“La Sobremesa teamed up with Build With to design and facilitate a three-day, virtual retreat for IFIP (International Funders for Indigenous Peoples). Laurenellen led the co-design process that involved many people and experiences, from IFIP core staff, board, and other members of the coalition. They seamlessly wove in time for reflection and listening, with action and debate. We came to a very powerful agenda, which showed IFIP that a more collaborative space is not only possible but something their community wants.”
To anyone considering working with Build With, “Do it! Laurenellen is really comfortable with discomfort - the mark of any great facilitator or designer of collaborative, co-created spaces. Their able to allow for the normal ups and downs of a non-linear process, questioning, confusion, discomfort, excitement, and new ideas along the way. They're a great steward and I would highly recommend working with them!”
