What we do and how we do it

We provide services for individuals and organization that want to know, do, or be differently. We are dedicated to teaching that is responsive to individual or organizational needs, based on what we know about you and how it connects to who we are. Our commitment is to approach every relationship with respect, trust, and reciprocity—principles essential to indigenous ways of knowing and being. We will learn as much as we will teach.
