Get Free Collaborative Practices:

Consulting & Training

Conventional organizations prioritize efficiency and conformity over authenticity and collaboration. This results in urgency-driven cultures, interpersonal friction, and broken trust. All of these hinder the ability of teams to work well together.


The Get Free Collaborative Practices reframe common organizational and relational challenges into opportunities. Together, we lay a foundation of shared language, tools, and structures that support teams to more effectively collaborate as one responsive and integrated body. 

Our Approach

Radical change collectives consistently stay in connection with each other, even when individual survival feels threatened.

Consulting

Our tailored consulting services put the Get Free approach into action. They integrate the coaching practices and training frameworks with operational structures in service of actualizing the following outcomes:

  • Healing the divides within groups

  • Working autonomously while holding ourselves and others mutually accountable

  • Discerning structural problems from interpersonal challenges

  • Aligning our behaviors with our values

  • Reorienting our relationship to individual and collective power

    Making Radical Liberation Practical and Actionable

“Miakoda's unique gift of embodied presence made a deep and lasting impact. I continue to integrate many of the practices and learnings from our time together in my life and work many years later.”

—Colin Mutchler, Facilitator Training Participant

“Five years later and I can truly say there is hardly a day that goes by that I don’t resource myself with the tools and framework from Miakoda’s body of work. This applies to my personal, professional, and community relationships equally. I have an abundance of practices to root myself in my dignity, wisdom and curiosity while staying open to the impacts and lessons that inevitably arise when committed to collective liberation.”
