Convening professionals are committed to transforming their world by creating conversations and cultures of authentic engagement based on purpose, trust, respect and collaboration.

At the Heart of the Matter: we create space in the 2 languages of convening-

  • Creating sacred spaces- the Inner Wheel

  • Creating safe and generative spaces- the Outer Wheel

Clarifying Intent

  • In our world, we are never not convening. Convening is a way of life.

  • If life is about relationships, then convening is there.

  • If life is about finding and expressing purpose and meaning, convening is a structure to do that.
