our partners

partner with us

  • at oaks + oars, we partner with institutions, coalitions, communities, and individuals who are ready to think deeply, act boldly, and build what doesn’t yet exist.

    whether you’re navigating entrenched systems or dreaming new ones into being, we offer bespoke frameworks, immersive labs, and collaborative engagements that honor complexity and prioritize transformation over transaction.

    we’re not here for surface change. we’re here to co-create what lasts.

  • long-term thinking for regenerative futures

    a facilitated deep-dive into your organization’s direction, rooted in long arc strategy, resilience modeling, and values-led decision-making. we bring together systems thinking, climate futurism, and community wisdom to create adaptive, enduring strategies rooted in the human existence and the lived experience.

    includes:

    • multi-day visioning + systems mapping

    • long-term modeling (social, ecological, and organizational)

    • strategy documentation + leadership brief

    • optional: Integration retreat or team recalibration

    engagement range: 1–3 months

    let’s create what will outlive us.

  • leadership labs for radical navigators

    leadership is no longer about control—it’s about coherence, care, and courage. these workshops train leaders, educators, and facilitators to build inner resilience and adaptive intelligence while navigating complex external systems. this is trauma-informed, anti-fragile, future-oriented leadership work.

    includes:

    • 1–2 day immersive workshop (virtual or in-person)

    • custom frameworks rooted in regenerative design & equity

    • follow-up tools for integration

    • optional: certification for internal facilitators

    let’s row in rhythm for these deeper tides.

  • strategic insight + grounded foresight

    oaks + oars produces original, applied research rooted in the lived realities of frontline practitioners and emerging regenerative models. from climate grief to ethical technology to cultural transitions, we make research accessible, actionable, and artful.

    includes:

    • custom field research design

    • co-authored reports or publications

    • visual storytelling + multimedia dissemination

    • policy or narrative strategy recommendations

    let’s turn insight into a movement.

  • organizational healing + systems repair

    some systems don’t need scaling—they need repair. oaks + oars works with institutions and coalitions in transition, conflict, or collapse to pause, reflect, and restructure with intention and integrity.

    includes:

    • organizational diagnostics + alignment mapping

    • conflict transformation + values clarification

    • system repair plans + cultural reboot sessions

    • optional: leadership coaching and realignment

    engagement: 4–12 weeks

    come in broken. leave realigned.

  • curated salons for emergent collaboration

    we curate intimate gatherings of multi-disciplinary leaders to build shared language, creative trust, and aligned experiments. think of this as a braintrust meets retreat meets vision sprint.

    • design & facilitation of 1–3 day gatherings

    • pre-event stakeholder mapping

    • artistic interventions + nature-based integration

    • optional: multi-media archive or publication
