Center for Courage and Renewal

I (Nick) had been moved by the insights I gained from reading A Hidden Wholeness by the esteemed American author and activist Parker J. Palmer, back in 2014 or so. It greatly influenced my thinking in aligning Freerange’s work with my own values — and recognising my privileged position in being able to do that.

Imagine my shock (and validation) when in late 2021 I received an email from the Center for Courage & Renewal with the subject line “Interested in Working With You.” Yes, the very same Center for Courage & Renewal founded by Parker J. Palmer twenty-five years prior. CCR wanted a new website — but not just any website, hence them looking halfway around the world to find a like-minded, values-aligned agency.

We worked closely with the whole CCR team to create a site that embodies their approach to work and life. At its heart is a private social network for the worldwide community of Courage & Renewal facilitators and participants — thoughtfully crafted to avoid all those toxic elements typical of social networks.

We were honoured to work on this project and grateful to still be collaborating with CCR today.
