Work with me

Ideas grow in seasons.  
Each one needs its own care.

My work is informed by the wisdom of nature. Just as ecosystems move through natural cycles, so do people, projects and communities. I pay attention to what season you are in, and what that asks of you. Sometimes that is growth, other times it is reflection, participation or renewal.

The life cycle of a project

Four seasons · four ways in

I

Spring

open · explore · sow

Sparring Session

€250 · 3 hours

A fresh breeze through your thinking and your processes.

With sharp questions and a focus on what is essential for you and your projects, we create clarity about what you are wrestling with.

  • Time away from the daily rush
  • New perspectives
  • A written reflection

II

Summer

connect · take part · grow

Facilitation & Hosting

from €500 · half a day to several days

Bringing people together, so something can grow.

I facilitate a workshop or strategy day for your team, or support hosting of a multi-day retreat or event.

  • Well thought-through formats
  • Participants who feel seen
  • All-round support so you can focus on what you do best

III

Autumn

harvest · build · realise

Sprint

€3,000 – €5,000 · 4–8 weeks

Together we build the bridge between vision and realisation.

I help your project into its next phase, working towards one clear goal or tangible result.

  • Real progress
  • Structure and momentum
  • Increased capacity

IV

Winter

reflect · clear · renew

Review

From €500 · Half a day to several days

Sometimes a step back is the best move.

That step back is often what it takes to see what works, what no longer works, and what is ripe for the next phase.

  • Alignment in your team
  • Clarity for the next phase
  • Written recommendations

All prices exclude VAT.

The whole CYCLE · 3–12 months

Stewardship

For projects, programmes, communities or questions that need attention over a longer period. Rather than focusing on a single deliverable, I help initiatives develop with clarity, continuity and care through every season. All of the above can be part of it, and more.

As programme developer, community builder, catalyst, or strategic right hand, I help maintain momentum, create connections, and keep the bigger picture in view

  • More capacity within the team
  • Overview of the whole cycle
  • Continuity between people, processes and goals
