OBSIDIAN EDGE
Equity | Resilience | Sustainability | Wellness

Our Approach
-

Equity-Driven Activation
Like obsidian, we help individuals and organizations cut through systemic harm and align with justice. Our strategies center collective accountability, sustainable impact, and global solidarity—drawing on ancestral wisdom to co-create a liberated future.
-

Rooted In Resilience
Resilience and wellness are the foundation of strong people and movements. Through spiritual practice and mindfulness, we cut through barriers, build trust, and nurture relationships rooted in healing, sustainability, and collective well-being.
-

Holisitic Regenerative Strategies
Sustainability must include the mental, physical, and ecological health of communities. A holistic approach supports regeneration, cooperation, and equity—creating pathways for restoration, empowerment, and collective thriving.
-

Transformative Praxis
We support individuals and organizations with transformative tools to build leadership, address disruption, align with values, and foster accountability. Through reflection and collaboration, we grow resilience to navigate complexity and achieve lasting impact.
Our Services
-
We treat evaluation as ritual. Our assessments are not just metrics, they’re mirrors. We help you measure what matters: alignment, impact, and healing. Through a culturally rooted and data-informed process, we surface equity gaps, movement tensions, and opportunities for transformation. The goal: strategic clarity with soul.
-
Your structure reflects your spirit. Whether building out nonprofit governance (C3/C4), shifting internal culture, business incubation, or evolving leadership flow, we help you root your systems in justice. Designed for mighty teams with lean capacity, we offer tools to elevate collective rhythm, trust, and long-term sustainability.
-
Resource work is spiritual work. We build fundraising strategies rooted in trust, reciprocity, and relationship, not scarcity or survival. We support grant writing, donor communications, and access to aligned networks.
-
Equity isn't a checkbox, it's a living practice. Humanity and human values form a critical ecosystem, much like nature itself. We offer assessments, trainings, and deep structural work to shift how power moves within your organization. We don't just analyze bias; we hold people accountable to it, co-designing cultures where justice is embodied at every level.
-
We coach with care and clarity. Whether you’re an emerging leader, seasoned executive, or team navigating transition, our coaching holds space for complexity. With a foundation in somatics, spirit, and strategic grounding, we support you in leading from your purpose, not your performancescription
-
Conflict is sacred when handled with care. We facilitate spaces for healing, restoration, and transformation, not avoidance. Conflict avoidance is not creating harmony or is it step toward our healing journey. Drawing from somatics, spiritual traditions, and movement wisdom, we support organizations in navigating rupture and returning to right relationship.
-
We design gatherings that feed the soul and sharpen the vision. Whether strategic retreats, trainings, or internal convenings, we create containers rooted in justice, spiritual grounding, and collective clarity. When we gather with intention, we shift what's possible.
