“dale” (Old English) n: level or gently sloping ground between low hills with a stream flowing through it.
I am an independent co-creative coach, consultant and composer working toward healing, well-being and connection for all. I work with individuals and groups, engaging the wisdom of all in shared leadership and co-learning. I currently offer individual coaching, work as the Communities Healing Together Coach at Garden State Equality, facilitate peer coaching groups, and am a company member at Wonderlust Productions in the Twin Cities, MN. From 2001-2020, I worked as the Chief Program Officer at Minnesota Communities Caring for Children where I oversaw community education and engagement work toward Understanding NEAR (Neuroscience, Epigenetics, ACEs and Resilience) and building self-healing communities. I have been giving the ACE Interface talk Understanding ACES/NEAR: Building Self-Healing Communities since 2013 and have supported hundreds of others to present it and engage their communities in creative response to individual and collective trauma. I have taught coaching skills to community members to use as they co-create shared visions for their communities. In the 1980s and 90s, I worked as the coordinator of the West Side Family Center, as a women’s and children’s advocate at Casa de Esperanza shelter, and as a camp counselor. I am passionate about working for racial justice and experimenting with new economic and system models that build equity and justice for people, all living beings, and the natural world.

What does it cost to work with me? I am experimenting with working in “the gift economy”. That means I agree to do things that I feel joy doing offering them as a gift and, knowing that I need money to live in this world (I am not independently wealthy!), I hope those receiving my offerings will consider a return financial gift factoring their received value of what I offered, their means, equity, and a bunch of other things that I outline in more detail here.
