Rachael’s work in the world is to create and hold space for the healing that allows groups to co-create the stories of the new world. Operating from a healing-informed, anti-oppression framework, Rachael’s current experiment in weaving together personal transformation & collective liberation is Resist Reimagine. Through participatory process, dynamic facilitation, and peer coaching, Rachael supports groups of all shapes and sizes across the South (and beyond) to catalyze change in ways that center strategic systems change, collaboration, and equity. Rachael understands clear seeing, strategic thinking, and personal healing to be inextricable in the work of shifting systems in ways that advance transformation toward love, equity, trust, dignity and justice. Rachael is committed to living an undivided life, acknowledging that we simply cannot create externally that which we are not cultivating internally. Rachael is currently living off the grid at Wild Hydrangea, an intentional community in northern Alabama, on the ancestral land of the Cherokee, Shawnee, and Yuchi. Here she is practicing the arts of community, patience, sharing, emergence, and avoiding poison ivy.
