Vision

Madre Tierra Consultancy believes that dedicating your life to making a positive impact on this planet happens best organically from a place of internal abundance; when you feel nourished and alive and have the mental and bodily capacity that allows you to give from a place of competence, creativity, and flow.

This place of internal abundance is deeply needed, because, regenerating ecosystems and protecting human and environmental rights - while science reports that time is ticking - is not a small feat. For most of us, the drive to give ourselves to a bigger cause comes from somewhere deep down, yet, it does not necessarily come easy.

On a personal level, it asks for courage and trust, a lot of heart, and most of all the internal capacity to keep on giving yourself day after day. On a professional level, it asks for cognitive and social skills to translate ambitions into collaborative action. On top of that, the complexity of the challenges of this day and age require a holistic and non-dualistic approach that integrates all aspects of existence.

Approach

Everything in life is intrinsically interlinked and is in a unique way influencing one another, positively and negatively. This is no different when it comes to the development and implementation of sustainability strategies and projects.

Therefore, Madre Tierra Consultancy looks at the system as a whole through the lens of the following three pillars:

Strategy & alignment

A holistic strategy aspires to take responsibility for taking care of the earth and its people by creating long-term positive impact while bearing in mind the practical and operational day-to-day complexity of implementing that strategy. The strategy should be aligned with the greater vision of the organization and include efficient and effective workflows that delegate responsibilities and tasks across project plans for the year(s) ahead. One of the key focus points in the strategy development process is that the people who will implement the strategy are aligned with its greater vision and experience aliveness and nourishment in taking up their role in the collective strategy.

Group synergy & well-being

The people we interact with on a daily basis give us an energetic, emotional, and intellectual imprint that can function as nourishment and inspiration. At the same time, we all bring our family systems and accompanying patterns to the workplace that easily block the natural flow of energy and therewith meaningful collaboration. Teams that cultivate psychological safety and apply collaborative tools and processes are able to transform blockages into opportunities for growth. This is about creating the sweet spot between personal and professional development, so teams can thrive at many more levels. Supporting one another to grow, personally and professionally, contributes to creating a group synergy that uplifts the energy while improving results.

Individual alignment & well-being

People are the motor for change, and when they are functioning from a place of exhaustion or overwhelm, or when their hearts are not fully onboard, they are not able to truly give themselves in the way the earth needs them. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that each individual in the collective plays an important part in creating and implementing the strategy. People who feel nourished and are in alignment with the strategy and its goals contribute much better to the bigger vision and gain energy from bringing it to fruition, today and the year(s) ahead. Relationship to self and feeling in integrity with one’s values and purpose are important factors to consider, as are simple habits that keep the body alive and relaxed.

My thematic expertise in sustainability and international development, combined with my experience in research in Vietnam, Peru, and the Netherlands, allows me to see the bigger picture while understanding the complexity of implementing sustainability projects in diverse cultural and environmental contexts.

At the same time, I have been developing skills in strategy development, instructional design, facilitation, training, personal development, and embodiment coaching.

With my versatile blueprint, I bring a holistic and creative perspective to every endeavour, considering the well-being of individuals and the team, the success of the project, and the conservation of our planet.
