I am a community facilitator, theatre artist, life-long learner and creative soul. I have spent the last 15 years connecting and collaborating with diverse communities by co-creating learning environments that are founded upon shared values of diversity, love, respect and self-empowerment - embracing a vision of solidarity, social justice and change from the inside-out. I invite learning that engages the mind, body, heart and soul, drawing on our personal and collective experiences and inner wisdom for the purpose of community connection, clarity and capacity building. Through the blending of participatory, creative and embodied practices, I am able to support groups in creating space for each other - to reflect, share, learn and heal alongside one another for personal, collective and organizational change.

I support grassroots movements, social justice organizations and government sectors through processes of equity, inclusion & diversity; peacebuilding & conflict transformation; community healing and participatory leadership.

I am a freelance consultant as Weaving Connections (Toronto, Nova Scotia & Egypt) and currently collaborate with Bloom Consulting (Toronto), Branch Out Theatre (Toronto), Interplay (Oakland, CA).  I have a MEd in Adult Education and Community Development at OISE.  In my spare time I can be found in one of three homes - dancing ecstatically in Toronto, playing in the waters of rural Nova Scotia or connecting with my ancestral roots in Egypt.

NOTE from NADIA

Naty and I have not yet had a chance to facilitate together, but the very first time we met we started making plans! A kindred spirit, most certainly, and a powerful and potent presence in so many ways. This podcast episode follows the journey of a very seasoned facilitator, who is asking humble and subtle questions.
