This, here, now.
As a consultant, trainer and facilitator I guide groups up to and across thresholds; depths, relationships, insight, conflict, creativity, and more
With over two and a half decades of global practice and more than 2200 events, I offer adaptable methods for groups to work together (This); I attune to process, place, field, and unseen dynamics (Here); and I work with utmost fidelity to timing, tempo, and unfolding (Now). My extensive experience in both facilitation and the arts have made me comfortable with complexity and the unknown. I bring clarity without collapse, precision without rigidity, fun without distraction and all with the sweet, creamy depths of creative collaboration.
knowing, doing, being.
At the heart of these six points (this, here, now, knowing, doing, being) is the polarity of One and Many—unity and difference, coherence and generative dissonance.
Whether working with community organizations, artist networks, scientists and technologists, corporate heads or government officials, I create conditions where genuine transformation becomes possible—helping groups find coherence within dissonance, structure within longing, and wisdom at the edge of the known.

My workshops with Nadia were inspiring and transformative,
both for me as a facilitator as well as personally. Nadia took our
group to a place which not only exceeded my expectations, but
also stretched my imagination in terms of what is possible in a
group setting. We went deep, we pushed our edges, and then
we went even deeper. She was able to take the tension in the
room and use it to move us to a space I never thought was
possible. I simply cannot sing her praises enough
