Radical care,
collective liberation

In a world calling for bold transformation, we help political leaders, movement builders and organizations navigate the cultural shift and materialize commitment into action to meet the times. Through our work in organizational development, political organizing, policy development, and educational workshops, we guide you in creating change grounded in collective care, justice, and shared purpose.

Together, we’ll forge pathways to a more sustainable and holistic future, where every being is valued and lasting impact is possible.

As consultants we ask ourselves and our clients striving to do equity work, what are we willing to risk for justice and change?

We believe in our decades and centuries of collective wisdom and consciousness streams and rivers connecting our lived experiences towards creative tangible solutions to any challenge set before us. We hold true that there is a role for everyone in our movement and our roles are ever shifting. We honor the organic harmony and synergies of people when everyone is seen holistically and valued for their offerings and strengths.

We partner with clients to realign your purpose, centering collective wisdom, justice, and equity as you work towards your mission and most importantly, how you can show up every day.

What We Do

We invoke the Chakana, an Andean cross, as our guiding compass.

In Kichwa/Quechua, the word chakay (root of the word Chakana) means “to cross” or “bridge.” We approach our partnerships and work with the commitment to crossing, bridging, and growing towards efforts, actions, and solutions that realign the world into right relations with our environment, our people, and our lands.

In the Chakana, there are three sacred animal spirits: the Cóndor, the Puma, and the Serpent. In our work at Nguyễn Esparza Community Impact Strategies, these are the ways in which the wisdom of the three sacred spirit animals show up: 

  • The Cóndor reminds us to communicate clearly, honestly, with intention, and deep radical care for all living beings and those who came before us.

  • The Puma guides us to address what scares us — to commit to the work of undoing, redoing, relearning and unlearning in order to resolve the root causes of what is harming ourselves and communities and what is getting in the way of our shared liberation.

  • The Serpent leads us to recognize the immense, innate and accumulated wisdom and deep knowledge that we have to heal ourselves and our communities and to be ever evolving as we dream up the medicine/salve that we need to lead our efforts.

We are the right fit for you and together we will create meaningful & transformative impact if you…

  • Align with our values, trust the wisdom that comes from lived experiences, and are ready to embody your values and visions in all aspect of your work

  • Have a vision but are struggling with implementing and/or creating cultural shift in your organization and would benefit from dynamic facilitation and strategic consulting

  • Want political change but need more resources, knowledge, assessment tools, and skills to materialize tangible outcomes for your community
