When the trust architecture is fractured, the work suffers.

You’ve built a mission-driven company, but the engine is sputtering. You’re seeing high turnover, decision paralysis, and silos that shouldn’t exist in a team like yours. You don’t need more communication tools; you need a foundational rebuild.

This is for you if:

  • People are leaving because “it just doesn’t feel right.”
  • Decisions stall because everyone is waiting for permission.
  • Your team is exhausted from performing instead of creating.
  • You’re ready for structural change, not a quick fix.

Our Operating System: The Regenerative Leadership Framework (REBEL)

We don’t do corporate role-play. We use the REBEL methodology—a regenerative leadership framework—to move your team from fragmentation to wholeness.

  • R – Reframe: Shift the Lens. Instead of asking “What’s the problem?” we ask “What else could this be?” or “What’s the opportunity we’re missing?” A single question can change the entire trajectory of a project.
  • E – Energize: Lead from Presence, Not Survival. You cannot create anything new from a depleted place. We teach you to check in with what you need in the moment—space, play, or grounding—so you can lead without reacting to the pressure.
  • B – Break Pattern: Interrupt the Autopilot. When you notice the same meeting loops, objections, or assumptions repeating, we intervene. Even a micro-shift in how you show up can break a years-long cycle of stagnation.
  • E – Experiment: Move Toward the New. This is about action. Try something. Say it differently. Put the “weird” idea on the table. We create the safe container for the messy innovation that actually moves the needle.
  • L – Listen Deeply: Hear the Subtext. We listen for what isn’t being said—the body language, the signals, and the assumptions. This level of listening is what transforms a collaboration from “fine” to “formidable.”

Build a foundation that lasts.

Rebuilding trust isn’t a one-day event—it’s a commitment to a new way of operating. By investing in the architecture of your team, you create the resilience needed to lead through uncertainty and the integrity required to sustain it. This is the core of contemplative leadership development: building the internal and collective capacity to stay steady in the storm.

Disrupting the Pattern.

We identify what you’re actually “protecting” and use play-based methodology to break through ego-defenses.

Building the New

We co-create new agreements and use creative visioning to design a sustainable “future state.”

3-Month Integration

Transformation isn’t a weekend; it’s a practice. We provide bi-weekly coaching (1-on-1 and team) to ensure the work sticks.

What People are Saying

Here is what happens when leadership teams stop performing and start doing the honest work of rebuilding their foundation.

  • We left the experience not only with sharper insights and actionable commitments, but also with a renewed sense of courage, collaboration, and shared vision. It’s a rare thing to walk away from a workshop with both practical tools and genuine inspiration. Heather made that possible.

FAQ

Trust architecture is the invisible structure that holds a team together: the agreements, communication rituals, and embodied cues that allow a group to self‑organize. It’s the difference between hoping trust will emerge and building the conditions that make trust inevitable. This is the foundation of organizational culture and trust.

Integrity is the alignment of what we say, what we do, and how we feel. This framework audits all three layers — structural, relational, and somatic — to ensure your culture isn’t just a values statement on a wall but a lived, felt, and regenerative reality. Trust architecture restores coherence where culture and behavior have drifted apart.

Architecture requires maintenance. During the intensive, your team learns how to conduct its own “integrity audits” and apply regenerative leadership practices long after the training ends. The goal is not dependency — it’s internal capacity.

Absolutely. Trust architecture is designed to enhance your existing systems, not replace them. It provides the “human software” — the relational, cultural, and contemplative leadership practices — that make your current structures actually function as intended.

The Diagnostic identifies the pattern.
The Architecture of Trust builds the solution.

This 2‑day intensive uses the REBEL Framework to create a new operating system for your team — shifting from extractive habits to regenerative trust, and from reactive culture to intentional, aligned collaboration.

REBEL is a non‑prescriptive methodology — a menu of practices that help teams navigate periods of collapse, transition, and creation. It supports contemplative leadership development by helping groups remember who they are beneath performance pressure and return to integrity.

Somatic leadership is the embodied dimension of trust architecture. We help teams shift from reactivity into grounded presence so they can handle tension, conflict, and high‑stakes moments without collapsing into silence, avoidance, or shadow work. It’s one strand of a larger regenerative leadership framework.

This work is ideal for leadership teams or cross‑functional groups (up to 20 people) who have the influence — and the willingness — to shift organizational culture. It’s for teams ready to rebuild their foundation with honesty, clarity, and regenerative practices.

Let’s Talk About Your Team.

This work requires vulnerability and a willingness to do things differently. If you’re ready—or even just curious—let’s have an honest conversation. No pressure, no sales pitch.
