Courageous Spaces

Our Vision Envision a world where all people, whatever we look like, however we identify, feel ‘at home’ and able to fully live our lives. Where a community - whether a team, an organisation or a sector - welcomes everybody and is a source of warmth, relationship and belonging. By exploring the visible and invisible impact of race and racism on all of us we bring together all identities in a space of deeper understanding, connection and appreciation. We know from our work what is possible when the unspoken is voiced, shared and listened to. We know that these conversations aren’t always comfortable but they are rich and liberating. Our intention is to deepen relationship and extend connection. In our experience, when relationships are rooted in authenticity and courage, creativity and trust flourish. Who we are Courageous Spaces is a partnership of trainers & consultants who collectively have 100s of years experience of working creatively with conflict and personal development, of facilitating leadership development, restorative justice processes, safety, change management and cultural transformation. Our work is daring, experiential and playful. What we do We offer a range of services from consultancy, group and one to one coaching, facilitated discussion, experiential workshops. We work responsively and create a bespoke offer that meets your needs. We bring what’s in the background into the foreground and name the unspoken, creating an opportunity for human relationships to transform in the context of race and racism. This work creates a safe space that supports groups to begin having conversations that explore the impact of race and racism on their lives and the lives of others. Transformation requires commitment; this work goes beyond the required standard of cognitive understanding of concepts and digs deep into feelings and experience building on the journey of the awareness and moving into positive, practical cultural change.
