Anemochory Consulting

Decolonial Consulting

Where Workshops and Facilitated Communities allow for group and cohort-based experiencing and learning, some staff may also benefit from tailored, 1:1 support. Our Decolonial Consulting services provide individual time and space for leaders and/or people from equity-denied groups to be heard, affirmed, and be supported through their challenges with dignity, care, empathy, and respect. 1-hour sessions are offered in blocks of 3, 6, 9, or 12 sessions which can be held weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. Sessions are offered virtually across so-called North America and in-person in the Greater Toronto Area.

Decolonial Consulting services include:

  • Clarifying Conversations: These sessions support leaders to work through a problem that seems too complex, overwhelming, or amorphous to solve. If you feel stuck, not sure which direction to go, or where to start, these sessions can help cut through the fog of doubt and indecision, present new perspectives, and identify both root causes and acute impacts. 
  • Seasonal Sittings: Many non-profits talk about working seasonally. But are you really making the best of your slower periods to support the busy spring and fall seasons? We offer summer and winter sessions that support Executive Directors and leaders to leverage seasonal energies by engaging in targeted reflection of where the organization is at, and where it could go in the coming months. Summer sessions (July and August) focus on setting the organization up for “harvesting” success from Sept to December. Winter sessions (January and February) focus on assessing the previous harvest for valuable lessons, then setting the organization up for “planting” success from March to June. 
  • Resonant Reflections: Designed for leaders and staff with equity-denied identities (2SLGBTQIA+, Black or racialized, neurodivergent, or any combination), these sessions provide an affirming space to be witnessed and heard in their challenges, no longer feel alone in their struggles, celebrate their joys, and be supported in working through related traumas. 

Our Decolonial Consulting services also include staff experience surveys and reports, program and volunteer program reviews, and other projects that require an empathetic, human-centred approach. Do you have a specific project in mind? Get in touch and tell us about it. 

Our Impact

For some people, JEDI refers to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) communities. We view inclusion more broadly with the goal of leaving no one behind. Our organizational consulting services include fostering belonging for communities and people identifying as:

  • Racialized
  • Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Metis)
  • Women and gender-diverse people
  • 2SLGBTQIA+
  • People with Disabilities
  • Newcomers and refugees
  • Neurodiverse people

“Anna-Liza brings diverse expertise and knowledge, a critical and analytical lens, a firm grounding in contemporary conditions and contexts, and a commitment and passion to the work that is so necessary given the weight and complexity of the issues being addressed. My experience with Anna-Liza ranges from working in coalitions, research, event-planning, communications and messaging, knowledge translation and mobilization, and community building. In every instance, Anna-Liza brings her all to the table, in reciprocity and respect.”
