Intentional Convening
Bringing people together on purpose.
Convening is a form of world-building. By slowing down and infusing intention into the planning process, we can tend to human connection, set conditions for emergence, and foster new ways of being together through event design.
Sustain Studio offers intentional convening consulting services and can be contracted to produce your next event.
“Working with Lillie is such a great opportunity to slow down, focus on purpose, and work toward our goals in an intentional way that is felt by both our team and our program participants.”
—Matt Scott, Director of Storytelling & Engagement at Project Drawdown





“We're so grateful to Lillie and Sustain Studio for the thoroughness, calm, and creativity they brought to our planning process and event execution. We hosted a complicated two-day convening with an evening reception that included many important movement stakeholders and speakers, and Sustain Studio helped ensure that all the details were thought through, that the vendors reflected our priorities and values, and that attendees' needs were met. Sustain was flexible, responsive, and incredibly patient and positive throughout. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”
—Katherine Eyster, Chief of Staff at the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center
“Everything was very thoughtful; the cozy space, the decoration, the people, and the food! The experience felt open and relaxed with a bit of a guide, which was helpful.”
—Bakar Elmi, past Tableside attendee and Minneapolis-based Director of Photography & Editor
