InterRooted: Co-Creative Consulting Facilitation & Coaching

05/11/2026

On Wednesday, a small group of leaders will gather at Celebration Tree Farm Wellness Center in the Yurt and on the land for a full day of reflection, dialogue, and the kind of spaciousness that's hard to find in the middle of a busy season.

"Staying Rooted While the Ground Shifts" has been months in the making, and we're excited to be in the Celebration Yurt with the people who said yes to this.

If you've been on the fence — this is your last chance. We'd love to have you.

A one-day immersive leadership experience for values-driven leaders navigating change.

Spring starts moving quietly, beneath the surface — until something breaks through you weren't expecting.
Many creative people are rooted. They have practices, relationships, and a groundedness that support the growth of creativity.
Coaching, for me, is about tending those conditions. Creating space for curiosity, creativity and honest reflection so that what's already alive in you can emerge.
I have a few openings this spring. If something in this lands, send me a note.

If you’re a leader feeling the strain of holding it all together—harmonizing people, purpose, and pressure while the ground keeps shifting—you’re not alone.
On May 13th Laura King and I will be hosting a half day retreat here at Celebration Tree Farm Wellness Center in Durham Maine.
We are creating a space for values aligned leaders to develop adaptability, relational awareness, and communication skills needed to navigate uncertainty while keeping people connected and moving ahead together.
We’ll engage in creative earth-based rituals, meaningful dialogue, and leadership circles, we will deepen our capacity to lead with authenticity and effective collaboration for our shared future.
We hope you will join us.

The ground is shifting for many leaders right now.

Funding is getting cut. Federal policies are becoming restrictive and repressive. Costs are increasing. The demands and needs are growing.

The pressure to hold it all together — while somehow staying clear, connected, and purposeful.

If that's the water you've been swimming in, I want to invite you to come join us on the land to ground, connect and learn.

On May 13th, Laura King and I are hosting a one-day retreat called "Staying Rooted While the Ground Shifts" at Celebration Tree Farm Wellness Center in Durham, ME. A full day outside, in the spring forest, with a small group of values-driven leaders ready to slow down and reconnect.

If something in you says yes — trust that. Space is limited.

A one-day immersive leadership experience for values-driven leaders navigating change.

Trees don't grow stronger by trying harder.
They grow stronger by sending their roots deeper and receiving the rain and the sunlight.
As a coach, the leaders I work with aren't struggling because they need to work harder or move faster. They're struggling because the ground keeps shifting, and they're trying to keep up.
In these times of uncertainty, we need to take time to root and recognize our interconnections.
At InterRooted. I work with leaders, people navigating transitions, and men who are ready to live and lead with more wholeness, creativity, depth, connection, and resilience.
If something in you is ready for that kind of support, I'd love to talk. I offer a free discovery call to see if it's a fit.

Teams and organizations are being asked to do more than ever — often at a pace that leaves little room to breathe, reflect, or reconnect. What if strengthening your culture started with nourishment, creativity, and shared human experience?

Nourishing Interconnections: A Sacred Nourishment Workshop for Teams & Organizations

Nourishing Interconnections is an experiential, heart-centered workshop designed to help teams build healthier, more connected ways of working together. Part of the broader Sacred Nourishment project, this offering weaves together food, gratitude, mindfulness, creativity, community, and relationship with the Earth.
Through shared food experiences, guided reflection, storytelling, gratitude practices, gentle somatic exercises, and creative inquiry, participants slow down and reconnect with what truly sustains them — individually and collectively.
Together, teams explore:
-What truly nourishes people at work
-How values show up in everyday decisions and relationships
-How culture is shaped through small, daily practices
-What helps people feel resourced, engaged, and connected
-New pathways for trust, collaboration, and purpose-aligned action
Ideal for staff retreats, leadership gatherings, team-building, and moments of transition, growth, or renewal. Formats range from 2-hour sessions to half-day, full-day, and retreat-style experiences — each customized to your team.
If your organization is ready for deeper connection and grounded renewal, let’s start the conversation.

It has been an honor to support the Bayside neighborhood and broader Portland community in a visioning and design process at 72 Parris St. Two weeks ago we celebrated the announcement of the creation of a community center with Project Home, Maine Association of New Americans, Food for All and Palaver Strings. You can read more about the background of the project and the vision of the community center in this article in the Press Herald.

Landowner Justin Alfond worked for more than a year to engage with local nonprofits that will share the space in the up-and-coming neighborhood.
