Book an Appointment
Initial Consultation
One-hour phone or video consultation to discuss how we might work together.
Creative Facilitation / Speaking
Do you need help designing a learning event or meaning-making ritual? I can help you create hospitable, life-giving experiences of compassion-based justice-making.
Group or Individual Story/Coaching
I use story-based methods of holy listening to help people discover their meaning and purpose. While this is sometimes a one-on-one journey, it is my joy to lead groups in communal experiences.

Another way…
Another Way was written for, and dedicated to, “a new generation of people—the dreamers, freedom fighters, artists, and warrior-healers—who refuse to accept things as they are as all that there is.” People who desire another way to live and lead change.
Another Way, written by Stephe Lewis, Matthew Wesley Williams, and Dori Baker, is available wherever books are sold.
