About Field + Form
Field + Form is a consulting collective that builds relational, systems-aware pathways to resilient communities. We specialize in civic facilitation, sustainable systems design and creative strategy, working at the intersections of key sectors that shape community resilience. We work closely with leaders, institutions and communities navigating complexity and change, recognizing that lasting transformation requires both inner resilience and outer action - and that the challenges we face are not just political or technical, but relational and somatic.
Our Mission
Empower communities and civic leaders to co-create equitable, adaptive environments where social resilience thrives through integrated somatic awareness, creative practice and systems thinking.
What We Do
Civic Facilitation & Systems Design
We work alongside communities, organizations and local government to:
• Co-design civic processes that center people, values and place
• Develop sustainable and regenerative systems rooted in local agency
• Host facilitated dialogues and creative problem-solving sessions
• Bridge emotional intelligence and strategic decision-making
• Build durable impact through reflection, synthesis and iteration
Creative Practice for Civic Capacity
Recognizing that communities are living ecologies of interdependence, we offer workshops that build both personal resilience and capacity for civic participation:
Embodied Leadership Series
Civic engagement through regulated presence and creative visioning
Seasonal Practice Series
Creative practices for nervous system regulation and seasonal attunement
Community Impact Workshops
Art-making in service of collective healing and social justice
Our Approach
Our approach is deeply relational, values-driven and grounded in systems thinking. We recognize that leadership is as much physiological as it is political.
We bring:
• Somatic and emotional awareness into civic work - treating the body as an active site of perception and wisdom
• Collaborative, multi-sector frameworks that honor complexity and interdependence
• Creative and embodied facilitation methods that create space for presence and attunement
• Long-term orientation from trust-building to sustained adaptability
• Integration across sectors: agriculture, Indigenous knowledge, mutual aid, mental health, arts, environmental sustainability, and governance
