The Gardener & the Garden

For over 10 years in Tamkeen Community Foundation for Human Development, as a facilitator and experience based researcher, I have had the privilege to witness how the trust in our human potential and unconditional love create the conditions for societal metamorphosis manifesting and manifested by the emergence of social ecosystems of a humanizing society. I cofounded Tamkeen Community Foundation for Human Development in 2009. However, my Tamkeen Process story started before that, with my lived experience research and that of my Tamkeen colleagues and friends'. We questioned our questions and co-explored the revealed "in-between". It entailed bringing together my personal growth process and my 25 years of working experience in the private sector as a big five management consultant, in the public sector as the advisor to the Minister of Employment, Vocational Training and Housing in the Moroccan Government and in various experiences in the social sector. The most defining experience of all; being the mother of two daughters, Sara and Maria.
