Our Strategy:

Workplace issues and mental health are often treated separately. Organizations may recommend counseling, EAPs, personal days and the like for mental health, and may address workplace issues through HR, team building, surveys, and other measures. 

The reality is that both workplace issues and mental health struggles are positively impacted by improvements in the other. Kaleid employs an integrative method; using mind-body programming to generate healthier workplaces that in turn bolster collective wellbeing. 

The Kaleid Method:

Our core offering is connecting, eye-opening, and hopeful from the initial retreat, throughout the course, and into the final strategic phase. It is built to empower participants to foster healthier work within healthier workplaces. With Kaleid’s careful guidance, organizations gain positive momentum towards  resilience, connection, and thriving.

1. Re(dis)cover Retreat

The Re(dis)cover Retreat involves remembering and re-understanding parts of our past in a safer environment. Programming introduces the concept of trauma and common ways its influences show up later in life.

2. Worlds Kaleid Course

The Worlds Kaleid Course is provided to all employees once select participants have completed the Retreat. This 6-month course is flexibly-paced to allow for content to be engaged with at varying speeds. Through readings, recordings, worksheets, and more, participants develop thorough understandings of trauma and reflect on its presence in their lives. They then apply this understanding to their working worlds.

3. Worlds Kaleid Consulting

Kaleid schedules two consulting sessions throughout the course’s 6-month period. These are held either virtually or in-person, and ad hoc consulting is available upon request. 

4. Healing Futures Retreat

We end the process with a final retreat for the original select attendees. Here, we apply all the wisdom we’ve gleaned into a strategic plan for healthier, more fruitful working futures.

The Kaleid Method Is The Foundation of Our Retreats. Kaleid Is Opening Summer 2025.

I had the opportunity to work with, and get to know Becca in BGC South Coast BC’s 3–4-year organizational journey towards becoming a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive employer.  Becca is a passionate leader with a vast combination of skills, experience, and knowledge in the world of diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and social change. What makes her high impact in her work is her unique ability to bring her passion, leadership, and skill set while holding a clear vision for what is possible in the world through targeted and strategic efforts toward social change. It’s important to note that Becca’s vision for a better world, and the change required to achieve it, is rooted in an appreciation for the complexities and realities of businesses/employers who are committed but challenged to find their way towards change. Becca helped BGC bring what was formerly elusive and/or unattainable practices of transparency, clarity, consistency, and accountability alongside our commitment to be a compassionate, equitable, inclusive, and diverse employer.  The result: BGC is better and more authentically aligned with our vision, mission, and values, through education, learning, and unlearning AND through tangible change in policy, practices, and a strengthened relationship with our employees, all so we can be better for those we are here to serve.  The proof:  a new employee recently commented that after graduating with a degree in gender studies, she was thrilled to find BGC not only committed to but also living the commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion through policy, practices, and approaches.

I've worked with Becca as a client and as a graduate from her Facilitation program. She is gifted in building and leading spaces for collective learning and emotional processing. Her relationship-centered approach to her work is complemented by her warmth, compassion, and uncompromising lens for justice. As someone who has learned immensely from Becca over the years, I feel both at ease and engaged in her spaces, trusting her keen awareness of multiple complex considerations such as power dynamics, different learning styles and needs, time constraints, and her expert content knowledge.

​​Becca brings an approach to facilitation that is warm, all the while not underpinning the magnitude and oftentimes heaviness of the material. She creates a space where everyone feels as though they have a voice and something important to add to the discussion, and her openness to integrating the perspectives of others makes her sessions truly collaborative. With Becca, you get out of the relationship what you put in, and she makes herself open to receiving all kinds of contributions. What sets Becca apart from other facilitators is her familiarity with her offerings. It is clear that she knows her material inside out, and the way she delves into topics and brings her own lived experiences to each session adds that much more depth to the learning. How folks can so naturally connect with her makes the material that much easier to also connect with and leaves folks feeling open and eager to share and go deeper with her and themselves.
