HEALING RISING

Facilitation/Consulting
FOR ORGANIZATIONS + COMMUNITIES
I help purpose-oriented groups grow towards their visions in alignment with their values.
Most of my work with communities and organizations centers around:
"My organization called upon Lux for a difficult group process, and their support was crucial to our ability to make decisions that reflected the complex needs of our community. I really appreciated their capacity to listen for the wider, deeper truth of what is being expressed.”

"Lux reflects the deeper truth of what is happening, lends a wider perspective, offers clarity, and helps things move. They do this skillfully and gracefully, always acknowledging the feelings that arise and validating opposing truths. Their background in understanding power and oppression dynamics brings balance while they also attune to and track people’s nervous systems. They bring such needed medicine for conflict in these times!”
