How we work
Relational, strengths-based and participatory practice is at the heart of Soulgen. We start with people, relationships and the strengths already present, and shape the process around your purpose.
Three connected movements
Build the fire
Discover what’s strong and what matters. Listen, build trust and uncover people’s gifts, local assets and lived experience. Develop a shared understanding of the opportunities and challenges.
Light the campfire
Bring people together to imagine and create. Connect ideas, explore possibilities and co-design practical responses through dialogue, storytelling, workshops and experimentation.
Keep the fire burning
Turn ideas into action. Support projects, strategies and new ways of working while strengthening the relationships, local leadership and capability that sustain them.
The approach follows the context
We draw on Asset-Based Community Development, place-based practice, appreciative inquiry, co-design, storytelling, creative facilitation and experiential learning.
A project may involve a single workshop, a resource, a strategy or a longer partnership. These movements overlap as we learn and respond together.
Let’s explore what’s possible together
Tell us about your people, place and purpose. We can shape a workshop, project or longer-term partnership around what matters to you.
