A hub for activating
the power of community.
Supporting social change leaders to activate personal, group, and community potential.
The power of a community exceeds the power of one. Yet, many of us are working in isolation, unable to harness the collective power that arises from high-trust environments and aligned action.
Kinship is a hub of learning and action, for innovators who seek to expand their skills in “relational intelligence” – how to grow strong relationships and communities. This is the foundation for navigating change and complexity. We create spaces of meaningful human connection and learning that can unleash personal and group creativity.
After 30 years of working on environment and social change, I am excited to offer change-makers what I wish I had:
- Learning experiences that expand my skills in activating the power of a group
- A facilitator to help design gatherings and work in ways that are highly participatory and generate wise plans for action
- An experienced teacher who can offer timely insights for how to work with “the people side of change” – at the personal, relational, organizational, and systems scales.
Kinship is a hub of learning where we build our skills to enhance our current work, via small group learning opportunities, the Living Love podcast, and collaborative partnerships, including co-hosting the annual SeaCHANGE Conference.
Our gatherings and coaching offerings allow you to connect with creative change makers in a space of warmth and camaraderie, where you can reflect and learn with peers and build your skills in activating community. The interactions and approaches give you tools you can take back to your work, plus new friendships and community connections.
Here’s how you can participate:
- Sign up for one of our Events. The Relational Intelligence intro workshop is offered quarterly
- Join a small group cohort in our Relational Intelligence Leadership Program
- Check out the Living Love podcast
- If you have an organization or community you’d like to bring to next level of action and connection, reach out about our services for Design and Facilitation
