At Blue Borage, the work is held as a shared practice.

We create spaces where people can pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Change is not rushed or imposed. It is practised, gently and consistently, through healthy communication, conscious choice, and care for self and others.

Our approach honours human complexity, readiness, and dignity. We focus on creating the conditions where clarity, responsibility, and values-aligned action can emerge over time.

All Blue Borage offerings are guided by a simple, living practice inspired by the Blue Borage flower.

Ways to work with us

Conversation Cafés

Facilitated conversations that bring people together for thoughtful dialogue, shared learning, and cultural change.

Some gatherings centre lived experience themes. Others focus on leadership, communication, and the human side of systems. All are held with care, dignity, and respect for different perspectives.

Coaching and Mentoring

One-to-one and small group spaces where individuals and leaders can pause, reflect, and strengthen how they respond to the demands of their roles.

This work supports clarity, self-trust, boundaries, and steady follow-through. It is paced, practical, and grounded in real-life contexts.

Leadership Learning and Professional Development

Workshops, facilitated sessions, and learning circles that support teams and organisations to move beyond reactive cycles into clearer, more values-aligned ways of working together.

These offerings are suitable for professional development contexts and are designed with care for psychological safety, readiness, and shared responsibility.

Boundaries and the Power of No

A gentle life-skills offering for people who want to practise healthier boundaries, say no without guilt, and build patterns of self-respect.

Available one-to-one, in small groups, or in community and youth settings.

Immersive Learning

Occasional deeper experiences that allow time and space for reflection, integration, and practice beyond everyday pace.

These experiences are co-created in partnership with organisations, communities, or collaborators to suit the purpose and people involved.
