About WE'RE DIVINE
At WE'RE DIVINE, we are committed to fostering transformative spaces that empower individuals and organizations to navigate complex conversations, embrace diverse perspectives, and drive meaningful change.
Our Vision
We believe in creating supportive environments that equip individuals with the tools to "hold space" for difficult conversations while deepening their understanding of diverse experiences and practices. These spaces cultivate mutual respect, self-accountability, and shared meaning, encouraging growth, development, and collective empowerment.
Our Philosophy
We embrace the concept of "Dis-un-empowerment," developed by Dr. Scott Simmerman, as a guiding principle for removing perceived and actual barriers that hinder individuals from realizing their full potential. Through equity-driven practices, we help dismantle obstacles, foster inclusive leadership, and create opportunities for sustainable progress.
Core Beliefs
- Commitment: Growth is a continuous journey, and we support individuals and organizations in their evolution.
- Authenticity: We foster genuine leadership and personal development, encouraging individuals to embrace their true selves.
- Shared Meaning & Understanding: We cultivate spaces where mutual respect and collective learning thrive, promoting inclusive engagement.
- Courage: We empower individuals to confront challenges, lean into discomfort, and drive transformational change.
- Unity Over Division: We challenge polarizing behaviors, dismantle biases, and promote collaboration, equity, and connection.
