Informed by Space as Metaphor by Rev. Dr. Robert Levey, EcoDialogues makes room for ethical reflection, emotional clarity, and collective insight in a world shaped by speed, certainty, and fragmentation.
Who is it for?
If you are navigating complexity, doing culture work, aligning across functions, or moving through change, EcoDialogues is designed for you. It works well for individuals, pairs, and small teams—virtual or in‑person.
Individuals: You are weighing a hard decision with conflicting priorities. In dialogue, you slow down, sort signal from noise, and name a next step you can act on now.
Pairs: Two leads see the same project differently. Instead of debating, you witness each other’s perspectives, surface assumptions, and clarify shared intent for aligned action.
Small teams: A cross‑functional group (e.g., product, operations, communications) is stuck. You map what each role is holding, notice overlaps and tensions, and agree on a small, testable move that respects the whole system.
How it Works
EcoDialogues unfolds over three interconnected sessions, each designed to guide participants through a deeper exploration of themselves and their external environments.
Session One: Internal Space (Self)
Through guided questions, somatic awareness, and reflective silence, the first session invites participants to slow down and investigate the internal spaces that shape their actions.
Session Two: Shared Space (Relational)
This session brings participants into relational dialogue—not to debate or align—with a focus on how different internal spaces interact, intersect, or resist one another.
Session Three: The Field (Systems)
The final session expands the view with a focus on how internal and shared spaces participate in a larger field—organizational culture, social systems, and collective memory.
30-Minute Intro Sessions
During our pilot in NH and northern MA, we are offering 30-minute one-on-one virtual EcoDialogues to introduce the approach, share the rationale behind it, and offer a real experience of how full EcoDialogues sessions unfold.
In this introductory session, you will not only be able to evaluate if EcoDialogues is right for you and/or your organization, but you will also walk away with practical insights you can immediately apply in your personal and professional life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EcoDialogues?
EcoDialogues is a facilitated, three-session dialogue cycle that helps you pause, listen, and see challenges in a new light. It’s not therapy or coaching—it’s a structured dialogue process that moves from self-reflection (Internal Space) to relational dynamics (Shared Space) to systems awareness (The Field). You leave with clearer perspectives and a practical next step.
Who is it for?
Anyone navigating complexity, culture work, cross-functional alignment, or change. This includes individuals facing tough decisions, pairs working through different perspectives, and small teams building trust and collaboration. No prior experience needed—just willingness to pause and reflect.
