Hi, I'm Alice Leibowitz........
Â
I’ve spent the last four decades engaging in activist movements focused on peace-building, LGBTQ+ civil rights, alternative economics, and environmental justice.
Throughout that time I’ve worn many hats, from organizing hyper-local money-free economic exchange in a small low-income town outside of Pittsburgh, to leading bisexual support groups, to shutting down traffic for Black Trans Lives.
At the same time, I have nurtured a deep interest in human behavior and motivation. After getting my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and my Master’s in Public Policy, I worked for ten years running nonprofit programs in the human service and public health fields, followed by ten years of organizational consulting and facilitation with similar organizations.Â
Through the decades, my work has been influenced by disciplines including Nonviolent Communication, personal development, social justice, organizational development, and somatic methods. Together these approaches have taught me that being right about in issue is not enough. Meaningful results come from looking deeply at our experience in the company of others.

I found myself paralyzed by the thought that authoritarianism was rapidly approaching but unable to take meaningful action to stop it. I finally got unstuck when I realized I could start small, applying my knowledge of these disciplines to the places where I already had influence.
I began leading conversations with activists about the pending fascist crisis. These conversations were so impactful and compelling, I expanded the project into a business.

Today, my work lives at the intersection of personal growth and progressive social change. I help people confront and process their feelings about the toughest global crises – fascism, genocide, climate collapse – and come out the other side resolute, grounded, and inspired. I empower people to leverage their love and power to create a world where everyone is safe, valued, and free.
My work helps people make the difference they want to make...
On a global, national, or community level, without becoming paralyzed or burning out. Here are some of the causes and projects past clients have moved forward during our time together:
- On a global level, working to stave off climate collapse and to slow the spread of colonization and genocide.Â
- On a US-level, taking action to protect immigrants from deportation and trans people from persecution.
- On a community level, bringing an anti-racist lens to a personal growth community, gathering stakeholders to create new solutions for the local unhoused population, and building hyperlocal community ties around art and agriculture
My clients come to me when they want their work to be more effective, responsive to pressing needs, and when they want to avoid the burnout and paralysis that often comes with social change work.
I’d love to be that beacon for you. The best way to get started is to book a Discovery call:
