Ways We Can Collaborate

Two Pockets Dialogue programming ranges from individual workshops and skills training sessions to retreats and conferences to multi-year engagements. I work with communities in-person and virtually, and also lead travel-based learning and dialogue experiences. Programming is always customizable to meet the needs of particular organizations.

Read the overview of offerings below, and feel free to reach out so we can discuss what might be best for your community.

Workshops

Ranging from an hour or two to a multi-session series, workshops feature interactive, dialogue-based exercises to help participants explore a topic, learn key concepts and frameworks, and engage in action-planning.

I work with organizations to create programming that will speak to their members, foster change, and spark a desire for continued learning and growth.

Examples of workshops I have facilitated in the past include:

Antiracism: Tools for Action
Building Socially Just Practices
Challenging Antisemitism
Complicating the Narrative: Jews and the Civil Rights Movement
Intercultural Communication
Disability Justice
Exploring Whiteness
Leading with Empathy
LGBTQ Inclusion: Strategies for Solidarity
Masks to Multitudes: Intersections of Identity
Microaggressions
Oppression and Accountability
Shifting Out of Neutral: Identity, Race, and Communication
Solidarity and Bystander Intervention
Understanding and Mitigating Unconscious Bias

Skills Training

I work with communities on train-the-trainer programs that teach and practice facilitation and dialogue skills, curriculum design, empathic listening, community-building, and more.

These programs can prepare organizations to run internal dialogue programming and bring dialogue approaches to running team meetings, managing employees, and working through conflicts.

Strategy and Action Planning

I work with individuals and organizations to implement meaningful change. This can take the form of action-planning sessions to walk leaders through a change model, formal strategic planning, or dialogue to help calibrate change efforts.

Learning Cohorts

Sustained learning and dialogue with a group of peers can be transformational. I love leading cohort experiences where individuals can form community, engage in deep learning, and work together to imagine—and plan for—a different future.

Immersive Travel

For over a decade, I’ve led educational trips for teens and adults to engage in deep learning about civil rights and social justice. These journeys combine visits to sites of historical significance, conversations with history-makers and civil rights leaders, and dialogue exercises that connect learning about the past to making commitments in the present. Travel programs have ranged from a few days to several weeks and have visited sites in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, DC.
