keynotes & workshops
For those ready to see differently. And then become it.
You want your people to leave changed — not just informed. You're looking for something that meets them where they actually are, not where they're supposed to be. And you want someone who can read a room and shape the experience in real time.
These aren't presentations. They're experiences — designed to move people from their heads into their bodies, from performance into presence, from the familiar numbness of over-functioning into contact with what's actually alive in them.
The right keynote or workshop doesn't just give people something to think about. It changes what they're able to feel — and therefore what they're able to do.
Every engagement draws from the same territory as all of The Sequoia Circle's work: the body as intelligence, the land as teacher, the cost of chronic disconnection, and what becomes possible when people stop being organized by systems not built for their humanity. Whether you need a single keynote or a multi-session workshop experience, every engagement is shaped to the room.
Available for conferences, leadership retreats, educator gatherings, and organizational offsites.

“[NAOMI] HAD US IN TEARS. [HER] MESSAGE WAS ENGAGING, POWERFUL, AND NEEDED. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL REMINDER OF HOW TO SHIFT THE PATH OF YOUR OWN NARRATIVE. I PLAN TO USE THIS WITH STUDENTS, BUT I THINK I NEEDED TO HEAR IT MYSELF. AND IN TALKING WITH MY CO-WORKERS, THEY DID TOO.”
— Katie, 9th Grade ELA Educator
“Naomi's instruction put me at ease right away. It was a welcoming group and the energy was positive and focused.”
— Liz, Workshop Attendee
