Facilitation and conflict tending for movement organizations
We support movement groups, progressive organizations, worker-owned cooperatives, and collective formations to tend to conflict, strengthen democratic process, and sharpen strategy. Through our work, we help movements grow towards more powerful action, deepened relationships, and expansive solidarity.
Offerings
Meeting & retreat facilitation
We hold meeting and retreat spaces that guide your group towards deeper trust, meaningful consensus, and collective goals.
Conflict mediation
We draw on a range of tools and frameworks to provide mediation and exploration processes that support your group through disagreement and conflict.
Internal systems design
We help vision and design new systems and structures rooted in your group’s values, including feedback practices, conflict norms, accountability structures, decision-making and governance processes, and more.
Testimonials
“I have participated in several anti-oppression workshops over the years, and this was the best one. The facilitators set up and sustained a space of learning, growth and connection. I feel like we all took something new and important away.”
Workshop participant
“They brought so much care and attention to our group’s goals and were able to do that magical thing of turning a regular discussion about work processes into an opportunity to learn about how we can work more thoughtfully and effectively with each other. Highly recommend!”
Director, educational institution
“[Guiding Threads] were the perfect choice for our staff retreat. I was blown away by their experience, energy, positivity, patience, and commitment to equity and justice. Their facilitation added a ton of value to our team’s time together in-person.”
