About Us
Vision
We envision a world where the planet and all who inhabit it experience love, dignity, and justice, and where resources and power are shared in ways that provide us all the opportunity to realize our potential, live life fully, and contribute to the well-being of people and planet.

Our Work
- Strengthening Leadership, Organizations, and Networks. We do this through coaching and consulting partnerships that advance transformative leadership, adaptive strategy, culture change, learning and evaluation, and other areas of capacity building.
- Deepening Cross-Movement Capacity for Liberating Transformation. We design creative, rigorous, and liberatory learning and practice spaces that bring together leaders across issue areas, roles, and geographies to deepen shared analysis of and practice in the elements of transformative change.
- Embodying Vision within Change Elemental. We create, adapt, experiment, and evolve our own organizational policies, systems, and culture toward vision, modeling the world we want as much as possible in the world we are in.
At Change Elemental, we are living into the possibility of the world we are trying to create.
Our work lays the groundwork for and provides experiential glimpses of a future of love, dignity, and justice. With partners, we navigate the tensions across, simultaneously dismantling systems of oppression, building liberating alternatives, and working to thrive within systems we are transforming. This requires nourishing vision, relationships, and our individual and collective well-being.
Together, we can create change that is exponentially more powerful and liberating than anything any of us can spark alone.

“Change Elemental’s Prefiguring Futures Lab was a sacred container where we stepped into the future we all long for. I have been trying…to offer moments that might feel for folks how the Lab felt for me—safe yet challenging, serious yet playful, loving without coddling, and so profoundly nourishing.”
