Community Conversations
Public dialogues and humanist storytelling
Community Dialogues and Public Talks
Let’s create conversations that matter.
I design, facilitate, and deliver live, in-person events—from TEDx talks to intimate community dialogues to signature events. These public conversations create space for people to come together, speak honestly, and find meaning in shared exploration.
See below for examples of some of these projects, dialogues, and talks.

Inspired by Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley and by my move to America, my community projects included a couple of 830 mile long conversations, which was a pilgrimage of listening to Nebraskans. Learn more about that endeavor at the 830Nebraska project website here.

all that ever was, always is
In collaboration with artist Watie White’s public art installation "all that ever was, always is," I designed a series of outdoor community conversations exploring race, equity, and belonging through the lens of art, place, and participation.
