Creativity is the compass

Mural “Going to Market” by Cleaster Cotton

I’m here to be a compassionate ally
on the path to creative discovery, to foster authenticity, kindness, and gentle action,
and to leave the beings and spaces
I encounter better than I found them.

  • "Alli uses a beautiful, clear, and integrative approach to prompt surprising self-discovery and ahas. A calm, confident, and grounded demeanor, Alli’s facilitation of the exercises left me with a sense of seen-ness that’s deeply gratifying."

  • "Alli had my attention from the start. Her offering allowed me to plainly see how abundant are the resources available to me along my own journey towards starting a business venture. I began to see opportunities and some next steps whereas before the pathway seemed a bit murky."

    Ramin G.

  • “Alli's meticulously and thoughtfully prepared workshop, Brave Words, led me to new insights in my writing and in my understanding of my own journey. Alli helped me feel confident and welcomed into the workshop with her gentleness, curiosity, and wit. I wholeheartedly recommend taking Alli's classes whenever you can: with her deep dedication and creativity as a facilitator, you can be assured they will be valuable experiences!”

    Katherine S.

  • “Alli’s workshop gave me the opportunity to explore a hero/heroines journey that I hadn’t yet processed or thought about deeply. Her clear guidance, visual facilitation, and calm energy helped me understand parts of myself I hadn’t been able to identify. Alli makes it easy to trust her process because you really believe in her passion, experience and intentions.”

    Taylor Rose E.

  • "With a keen sense of thoroughness, Alli helps participants broaden their introspective lens. She challenges outdated paradigms, integrating inclusivity and diverse perspectives, allowing individuals to explore layers they may have previously overlooked."

    Heather B.

  • "Alli's thoughtful approach to creative facilitation shines in her workshops. From the delivery of the hero's journey (knowledge of subject, pacing, prompts, handouts) to her supportive and gentle guidance as we examine our stories, I felt a sense of both calm and curiosity, and a willingness to explore these shadowy corners of self. This is in large part to Alli's presence as a facilitator who is fully engaged and delights in taking others on a journey of discovery. "
