We've been guiding and facilitating small group experiences since 2011. We started with hosting meetups in our living room in New York City. Lots of them. Over the years, we realized that group process is our thing. Today, we're the co-founders of Sutra, a platform that is home to thousands of people participating in group learning experiences. And our Transformational Teaching Online program has helped hundreds of people discover what's possible with relational spaces online.
Our work with Sutra has supported the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma, leadership programs at UNICEF and the Presencing Institute, as well as many other organizations and individuals in creating online learning experiences that foster deep connection and communication.
Our background integrates a masters study from the Harvard Graduate School of Education with Theory U work from MIT professor Otto Scharmer and Immunity To Change methodologies from Harvard professors Robert Keegan and Lisa Lahey as well as relational practices inspired by Thomas Hubl.
If you really knew us you would know... that we're both certified yoga teachers and we love meditating with our dog Dakota :-)
Sutra has been a wonderfully supportive platform for our Warriors for the Human Spirit trainings. The Warrior community spans more than 30 countries and has 200 active members. We are about to expand to many more hundred and Sutra gives us confidence that we can manage large numbers without losing the quality of interactions and the depth of teachings.

I manage trainings with about 100 people and have to keep track of everyone while fostering a friendly and supportive community. Every platform I researched felt unsafe and couldn't support kinds of conversations that I know bring spiritual, personal, and communal transformation. When I found Sutra I instantly saw the value and have been a devoted user ever since.

There is something about the quality of Sutra that invites people to listen more deeply and be really intentional in action. On other social media, people throw anything out, but here, I see people taking a lot of care and really respecting the space. It nourishes me. I take care of it. It feels special … a special place and group. I think others might be feeling that too.
