Observations on strategy, collaboration, and community impact.
Field Notes
At Freya + Co, much of our learning happens in the field, with communities, coalitions, and partners who are working to make systems fairer and more effective. Field Notes captures insights from that work: what’s emerging, what’s evolving, and what we’re discovering along the way. Here you’ll find reflections on facilitation, planning, and the practice of leading change together.
