Anna-Marie Swan

I am in deep 💚 with what’s needed to steward humane, relational-led organisations and communities that build deep roots internally and externally; self- and shared-enquiry; embodied facilitation; stewardship and commons; and exploring ‘what’s alive here?’ to disrupt unhealthy patterns, alchemise healthy ones, and as a route into reconciliation and repair.

Through Open Facilitation, where I am a co-founder, I work with clients as a consultant or facilitator, joining their project for an agreed time, or as a reflective, investigative partner.

My work covers:
* the design and facilitation of healthy, humane, relational-led, and lively organisations and communities.
* how we might root our organisations and communities in our local and regional environments.
* self-organisation and distributed decision-making.
* implementing Ostrom's design principles for commons into organisations and communities.
* disrupting unhealthy group patterns, and alchemising new ones.
* organisational clarity and alignment.
* relational and organisational reconciliation and repair.
* organisational and community stewardship.
* the role of embodied facilitation.

I am trained in Sociocracy 3.0, a partner in a Holacracy-governed org., and the founder of the small donation-based non-profit Seaspray Collective. 

I write a Substack focused on my work, and am learning how to DJ.
