Our team

The people holding the circle

Sage Collective was born from our own healing journeys. We built the place we wished had existed for us: where people come first, stories are sacred, and no one heals alone.

Portrait of Carol Ann

Carol Ann

Co-Founder & CEO

Carol Ann is a space-holder, truth-teller and guide for people on the path of healing. She brings more than two decades of Human Resources leadership, and a personal journey through childhood trauma and PTSD, to everything she builds. Her work rests on one belief: healing happens in community, and everyone deserves a place where their pain is met with compassion, not judgment.

Portrait of Jason

Jason

Co-Founder & CVO

Jason is a writer, photographer and artist living with complex PTSD. Group circles changed the course of his own healing, and Sage grew from wanting others to have that same experience. Through storytelling and art he explores the work of remembering who we are beneath the wounds. Many of the aspen photos on this site are his.

Facilitate with us

Are you a grounded, heart-led space-holder?

We're building a small network of facilitators who know how to hold space with integrity, safety and care.

This isn't traditional employment. It's a partnership. You lead Groves, set your availability and help shape the experience. Facilitators are paid monthly, per attendee, per Grove, by direct deposit (as 1099 contractors).
