Here are some of our favorite excerpts: Starfish: “From Starfish I have learned that if we keep our core intact, we can regenerate. We can fall apart, lose limbs, and re-grow them as long as we don’t let anyone threaten that central disc’s integrity. We can grow so many different arms, depending on what kind of sea star we are. We have to nourish ourselves with the resources we are surrounded by, with our community assets if you will, and by doing so we help keep ecosystems delicately balanced.”—JoLillian T. Zwerdling Dandelion: My favorite life forms right now are dandelions and mushrooms—the resilience in these structures, which we think of as weeds and fungi, the incomprehensible scale, the clarity of identity, excites me… [D]andelions spread not only themselves but their community structure, manifesting their essential qualities (which include healing and detoxifying the human body) to proliferate and thrive in a new environment. The resilience of these life forms is that they evolve while maintaining core practices that ensure their survival. The dandelion flower head can change into a white, globular seed head overnight. Each seed has a tiny parachute that allows it to spread far and wide in the wind. The entire plant has medicinal properties. Dandelions are often mistakenly identified as weeds, aggressively removed, but are hard to uproot; the top is pulled but the long taproot remains. Resilience. Resistance. Regeneration. Decentralization. Starlings: The synchronized movement patterns of a starling flock is also known as a murmuration. Guided by simple rules, starling murmurations can react to their environment as a group without a central leader orchestrating their choices; in any instant, any part of the flock can transform the movement of the whole flock. Collective leadership/partnership. Adaptability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1562087912741-JX2XKVX8CKGZIQ4F2UEY/image-asset.jpeg Home https://www.starlioncollective.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2019-07-02 https://www.starlioncollective.com/what-we-do daily 0.75 2019-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1573004373225-NKFBLHHEBQH2QTPWYEW2/image-asset.jpeg What We Do - Strategic Visioning & Thought-Partnership We partner with groups and organizations to collaboratively identify a shared purpose horizon and pathways to get there. At the same time, we support mindsets and practices of emergence and experimentation, that enable adaptation to the ever-changing landscape without losing sight of strategic direction. Inspired by principles of human-centered design and design thinking, our approach utilizes creative technologies that integrate holistic thinking, to guide groups through a process of collective discovery, ideating, prototyping, and sense-making as a means to determine a clear, collective path forward. We are committed to supporting individuals, groups, and organizations to see past false binaries and find a "third way." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1573005305096-QH0DBV12D7BIU9PBD09F/image-asset.jpeg What We Do - Research & Evaluation: Surfacing Stories & Measuring Impact We partner with individuals, groups and organizations to create cultures of evaluative thinking, and strengthen the capacity of communities to lead inquiries into issues that are meaningful to them. We do this by [1] using creative, culturally-rooted, and participatory methodologies to surface diverse perspectives and ways of knowing, identify assumptions, lift up what may be missing, and pursue deeper understanding; and [2] nurturing the skills and reflective practices that already exist in communities to generate knowledge and create solutions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1573004613672-6A60NVG1QLY1F0BRHRNH/image-asset.jpeg What We Do - Strengths-Based Capacity Building We see the strengths and aspirations that communities and individuals have, as the starting place for our work. We provide coaching, mentorship, and other technical assistance that deepens, expands, and builds on those assets in order to move forward with purpose and achieve a wide range of objectives. We do this by designing and facilitating processes that [1] cultivate inner alignment -- that is, helping to rediscover, embrace, and activate inner knowing; and [2] elicit the wisdom that exists in the collective to drive sustainable solutions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1562088614734-ZJ3CHEFAAK217VCDUTPL/image-asset.jpeg What We Do https://www.starlioncollective.com/our-partners daily 0.75 2023-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/301aedce-37eb-41fb-a713-4a0e5c5f5676/Susan_Photo3_2017_LEAP.JPG Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/43721de7-bcee-40c3-97f3-f335622ddb29/LLC+Logo_2022.jpg Our Partners - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/f5e398a3-77d1-47d4-af36-27f66c04bd85/The+Equity+Collective.png Our Partners - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/e1a22a2b-2730-405c-9c66-2b293c9ad7bf/CElogo.png Our Partners - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/d6935b9a-e484-4a87-ac0d-63c1cc9e639a/Visualizing+Change+logo.png Our Partners - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.starlioncollective.com/our-story daily 0.75 2023-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1675802312420-A8SZF67TGBWSLOPQ9474/unsplash-image-U4zohVXjQaE.jpg It All Started When https://www.starlioncollective.com/mission-values daily 0.75 2020-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1571769029541-8QOHXSE484X5U66805R6/image-asset.jpeg Our Mission & Values - oUR vALUES Collective Wisdom Wholeness Sacred Responsibility Radical Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1571768277461-DR55BKWF2MXWRHBGRT34/image-asset.jpeg Our Mission & Values - Our Mission The StarLion Collective seeks to deepen transformative leadership among social movement activists to advance wholeness and healing in our relationships to ourselves, each other, and the land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1569909244591-VMBJGGY1WS1VL321B7VO/image-asset.jpeg Our Mission & Values https://www.starlioncollective.com/our-team daily 0.75 2024-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1571266727048-SSQ1XZODJDMU9R9RH0FT/DSCF6128_mincropped.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1571266841557-J5RTA22UOWSSDCD2BZ4H/DSCF6096.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1571266872293-QUWIOAQRPY4N2V8S4UFN/DSCF6066.jpg Our Team https://www.starlioncollective.com/approach daily 0.75 2019-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1b911db0d7840001aaa1b1/1569912067990-42VVGJ2C92VICAXETXB1/image-asset.jpeg Our Approach
