Tim Harlan-Marks (they/them) is a mediator, facilitator, trainer and transformative justice practitioner with over 15 years’ experience cultivating resilient cultures of belonging within organizations, families and communities. Tim says of their work, "There's something in me that can't give up on ‘us.’ The big ‘us’, which includes all of us. I believe in our capacity to rise above patterns of othering, separation and domination. And we must if we're going to make it through this era of so many overlapping crises. This is what my work is about. Facilitating the conditions to say what needs to be said, listen to what needs to be heard, find one another across our differences and chart a new course together."
