What liberatory futures are we dreaming into?

How do we
co-create those
futures now?

Meeting Facilitation

Meetings are a microcosm of organizational culture. They are a powerful space to nurture relationships of trust, honor divergent ways of being, knowing, and doing, make values-aligned decisions and realize concrete goals.

I work with small representative design teams in creating meetings that achieve success across the dimensions of relationships, process, and results so that participants feel valued and connected, processes feel inclusive and accessible and results feel tangible and mission aligned. 

“Organisms do not experience environments.

They create them.”

– Richard Lewontin

Retreat Facilitation

Retreats offer us a sacred pause from day to day operations to slow down and go deep. We enter liminal space to surface and release what is stuck to make space for the new in the form of culture shifts, new structures, or program iteration. I work with small representative design teams to surface the needs, hopes, challenges and opportunities experienced by their organization and to identify clear retreat outcomes based on this.

With this roadmap, we co-design a retreat that deepens relationships and trust, metabolizes mindsets and habits that block our vision, and nurtures conditions for transformational collaboration, giving participants a taste of the new ways of being they are birthing.

  • "nisha is a deeply ancestrally grounded and guided witness and space holder, and I have been deeply nourished by her practice and her coaching and facilitation offerings. nisha moves with great respect towards her peers, listens with an open heart, and knows how to ask the right questions to support in moving stuck energy towards transformation. She pulls from her somatic, contemplative, and arts-based liberatory practices to offer a well-rounded and adaptive approach to space holding that really is meant to meet people where they’re at. I highly recommend working with nisha for those looking for a partner that will create a thoughtful, loving, and resourced container for your own unravelings."

    – Juliana Santoyo, Director of Liberatory Practice, One Square World

  • "I've seen nisha facilitate so many types of gatherings - everything from organizational conflict and healing processes to transformative gatherings for women of color. Across all of these, I appreciate how deeply thoughtful and intentional nisha is. She ensures that every component from the ways we interact to the set up of the space is aligned with our values and purpose. She infuses song, sound, music, and movement into her facilitation, and, through her modeling, she creates space for joy and gratitude. I also appreciate how, as a guide, nisha can reveal truths, provide insightful recommendations, and call forth accountability towards different ways of being together."

    – Susan Misra, Principal and Founder, Aurora Commons

  • "nisha is an observative, generous, wise, and intuitive space holder & respected movement elder. I experienced her facilitation in a variety of settings including a heated organizational arbitration process between nonprofit leaders & organizers on strike, a weekend retreat for BIPOC femme and nonbinary leaders to experience song, constellation therapy, and sacred cacao ritual, and a committee of movement leaders in the northeast gathered to provide feedback about a new leadership development program. Throughout these processes, nisha helped me to build awareness of the form, colors, textures, and temperatures in my heart & body, listen to their wisdom, and see that I am at choice about how I show up when I'm feeling contraction."
