Values/Pillars Embodied

– Love/justice: i demonstrate love of myself to my work partners as i love them during our working times, sharing of myself, inquiring of them, aiming for ever deeper relationship that i believe will make more and more possible as our trust deepens.
– Community: in the way i connect with my clients and the ways i try to help my clients connect within their own ecosystems, i aim to practice connection through community as the solution to many if not all problems. a frequent comment i hear is “wow! we never open up to each other like this and i had no idea about that part of my coworkers. thank you, lawrence!”
– Transformation: i am endlessly fascinated with the metamorphosis of caterpillars into butterflies. in my practice, i believe in building a strong container and then preparing for things to fall apart inside of that container. i make space for full on agenda redesigns (relying of the tools on emergent strategy facilitation), big grief or other heavy feelings to move, and also big laughter and joy. i create space for rest (including explicit times to take naps while “on the clock”, often during retreats) as well as visioning, both of which i believe are needed for transformation.
– Groundedness – the deeper i move into my work, the more i see how our disconnection from the physical body of the earth, herself, limits our ability to get where we imagine ourselves going. in my practice i make space for grounding of all types, most of which have some element of connection with the land most proximate to the participants, whether in virtual or physical space.
