Approach to the Work
Hi! I’m k, lead practitioner, curriculum designer and founder of Healing Marronage. This particular offering includes integration of restorative and transformative justice practices into personal and organizational structures with daily and long-term practices rooted in equity, liberatory praxis, care and sustainability.
Thank you for taking the time to consider moving toward a different way of organizing and caring for our people. I understand that shifting our ingrained habits, beliefs, and modes of relating to each other are often just as uncomfortable and inconvenient as they are urgently necessary. As people who strive for better collective futures rooted in dignity and safety for people and planet, we cannot afford to continue moving in ways that harm each other and ourselves just because it’s the only way we know.
I believe in hope as discipline, play and pedagogy as praxis, and in the transformative power of building democratic, accountable communities rooted in reciprocal care to transform our worlds. It is my hope that being in shared space together, whenever and however it happens (even if it isn’t in a contracted capacity), affirms us all in experiencing a bit more freedom. My bio, resume and are below for more information about my training and experience. Healing Marronage offers healing-forward conflict support, training, coaching, facilitation, consulting, and organizational development support. With an emphasis on holistic approaches to healing and transformative justice at our core, we seek collaboratively designed, values-aligned outcomes with partners.
