Ireland & New Zealand
Combining her academic background in Management, Innovation & Entrepreneurship with her training in Regenerative Design & Development from The Regenesis Institute, Ciara has spent the last six years working with businesses and institutions on organisational change; sustainability and regeneration; and with communities on regenerative development and creative climate action projects. She has worked across New Zealand, Ireland, Germany, and the UK.
With one foot planted firmly in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and the other in Éire (Ireland), Ciara holds strong environmental ethics and a deep reverence for traditional song, story and ceremony. She is passionate about creating lasting systemic change, and believes that for change to be sustained it must be embodied. Change is best embodied through culture, which is why Ciara draws on storytelling, restorative circles, movement, somatic and creative practice in her work.
As a highly empathetic person, Ciara has a unique ability to form trusting, impactful relationships with people from all walks of life. Her facilitation allows people to sense what change is needed to improve the vitality of their business or community and the living system they are nested in.
Her business acumen and experience in sustainability consulting, project management, organisational development and change, marketing and communications mean that she is determined to deliver clear and tangible results.
We facilitate an organisation’s, communities or places’ development, not only through analysis and optimisation, but through relationship, culture and place. It is the alignment of these three things that ensures an organisation can create positive environmental and social outcomes; and lead the way forward in the polycrisis we are in.
We understand why people have more trust today in businesses than they do in institutions or government. We don´t think this is a good thing. However, it means that if we create widespread change in the way businesses operate by shifting business models from extraction to regeneration, operating within planetary boundaries, as well as advocating and lobbying for social justice; we will see society transform more quickly than if we wait to be saved from a world of our own making.
