Organization Unbound

In January 2018, we started writing a book, bringing together the threads of insight gleaned over the past 15 plus years. We reckon it’s going to be several months before the body starts to emerge, but we are excited to share the first 3 pages with you! tinyurl.com/y2bjv5a3

Our book is seeking patrons! For as little as $1/month you can read our book chapters as we write them and receive behind-the-scenes glimpses into our writing process. In this post, we highlight an extraordinary book that has inspired us along the way: tinyurl.com/utw5uwg

Our short film just tipped over the 10,000 views mark! 👏 Thank you again to all the wonderful people and organisations (81 in total) who contributed interviews. youtube.com/watch?v=wOSSb5…

We really enjoyed interviewing Ncedisa Nkonyeni, one of our South African Book Doulas, about her experience reading the first chapter of our book. If you are a Patron of Organization Unbound, you can sign in and watch it here: tinyurl.com/y2r8nh66
