Our workshops are educational, engaging, and designed to create an experience people want to be part of. We combine practical learning, meaningful conversation, and interactive facilitation to create sessions that connect with participants and leave them with knowledge they can put into action.

Workshop topics include:

• Building on Abundance

• Abundance-Based Community Development & Funding Capacity

• Consensus Building & Collaboration

• Community Building & Development Strategies

• Tribal Relations & Relationship Building

• And more

From one-time trainings to multi-session workshops, each experience is tailored to the audience, community, and goals of our partners.

We support communities, organizations, and entrepreneurs in turning opportunities into businesses and economic development initiatives that are built to last. Our abundance-based approach starts with what already exists: local knowledge, skills, relationships, resources, and opportunity, and builds from there.

Our services can include:

• Business Development — supporting ideas from early concept through business model development and implementation.

• Cooperative Development — helping groups explore, develop, and strengthen businesses built around shared ownership and shared benefit.

• Business Planning & Strategy — developing practical plans that define the business model, operations, priorities, and path forward.

• Organizational & Governance Development — helping establish structures, roles, decision-making processes, and systems that support long-term success.

• Economic Development Strategy — helping communities and organizations identify opportunities and develop strategies that strengthen local economies.

• Implementation & Technical Assistance — providing ongoing guidance as partners move from planning into action.

Our goal is not to prescribe a single model or solution. We help our partners determine what makes sense for their goals, resources, and community and build the structure needed to move it forward.

We bring stories, lived experience, and practical insight to the stage in a way that connects with audiences and creates meaningful conversation. Our speaking engagements are tailored to each audience and event, with topics that can include:

• Rural & Community Development — exploring the strengths, challenges, and opportunities shaping rural and Native communities.

• Agriculture & Food Systems — sharing lessons from working alongside producers and communities to strengthen local food systems and economies.

• Cooperative Development & Education — bringing cooperative principles, shared ownership, and community-driven development to life through stories and real-world experience.

• Women’s Leadership & Storytelling — sharing perspectives on leadership, entrepreneurship, perseverance, balance, and building relationships across communities.

• And more.

Emcee Services

Cheyenne Robinson brings warmth, energy, and skilled facilitation to the role of emcee, helping events feel connected from beginning to end. More than introducing speakers and keeping an agenda moving, she creates continuity between sessions, engages the audience, navigates transitions, and helps shape an atmosphere where people feel welcomed and part of the experience.

From conferences and summits to community gatherings and special events, emcee services can be tailored to the tone, audience, and purpose of the event.

Good decisions start with good information. Our Feasibility & Market Assessments help communities, organizations, and businesses understand opportunities, evaluate viability, and make informed decisions about what comes next.

Our services can include:

• Feasibility Assessments — evaluating the viability of a proposed business, project, program, or development opportunity.

• Market Research & Analysis — gathering and analyzing information about markets, customers, producers, competitors, demand, and emerging opportunities.

• Community & Stakeholder Research — incorporating local knowledge and lived experience through surveys, interviews, listening sessions, and other engagement methods.

• Needs & Opportunity Assessments — identifying gaps while also recognizing the existing assets, resources, and opportunities that can support development.

• Data Collection & Analysis — designing research tools, gathering quantitative and qualitative data, and translating findings into useful insights.

• Findings & Recommendations — turning research into clear, actionable recommendations that support planning, investment, and decision-making.

We approach assessment as more than identifying what is missing. By combining research and data with community knowledge and an abundance-based lens, we help our partners understand what already exists, where opportunities are emerging, and what is realistically possible.

Funding should support your vision, not define it. We help communities and organizations identify and pursue funding opportunities that align with their goals, priorities, and existing work.

Our services can include:

• Funding Research & Strategy — identifying grant and funding opportunities that align with your goals and priorities.

• Grant Writing & Proposal Development — developing clear, compelling proposals that communicate your vision, impact, and community value.

• Budget & Application Development — supporting budgets, work plans, outcomes, and other materials required for a strong application.

• Proposal Review & Editing — strengthening existing applications for clarity, alignment, and completeness.

• Funding Capacity Building — helping organizations develop the knowledge, systems, and strategies to pursue funding more effectively over time.

• Submission Support — helping navigate application requirements and ensuring proposals are complete and ready for submission.

Whether you need support with a single proposal or want to strengthen your organization's overall funding strategy, we meet you where you are and build from there. Our goal is not simply to secure the next grant, but to help organizations develop the capacity and resources to sustain their work long term.

Meaningful engagement is about more than bringing people into a room; it’s about creating the conditions for people to participate, be heard, and shape what comes next. We design and facilitate engagement processes that build trust, encourage meaningful dialogue, and help communities and organizations move ideas forward together.

Our services can include:

• Meeting & Gathering Facilitation — creating structured, engaging spaces for productive conversation, shared learning, and decision-making.

• Listening Sessions — designing and facilitating conversations that center community voices, experiences, priorities, and ideas.

• Community Engagement — developing engagement strategies that reach the people most connected to and impacted by the work.

• Stakeholder Engagement — bringing together organizations, leaders, businesses, community members, and other partners around shared opportunities and challenges.

• Strategic Conversations — guiding groups through complex conversations, competing priorities, and important decisions.

• Engagement Design — creating culturally responsive and accessible approaches tailored to the community, audience, and purpose.

We believe the people closest to the work hold knowledge that should shape the work. Our role is to create the space, structure, and process for that knowledge to be shared, relationships to be strengthened, and meaningful direction to emerge.
