A conscious business ecosystem for regenerative founders, visionaries, and creative individuals.

The landscape of business is changing 

I’m here to support conscious entrepreneurs in creating a higher standard of humankind – where community and collectivism are at the heart of all endeavours.

As an emergent strategist and ideas architect, I work with aspiring, soulful entrepreneurs and Earth-rooted individuals who are looking for refinement, an ethical, purpose-led approach to marketing and idea generation, and the creation of authentic relationships with their people.

If you are ready to move away from the tired, transactional exchange of goods and services, towards relationships, storytelling and intuitive forecasting, then welcome. I am here to co-create alongside you, bringing to life the visions of the future that you are yearning to see.

Creating a conscious business takes time and intention. 

Before you can go far, you must go deep. When we work together, we will focus on grounding down, creating from a place that’s uniquely you. We will work towards pulling out your unique voice and way of working, so that your offerings and messaging are a reflection of your true essence – alchemist, healer, storyteller, changemaker, luminary – we will unearth who you are at your core, and work from there. 

You are good at what you do because it is unique to you. Our approach is therefore bespoke, reflecting and aligning with your individuality. View our offerings, pick the pathway that most speaks to you, and get in touch.

Our Definitions

We do things a little differently here, so we’ve taken industry definitions and adapted them to fit with Forage’s ethos. Get to know our language.

  • Emergent strategy, as defined by adrienne maree brown, is about building authentic relationships, and listening with all the senses of the body and the mind. It is how we create intentional change that grows our capacity to embody the liberated worlds we long for. It is making love the central practice of organizers and leaders, where we understand that the strength of our movement is in the strength of our relationships.

  • Industry Definition

    Experiential marketing is the intersection of traditional marketing events and online business. It’s a way to connect with your audience, approaching them through experiences, rather than traditional marketing methods. 

    Our Approach

    At Forage, we are meaning makers, looking at everything through a cultural and Earth-focused lens. Our approach is slow experiential marketing, where we look at how your brand can build relationships and emotional bonds in more meaningful ways. Big, costly activations aren’t the only way to do this. As long as we are creating intentional touchpoints that elicit an emotional response, we are creating an experience. Our approach looks at deepening your marketing efforts so that your community feels valued, seen and delighted, allowing us to actually shift culture and create impactful change, no matter the scale.

  • Radical reciprocity, as coined by Forage founder Arti Jalan, is a way of being that embraces all aspects of community and collectivism. When we are radically reciprocal, our thinking changes to include the needs of ourselves and the collective at the same time, creating systems of real change that surpass transactional exchanges, and instead, deeply observes kindness, reverence, love, respect and care, for the betterment of all.

Refinement

Your Live Sounding Board

You’re here to soar to towering heights, full of aspirations, a purposeful mission and the desire to leave behind a living legacy. Though you might be working solo, you recognize that a singular tree thrives the most when surrounded by supportive forest kin. Think of me as your live sounding board, where we will spend our time together talking through your ideas, bouncing thought-pieces around, and collaboratively honing your vision.

The Essence

  • Refinement is a 1-Hour Kaizen - a Japanese word meaning continuous improvement or change for the better. After hearing from past clients on how much they valued having someone to act as their live sounding board, I designed this service to be a stand-alone offering. 

    This session is in the form of a 60-minute Zoom call, and the goal is for you to sit in sacred space with a safe, collaborative, and trusted person (me!), who will deeply and actively listen to your ideas and thought-process. Solopreneurship is wonderful, but it can be lonely, especially when we just need to talk things through with someone. You’ll walk away feeling supported, clear, and ready to take action, finally being able to see the forest for the trees.

  • This offering is for regenerative founders who are looking for:

    • Clarity on a project or idea

    • Help with organizing their thoughts

    • Someone to run their vision by (who is not a family member or friend)

    • A collaborative brainstorming session

    • Someone who will compassionately yet openly share constructive feedback (I will gently nudge you into expanded ways of thinking!)

    • A supportive person to act as their live sounding board

    This offering is available to you, whether you are in the beginning stages of building your business, or you are already an established founder, with new ideas on the horizon.

    • Deeply and actively listening, to anything that you need clarity on in your creative process

    • Having an aerial view into your business, which gives me an unbiased perspective, and the ability to observe patterns and details that might go unnoticed by you 

    • Passing an experienced eye over your product or service

    • Holding space for you to gently untangle some of the circular thoughts looping through your mind, that are all too common during the creative process. 

    • Creating a secure environment for open and honest conversation. Your ideas are sacred - they will not be shared with anyone outside of our call.

  • 60-minute 1:1 Zoom call 

  • $180 CAD

Emergence

Conscious Marketing & Relationship Building

You’re looking to deepen your marketing efforts, searching for ways to intentionally connect with your community. You know that establishing genuine connections is valuable, because relationship tending is the future of conscious marketing. This is how we create lasting resonance. It’s how we shift culture.

Whether you need an ideas architect to artfully build unique marketing concepts with, an Earth steward to guide you towards real sustainable and regenerative practices, or a shepherd who leads you into the nascent world of slow experiential marketing, I will be your guide, alchemizing your marketing strategy using my bespoke blend of radical reciprocity, storytelling and intuitive forecasting.

The Essence

Picking ripe, sun-warmed apricots from your organic garden, and adding them into your secret summer salad recipe to nourish and delight the dear folks gathered around your harvest table.

  • Emergence is a custom-crafted experience designed to help your business cultivate deeper connections and build meaningful community touchpoints. We’ll work together to explore how your brand can evolve into a more purposeful, aligned presence that resonates with the people you’re here to serve. Whether your project requires a single, focused 1-hour session on Zoom or a few thoughtful sessions to craft the ideal strategy, we’ll co-create a path forward that feels right for you. Our discovery call, along with my detailed questionnaire, will help us uncover the heart of your business and shape our time together in a way that feels truly resonant.

    • Build unique marketing concepts and emotional bonds that speak to you and to your community, delivering the value that they are yearning to see 

    • Evaluate your current marketing strategies and distribution channels, reshaping them to work better for you and your community 

    • Weave in real sustainable and regenerative practices that actually support you, your business, the collective and the Earth. To us, sustainability is a broad term encompassing everything that prioritizes nourishment and care for all. We will look at areas in your business where we might need to weave in wellbeing, cultural appreciation, ethics, reciprocity, ancestral and Earth wisdom, spiritual ecology etc.

    • Explore emergent ideas for slow experiential marketing that will create genuine relationships and touchpoints with your community, in a juicy way

    • Whittle down your grand ideas, creating efficiencies within your marketing strategy so that you have a clear, achievable and actionable roadmap to follow 

    • Unearth who you are at your core, so that your marketing comes from a place of presence, alignment, authenticity, and a genuine love of sharing the things you’ve created

    When we share this space together, we will engage in a powerful energy exchange rooted in reverence, care and mutualism. Co-creative collaboration is my jam, and you will walk away feeling expanded and ready to shift – your business and the collective.
