It Will Take All Of Us.

Our Community of Practice

Some of the seeds of Collective Tapestry were sown 10 years ago as I began to sense a need for a different & unique type of space for collaboration, partnership and collective ways of being. It was not to be another traditional institution but a space for gathering, for mutual accompaniment and for shared exploration.

Within the past 10 years I have found myself in continuous co-creation with creative global facilitators as we keep encountering each other on common playgrounds.

Together we often conspire around ideas for communal strategies that allow something new to emerge, finding its shape along the way.

We are a global team of practitioners and community builders who are part of an emerging tapestry and we each bring our creative strands to the table.

The story can no longer only be about the courageous act of the one hero or the charismatic leader.  We are in a time in which the story must re-center on communities. 

The diverse challenges before our world are large and some may feel at times, impossible to meet.  Through partnership we have learned that these challenges always invite us to move beyond ourselves and consider possibilities beyond the normal response.  It brings one to the conclusion that it will take all of us to bring about such a change.

It will take unique and unprecedented partnerships between fields of thought, frameworks, methodologies, governments, schools, religions, NGOs, and groups.

It will take each person offering what they have, working together in collaborative ways, reimagining a shared future. 

Through play, movement, and the arts we create spaces where people can imagine new possibilities and pathways towards communal practices of connection and healing. Our work utilizes psychosocial arts-based methodologies to accompany groups and communities to create tapestries of care.
