Vanessa Reid

I work with systems both big and small that are in fundamental shift and in transformation. I accompany and co-create with those who are on the edge of what we do not know. Those who are willing to lead, live into, and learn through, the deep changes that are being asked of us now.

Transitions, transformation, this is my work.

I do this locally, globally, and online. How? By co-creating collective practice and processes to navigate times and places of chaos, crisis and regeneration. Tending the inner and outer work of our leadership, and exploring how we are complicit in the systems we want to transform. This includes the rite of passage of hospicing what is dying whilst hosting the newness that is emerging. We will find the turning points, and become the turning point.

This is artful work. It’s the work of cultivating courage. This yields new harvests, new stories. We make poetry of public policy, find beauty in the broken and carve landscapes of belonging. We are the stories we tell.

You can follow these stories, along with the series and the book I am writing, The Wild Life of Dying. Click on the links below to dive in and find out more.

The website, much like my life, is a work in progress, but soon it will be ready to share with you. In the meantime, you can reach me at vanessa.reid@the-lwi.org
