tend to the monsters that arise, and uncover the possibilities ahead.
*Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks 1930

Facilitation
We partner with individuals and groups to create intentional spaces where curiosity deepens, connections grow, and learning happens in community. Through processes that clarify purpose and inspire action, we guide you toward meaningful outcomes. Facilitation is a rigorous and tender practice of holding space for collective discovery and liberation.

Through partnership, we provide strategic visioning, project design, and thought collaboration rooted in emergent strategy principles. By engaging deep, multi-level listening—with the mind, heart, gut, and whole self—we help you navigate complexity and align your actions with your movement north star. Together, we uncover innovative paths toward transformative change.
Coaching
Through a holistic, mind-body-spirit approach, we ground in your worthiness, clarify your values, and connect with inner wisdom. Slowing down and using breath, we help uncover possibilities for transformation and values-aligned choices. Coaching is a space to pause, reconnect, and discover your next steps.
“When we begin to live from within outward, in touch with the power of the erotic within ourselves, and allowing that power to inform and illuminate our action upon the world around us, then we begin to be responsible to ourselves in the deepest sense."
Audre Lorde, Uses of the Erotic as Power
