Co-creating

expansive possibilities

Imaginal Cells Collective is a collective of facilitators and coaches who work in the realms of leadership and social and environmental movements for justice-oriented change. Our work centers abundant, connective, and transformative relationships for more liberatory futures.

  • "As a result of working with ICC, our team is talking openly about things we couldn't before - conflict, collective care, power and leadership - and finding new ways to work together toward our own liberation."

What we do

We partner with individuals, organizations, and communities through coaching, facilitation, gatherings, retreats, and culture change to create embodied spaces for healing, transformation, belonging, and (re)connection – to ourselves, each other, and the natural world.

Facilitation

ICC facilitates retreats, gatherings, and meetings for connection, authenticity, and strategic alignment. With decades of experience facilitating, ICC provides transparent facilitation that honors emergent needs and strategic priorities for outcomes that meet the goals of both participants and organizers.

Conflict

ICC shifts conflict patterns and systems to ones that center care and transformation by offering mediation, group coaching, restorative circles, and tools. We support assessing power dynamics, communicating clearly, navigating choice points, and embodying different behaviors in conflict.

Coaching

Using tools like deep listening, mirroring, and powerful questions during coaching, ICC can help individuals and leaders feel heard, seen, and held as they experience challenges and seek to move forward in a values-aligned manner.

How We Do It

Offering spaces to heal, rest, and restore

Imaginal Cells Collective is passionate about opening up spaces for organizations, leaders, and individuals to more deeply align with their values and vision to live out the change they imagine for their communities.

We do this work together

As a collective ourselves, ICC believes we are stronger as a community. We work to co-create inclusive, accessible, and supportive spaces for all. Challenging dominant and exclusionary systems of power-hoarding, decision making, and paternalism, we seek to create futures where different forms of leadership, knowledge, and power are celebrated and utilized to create opportunities for all to thrive.
