What I Offer

01

Guiding Organizational Transformation

I accompany organizations on their journey to weave thriving communities — cultivating the conditions for people to genuinely co-create.

02

Facilitating Powerful Gatherings

From intimate team retreats to 100-person global summits, I facilitate spaces where something real happens — where people connect, grow together, and leave changed.

03

Speaking on Community

I speak on the art of community weaving and what it means to build organizations that truly regenerate — drawing on two decades of field experience.

About Me

I work at the intersection of
community, systems change,
and regeneration

Based in Switzerland, I have spent the past two decades helping organizations co-create communities that are truly regenerative — co-founding Impact Hub Zürich, co-leading Together Institute, and co-authoring the Community Weaving Framework. I love facilitating transformative gatherings and draw on a variety of embodiment practices such as Theory U, social presencing theater and contact dance.
