Creating Space for Healing, Honest Conversations, and Safer Communities
Trauma-informed workshops and facilitated conversations for organizations and communities across the North.
This work supports people in understanding relationships, navigating emotions, and addressing the roots of gender-based, intimate partner, and family violence.
It is grounded in lived experience, shaped by community, and carried out with care.
Based in Yellowknife, we work across the Northwest Territories and travel throughout Northern Canada.
This Work Matters
These conversations are not always easy.
They involve:
Trauma
Disconnection
The lasting impacts of colonial history
Patterns that affect families, relationships, and communities over time
But they are necessary.
Our work creates space for people to reflect, learn, and engage in ways that support healing, strengthen relationships, and help prevent harm before it continues.
Because safer communities are built through how we relate to one another—every day.
Who We Work With
We partner with communities and organizations where trust, culture, and lived experience matter.
Indigenous band offices and communities
Non-profits and NGOs
Schools and youth programs
Community organizations
Government and social service agencies
Often, we are invited into spaces where:
Conversations are sensitive
Relationships are central
And there is a need to engage people—especially men—in meaningful, respectful ways
What We Offer
Workshops & Speaking Engagements
Our work is not about delivering information—it’s about creating the conditions where real conversations can happen.
We offer workshops and facilitated sessions on:
Emotional Regulation & Communication
Healthy Relationships & Consent
Men & Boys Emotional Education
Gender-Based Violence Awareness & Prevention
Community Healing, Connection & Reconciliation
Each session is adapted to the unique needs of the community or organization, recognizing that every space carries its own history, strengths, and realities.
Our Approach
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to this work.
We enter each space with the understanding that:
History matters
Culture matters
Relationships matter
Our approach is:
Trauma-informed
Culturally respectful
Relationship-centered
Grounded in lived experience
We listen before we lead.
We work alongside communities—not over them.
And we recognize that meaningful change takes time, trust, and honesty.
Dr. Lovingson Mtongwiza
Lovingson is a speaker, facilitator, and men’s health advocate whose work focuses on emotional awareness, healthy masculinity, and the prevention of gender-based violence.
He has spent nearly two decades living and working in Northern communities, supporting men and communities in understanding emotions, strengthening relationships, and moving away from harmful patterns.
His work is deeply personal.
After losing his elder sister to intimate partner violence, Lovingson brings a level of care, honesty, and presence that allows him to sit in difficult conversations without turning away from them.
He holds a Doctorate in Theology, with research focused on forgiveness, trauma, reconciliation, and restorative justice—bringing together both academic insight and Indigenous-informed perspectives on healing.
Saphire Mtongwiza
Saphire’s work focuses on supporting women in recognizing, avoiding, and healing from abusive relationships.
She brings a strong commitment to helping individuals break cycles of harm and build healthy, respectful connections rooted in self-awareness and dignity.
Working Together
As an interracial couple raising two daughters in the North, Lovingson and Saphire bring both lived experience and professional insight into the realities of relationships, culture, identity, and connection.
Their work reflects this balance—creating spaces where people can engage honestly, learn from one another, and begin to build healthier ways of relating.
Why This Work Is Different
This is not traditional consulting.
We do not come in with answers to deliver.
We come to:
Create space for honest dialogue
Support reflection and accountability
Engage people in ways that feel respectful and real
Help communities build their own pathways forward
Sometimes that means holding difficult truths.
Sometimes that means sitting in silence.
And sometimes, it means creating space for laughter, connection, and understanding in places where it’s needed most.
Speaking & Community Engagement
Lovingson is also available for:
Conferences and keynote presentations
Community gatherings and healing spaces
Men’s engagement initiatives
Organizational sessions and facilitated dialogue
His speaking combines storytelling, humor, and lived experience to create environments where people feel safe enough to engage—and supported enough to reflect.
