WITH COMMUNITIES

Spruce is committed to working for social justice through strengthening relationships.

Realigning: Spruce begins with an appreciation for the system before suggesting any change. It can be challenging to choose to turn towards difficulty with curiosity and care. We establish practices to restore trust and realign to the mission. Not only does Spruce support existing projects, but we also create opportunities to bring people together to practice community.

  • Retreat development and facilitation. Individual and group sessions.

  • Art of Hosting, Imago Method, Open Space and Circle Approach.

  • To honor collective events and transitions.

Anastasia Gochnour has been working with our nonprofit to help us navigate the challenges that come with growth. Anastasia has learned the core of our agency all while building trust and connection to our team. She has honored the needs of our team as well as the integrity of our organizational mission during this incredible process. Our team is embracing new ways of communicating their needs, with her guidance. As an executive director, I have appreciated her clarity and transparency as the process unfolds. Knowing that we are putting the needs of our team at the center of this work assures me our non-profit will have the best chance possible at sustaining our deep commitment to our community.
