Growing a New Heart is a collective of like-minded leaders in the fields of social justice advocacy, sexual and domestic violence, addictions, art, communications, dispute resolution, community building and self healing. Our mission is to facilitate deeply respectful and ethical power relationships and communications in our families, our workplaces and communities through training, retreats, writing, storytelling, traditional indigenous healing practices, and the arts. We hope you’ll join us.
Transformative Justice
All of our offerings reflect our Emergent Liberation Strategy—an approach that supports people in engaging personally with our frameworks so they can more effectively expand their impact on others. We help cultivate our readiness, humility and insight by engaging with ancient global wisdom teachings from many traditions and the insights of lived experience, bolstered by evidence informed practice.
We work with people so that their small groups can skilfully build trust, cohesion and loving mutual accountability in a way that makes each member feel cared for as they learn and grow. Our job is to strengthen relationships so that people can then find natural partnerships, clarify their principles and unleash their creative selves as they craft new outcomes, unimpeded by competition and distrust.
