What To Expect From This Coaching Circle

You will join a cohort of your peers in 12 virtual sessions facilitated by our seasoned coaches and healing justice practitioners. Sessions will alternate between engaging with timely leadership topics, and developing practices to cultivate a coaching approach in your leadership through facilitated peer coaching sessions that support leaders with real time challenges.

Please note that all of our sessions are highly interactive and require members to be present with each other.

Commitment & Expectations

Building the community that makes these coaching circles so special requires participants to trust and rely on one another for support. All sessions are highly interactive, and we ask all accepted applicants to commit to showing up for yourselves and each other for each session, knowing that there will be many competing priorities.

Therefore please only sign up if you can commit to attending ALL 12 virtual sessions and one-on-one coaching sessions. 

Please look at your calendar and review our upcoming session dates. If you cannot participate on one of the scheduled dates, please let us know in advance. To get the most out of your experience, we recommend participants miss no more than one session throughout the cohort.

Who This Offering Was Designed For

The coaching circles are designed for social justice-minded Executive Directors, and Co-Directors, who are wielding their power for greater movement and community impact.

If you are excited about connecting with other leaders and developing your liberatory leadership practice through discussion, support & reflection then we encourage you to apply!

If you hold a different leadership position in your organization, stay tuned! We're developing additional offerings and opportunities for leaders at different levels to participate in more learning and practice spaces.

Our Tiered Pricing Model  

We believe in making liberatory leadership development accessible while also honoring the decades of experience, care, and energy our team brings to this work. 

Which is why we’ve created two pathways for funding your participation in our circle: funder-covered & self-funded participation.

And thanks to the generosity of our philanthropic partners, we’re able to offset the cost for a limited number of self-funded leaders.

Funder-Covered Participation

Many participants in this cohort may have their enrollment fully covered by a funder or philanthropic partner, including grantee partners of: 

• Hive Fund for Climate & Gender Justice
• Irving Harris Foundation
• Wellspring Philanthropic Fund
• Groundswell Fund
• Ms. Foundation for Women

Not funded by one of our philanthropic partners? Feel free to use this template letter to start a conversation!

Self-Funded Participation

We’ve reserved a limited number of seats for leaders who are not connected to our current funding partners, but are still eager to join this experience. These participants may choose between the following pricing tiers based on their financial means and access to resources:

Kindred: $3,500

• For folks who are unable to pay the full cost of the offering at this time.

True Cost: $5,000

• For folks who are able to pay the full cost of the offering. 

Abundance: $6,500

• For folks who have the means and are able to offer more than the actual cost.
