Bringing our desires, our dreams, the ideas that make our bodies dance, and the vulnerabilities that make us see – really see – one another, infuses radical loveinto processes, keeping our hearts connected and open.
Bringing our creativity, our questions, our brainy brilliance and our intimate knowledge about our work into discussions reminds us of our collective power, of what is not only possible — but non-negotiable — and keeps the horizon we are pursuing within clear line of sight.
As Moon Tide Collective, we’ve come to see first hand how the quality of a process to arrive at an outcome directly impacts that outcome’s relevance.Yet when you look back on the meetings you’ve shared with colleagues, perhaps what comes to mind is a less liberating experience.
Perhaps you remember how the protocols of your organisation’s M&E practices came haunting your meeting room. You remember how learning the cryptographic online reporting systems of your anti-risk funders replaced the morning’s visioning workshop.
Perhaps you remember flared up commentary directed from one colleague to another as months of bottled frustration bursted open. Conversations intended for catalysing meaningful impact became instead about how to convince your board that the team really wants to drop that one research programme.
Grounded in practices of participatory decision-making, transparent communication, feminist care, and appreciative inquiry, we facilitate conversations and longer-term processes using necessarily emergent and iterative methodologies to enable generative and focussed collaboration.
