I work with intentional communities at all stages of development (including redevelopment)
COACHING: I create a custom coaching schedule for each client, which can range from a weekly check-in to me coming to a monthly meeting with a founding group to coaching your in-house facilitators in how to navigate hard meetings.
TRAINING: I keep this document (pretty well) updated with a longer list of specific workshops and topics. The most frequently requested are Starting a Community, Consensus and topics specific to systems development (including labor and membership systems). I also teach regularly through the Foundation for Intentional Community.
FACILITATION: I have space each year to facilitate a few in person retreat weekends for communities in the Pacific Northwest or within a a couple day’s Amtrak trick to get to you from the PNW. I also teach facilitation, and can support your in-house facilitators in planning retreats or hard meetings.
PUBLIC SPEAKING: I’m happy to headline your conference, contribute a workshop to your gathering, or come help rally support for your community-in-development.
All my offerings are on a sliding scale. See the Pricing page for details.
“This course was excellent. Yana’s extensive experience and well-rounded expertise meant each class was chock full of wonderful nuggets. She had very useful handouts as well as exercises, and she had the art of online courses down with plenty of interaction as well. Loved it!”
