Ello! My name is Lisa Sargent. I am a transdisciplinary strategist, dream doula, systems disruptor, performance artist, and founder of Liminal Spaces Lab. 

I have over 15 years of experience in narrative development and creative writing, and 8 years practicing participatory research and evaluation. 

As a former community organizer, multi-issue advocate and trained sociologist who has been deeply embedded within civic and political spaces, I am a lifelong activist who works and plays to shift power back into the hands of communities. My experiences in these spaces - and the stories of those I have labored with along the way - continue to orient how I approach cultural work. Grounded in liberatory frameworks, organizing principles and tenderness, I strive to co-create systems and practices rooted in long-term collective care.  

More recently, I have worked with community members, grassroots organizations, nonprofits, government officials, and philanthropy to dream, (re)create, strategize, and evaluate initiatives seeking to become more responsive to the changing needs of those directly affected by our current systems. 

In addition to my unwavering commitment to lifting the veil and dismantling systems of domination, I channel my heart work into designing life-affirming Dreamspaces, building bridges across issue areas, and weaving relationships across cultures. 

As a future ancestor, I envision a world where each of us has the courage and communal support we need to live bold, soul-aligned lives. In my personal time, you can usually find me at comedy shows, dancing with reckless abandon, camping, searching for fresh guayaba jam, and traveling to new places (both literally and metaphorically).
