“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.”
“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!”
“[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.”

“Guiding Threads Collective is a group of amazing facilitators! At our retreat, they incorporated a range of tools, activities, and methodologies that helped build understanding and create consensus amongst folks with different personalities and priorities. They were friendly and fun, while always keeping us focused. I would highly recommend them to just about any organization!”
