mary-alice arthur / new zealand
Mary Alice Arthur is a facilitator for inspired change. The word ‘facilitator’ comes from the Latin root ‘facile’, ‘to make easy’. Mary-Alice’s key focus is in creating spaces for people to do their best work together. ‘Inspired’ harkens to the ability she has to help people to look at their situation from the perspective of positive possibility. ‘Change’ comes when people are supported first to honour, and then move from their strengths, to common and then higher ground.
Mary Alice Arthur is a life-long intentional nomad and on the way has been gathering wit and wisdom from the world in the form of stories, mythologies, teachings and learnings, which weave their way into her life and work. She has been a facilitator for inspired change over the last 15 years with groups of all kinds; from strategically focused projects to visioning and large group work. Her work has the intention of witnessing and supporting authentic mastery. www.getsoaring.org |
