Work together at the intersection of creativity, leadership, and possibility.
Some people come to Creative Recess for personal practice or community space.
Others are looking for a more direct, collaborative way to work together.
This page is for the latter.
Collaboration here is not about fixing people or optimizing systems.
It’s about changing conditions – internally, relationally, and structurally – so something more coherent can emerge.
How I Work
My work is grounded in:
- ecological thinking about identity and systems
- play as a serious method for learning and change
- narrative composting as a way to repair meaning
- leadership as relational, not positional
I don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions or prepackaged programs.
Instead, collaboration unfolds through careful listening, shared inquiry, and practice over time.
Ways We Might Collaborate
Rather than a menu of offerings, here are the contexts where collaboration tends to be most generative. These are not packages or promises – just common shapes collaboration takes.
Individual & Relational Work
For people navigating:
- leadership transitions
- creative blocks or inflection points
- burnout, overwhelm, or identity shifts
- complex decisions that don’t have clear answers
This work is reflective, imaginative, and practice-based.
Groups & Communities
For groups who want to:
- work with story, identity, and belonging
- repair narrative or relational breakdowns
- build creative capacity and shared language
- practice leadership beyond hierarchy
This work values process over polish and learning over performance.
Organizations & Systems
For teams, institutions, and civic spaces exploring:
- culture, conflict, and coherence
- leadership development rooted in care and accountability
- creativity as a resource for systems change
- civic imagination and collective “we” work
This work meets systems where they are — and invites them to practice differently.
A Note on Fit
Not all collaboration is a fit – and that’s intentional.
This work is best suited for people and groups who:
- are willing to slow down
- are curious about practice, not just outcomes
- want to stay human inside complexity
- understand that change takes time
If that resonates, we can explore next steps together.
How to Begin
If you’re interested in collaborating, the best next step is to reach out and start a conversation.
No pitches.
No pressure.
Just a chance to sense whether working together would be supportive.

Possibility begins in practice—and practice is always relational.
