Consulting with Soul
Alma Partners is a diverse, multiracial, multigenerational group of 11 experienced consultants and facilitators who offer workshops, courses, Student Leadership Conferences, organizational audits, individual and group consultation, strategic planning, curriculum review and development, and more for schools and other organizations.
Founded in 2020 after 10 years of germination, we are unique in having decades of experience in schools, non-profits, and movements for social justice, while understanding the imperatives for educators to bring age-appropriate content to students and organizational leaders to build bridges and navigate differing opinions in their communities.
Drawing on our individual and collective background leading transformational, anti-racist, anti-bias work with soul (“alma” in Spanish), we are currently engaged with several non-profit organizations as well as about 40 schools (public and private), mainly in the Waldorf movement in the US and Canada. Our unique, heart-centered, relationship-based approach is also well-suited to Montessori schools and other independent schools, as well as homeschooling groups. Contact us about customized content for your organization.
We help organizations bridge the gap that sometimes opens up between ideals and actions.
We drive culture change with our clients and put relationships at the core of everything we do – within our organization and yours.
We guide and support you to identify ways to transform and thrive, more deeply aligning your practices with your organization’s fundamental values.
We work online and in-person, partnering with you on long-term organizational goals and helping you solve short-term challenges
What We Offer
Our Core Values
See the Alma Partners Glossary for our definitions of key terms like diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice.
-
We approach uncomfortable, messy, challenging, complex, and vulnerable realities with courage and kindness. We aim to be honest, to be humble, to work from depth and possibility. Our guiding principle is love.
-
We seek to model the world we imagine. With each other, we build connection, demonstrate respect, and practice care. With our work, we continuously review and adapt what we offer and how we offer it. With clients, we support healing and evolution. We do our best to be authentic, responsive, and accountable.
-
We strive to build a world where all people are seen, treated with dignity, and free to express their full selves. Refusing to oversimplify the subtleties of human experience, we recognize and attend to the compounding effects of oppression on the identities of each person and group. We appreciate difference and work to build shared understanding.
-
We express our values in our lives, relationships, and communities. We strive to define and articulate the ideals of diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice, integrating them into our actions and ways of being. We have been involved in this endeavor for decades and are committed to engaging with this work as a lifelong journey.
-
We are dedicated to having a practical, meaningful impact. We aim to be accessible for a range of budgets and types of organizations, and for people of different abilities and learning styles. We ask for and integrate feedback. Offering resources, building capacity, and sharing a lifelong commitment to our own learning, we begin with self-study and inner work as a necessary foundation for collaboration, community education, and transformation.
