Creativity builds collective power, artful praxis connects them.

Artful Praxis Consulting (APC) supports the ecosystem of community-based organizations, nonprofits, service providing agencies, and movement practitioners in building solid organizational structures and processes towards a path of collaborative governance. Our work with organizations is about supporting their building of political homes by infusing culture tending and relationship-building practices in creating decentralized spaces for political education learning and cultivating a practice of joyful rigor. 

APC’s core values include:

  • solidarity in power-building

  • culture tending as both practice and strategy

  • communicating through conflict &

  • a commitment to creating decentralized spaces for individuals not currently part of a traditional organizing formation to build political home.

We do this through:

  • Consulting

    Strategy development, organizational capacity building, or advocacy planning.

  • Facilitation

    Community workshops, stakeholder meetings, or consensus-building processes.

  • Training & Capacity Building

    Develop leadership programs or skill-building workshops.

  • Evaluation

    Impact assessments, community feedback processes, or program improvement.

"I had the pleasure of working with and learning from Lolan continuously between 2021-2025 and could not be more delighted with the high caliber of items we co-created, co-facilitated, and implemented during that time. Lolan's breadth of knowledge contributed to LGBTQ+ health equity, organizational equity, moving data into practice, and anti-racist outputs at the local non-profit, state governmental, and national levels.

Their ability to build, sustain, and nourish community underpinned all structures we built."
