COMMUNITY WEAVING



how can belonging translate into empowerment?








︎︎︎


︎︎︎WHAT?


weaving community is the act and attitude of cultivating a sense of belonging, purpose, and support among groups. the focus becomes building inclusive spaces, where groups become community. people connect and collaborate, and create. the principle ‘nothing about them without them’ guides us along the ways.



︎︎︎HOW?


through careful planning, design, and implementation, community ventures realize your vision and objectives alongside those of your community members. we start meeting people where they are at, not where we want them to be. we acknowledge differences while focusing on cohesion. ‘nothing about them without them’ guides us as a principle along the way.

︎︎︎WHO?


i rely on several years of experience in weaving community among leaders in the non-profit and foundation worlds. i have curated fellowship cohorts, planned and implemented multiday retreats, designed and facilitated many moments of togetherness.

“Johannes is our go-to community-builder. He was also the architect and facilitator of our first international community summit, guiding our team and overseeing an event agency to produce a remarkably productive and touching experience for +80 people.”

wired for connection, when we gather with intention and inclusion, we start creating beyond our individual confines.




“We relied on the expertise and toolbox of Johannes to build an inclusive four-day intergenerational conference, which he also helped execute as a facilitator on stage. Working with Johannes came with a plethora of insights around interpersonal dynamics and activities design. If you need great experience design or facilitation, we wholeheartedly recommend his services. He is a warm person and a true professional, and I am grateful that I have had a chance to work with him.”
