The 3-Month Co-Creative Partnership

The Co-Active Adaptation™ Co-creative Partnership is open to clients who have been through the 30-day Doom to Bloom™ series and those who are new to working with me.

If you are a client who has chosen to make big moves (starting a new enterprise, moving to a new country, dramatically shifting the scope of your work), you can add this three-month partnership at any point after your 30-day Doom to Bloom™ series is completed. 

And if you are a new client with a clear idea of what you want to change, and you already recognize that you want a co-creative partner as you dive into your transformative experience of decision-making and action, you can begin with the Co-Active Adaptation™ program right now.

From burned-out big-city workaholic to low-key rural conservationist:

¨Maya, I think the conversation with you I value most was about building a local community. And it stuns me to say that, as I grew up in a small town and loved the warmth and closeness of it. It´s shocking how far away I got from that early lesson in reciprocity and care. 

Then, going through Dad´s tools in his workshop reminded me of what was possible in a quieter life. 

I realized how lonely I was, how I had been isolating, and how it had ruined my relationships.

Now, I feel rooted. I have neighbors I have taken the time to get to know.  We´re a mixed bunch, to be sure, and we don´t always agree, but we are friends who take care of each other. I am learning so much from them.

As you know, I wanted to feel like I was making amends. So, being able to start a non-profit, buy and donate 93 acres of degraded former industrial land near the river that serves all life here feels like the best kind of giving back.

Of course, the best reward is my renewed relationship with my amazing son. What a gift! And to have him working beside me to restore this cottage using Dad´s tools is the greatest experience I could imagine.

I cannot thank you enough for helping me imagine and create this new life.¨

From frustrated non-profit leader to engaged founder in her local community:

"I was exhausted by the increase in animosity toward members of the LGBTQ+ community. From federal funding cuts for our critical work to heightened levels of violence, I no longer felt safe or supported in the city where I had lived for over 15 years. 

Working with Maya helped me navigate new terrain after my resignation. I was experiencing grief and resentment, and she really helped me metabolize both.

My wife and I moved to a community we love in another state. I saw a niche I longed to fill, and I have been warmly welcomed here! 

I especially appreciated Maya's compassion and understanding based on her own experience with LGBTQ+ members of her family. She was insightful, kind, and a great co-creator in imagining what was possible for me. I highly recommend her.¨

From anxious climate employee to hometown hero:

¨Things were pretty bleak for me. I got laid off due to funding cuts for climate projects, and my dad was going through chemo.

Maya was absolutely instrumental in helping me see what I was longing for, and then taking steps to actually make it happen.

Moving back home to help Mom and spend time with my father was exactly the right decision. Maya inspired me every step of the way. Even small things like reaching out to old high school friends really had a major impact!

I have created a life for myself that ticks boxes I didn´t even know I had. I am excited to get up every day and help people get funding to start amazing projects right here in the community where I grew up.

And I even reconnected with the proverbial girl next door! Seriously, everything is in flow.¨
