About Us
We are a diverse team of entrepreneurs, lawyers, activists, artists, farmers, coaches, writers, and designers combining our collective talents, experience, and lived experience to address the world's most pressing social and environmental issues. We came together through the recognition of the crippling impediments we observed consistently in organizations, governments, and communities around the world.
We design, operate and resource organizations, networks, and communities using the With Life Approach, which takes a holistic, living systems-based approach to improving organizational outcomes while increasing the efficiency, effectiveness, and well-being of employees.
Our Equity Commitment
nRhythm is committed to creating and nurturing organizations, institutions and systems that regenerate people, communities, ecosystems and relationships of all kinds. For us, regeneration is not possible without equity, diversity, inclusion and justice. We strive to be an organization that is actively reversing historic societal injustices by creating an environment where all members are actively designing and evolving structures that fosters equity in decision-making, power, information, and resources.
nRhythm is committed to honestly and radically working to reverse all mindsets, behaviors, policies, and practices that have been intentionally designed and/or unintentionally adopted to give power, privilege, and advantage to one group of humans over others, one way of knowing and beliefs over others, and humans over other species. We are committed to disrupting the current dominant design of organizations, institutions, and systems in all sectors that we recognize to be based on a mechanistic, reductionist, and extractive model that primarily arose in Western Europe, has been imposed on the world through colonialism, slavery, white supremacy, patriarchy, and all other systems of oppression, and is advanced and reinforced by industrial economic models and markets.
nRhythm understands that these commitments will continue to evolve. We invest in continuing to learn, develop and evolve ourselves, our organization, and our approaches. In this context, we offer this statement as one expression of our continuing work for equity and justice and we embrace all questions, diverse perspectives and dialogue from our community.

We Are A Virtual Team
From the start, nRhythm has been a virtual team. We intentionally choose to live into the quality of life we value as a team:
"We desire a quality of life that is fun, adventurous, and alive. We thrive as individuals and as a team because of our freedom, flexibility, and shared life experiences. We actualize our full potential. We bring our whole selves and value the intimacy and support from trusted relationships."
Meet The Team
Our team's strengths lie in our diverse backgrounds and industries from regenerative
agriculture and conservation biology to sports marketing, entertainment, and consumer products
to tech start-ups and entrepreneurship to social justice activism and community organizing.
In addition to this, we are international explorers, enthusiastic cooks, outdoor adventurers,
animal lovers and globe trotters.
