    Hi! My name is Belina.

    I am based in Berlin, Germany.

    Ich bin ein Belina.

    I am part US-American, part French, and I lived in England for 15 years. This makes me effectively Canadian.

    Giggling

    I giggle a lot. Mostly because I love my work.

    For 10 years, I have been teach a loving form of stand up comedy to people working on social or environmental issues. Participants include climate scientists, environmental Phds, humanitarian workers, mums with a great insight on parenting, and many others.

    I help them:

    • notice patterns which help us and hinder us from being more awesome/human/compassionate/effective with each other and with Earth
    • engage others in meaningful, memorable, and delightful ways
    • not burn out when we need them most

    with

    I help people working on meaningful, complex projects within or across organisations to collaborate and communicate more effectively, wisely, and delightfully.

    Earth

    I design and support unique sustainability projects which help us better engage in the complex nature of turning struggling lives and soil into thriving, life-supporting, delightful places with healthier, happier living conditions.

  • Partners in awesomeness

    Here are some of the awesome people & organisations I collaborate with...
