About

Who are we and what we can do for you?!

Perhaps You’ve Been…

Leading while emotionally exhausted
Fighting for social justice while neglecting your own healing-justice
Carrying racial, relational, developmental, workplace, or systemic trauma
Trying to create change inside harmful systems
Searching for language to explain what you’ve experienced
Longing for spaces where you do not have to perform survival
Wanting outcomes that honor culture, history, identity, and lived experience

You deserve spaces that do not reject you or retraumatize you. You deserve support that sees your full humanity.

"We show you how to pursue justice at your core without having you abandon what you desire for your life. You deserve spaces where healing- justice and liberation can coexist."

At Share the Flame LLC, we support individuals and organizations to interrupt harmful systems, dismantle oppression, and cultivate sustainable ways of living, leading, and caring for one another rooted in truth, equity, and collective healing.”

You Were Never Meant to Heal While Continuing to Be Harmed

To clarify, healing in this context is not: clinical therapy, clinical diagnosis such as the use of trauma specific treatment, clinical and or medical wellness

The healing spoken to in our work occupies a unique intersection of:

justice

leadership

education

equity

transformation

community care

liberatory practices

and a trauma-informed lens

Healing as Justice Cannot Be Separated from the work

At Share the Flame LLC, we believe:

How we experience injustice is not only personal, but historical, relational, cultural, and systemic.
Leadership is never neutral; it either reproduces harm or interrupts it
Sustainability is an ethical responsibility
Liberation requires truth-telling, radical care, and collective healing
Liberatory wellness without justice is incomplete
Justice without care leads to burnout and collapse

Our work with you is not performative.
It is embodied, relational, structural, and transformative.

The goal of our services on behalf of Share the Flame LLC is to create and hold space where individuals, groups, leaders, organizations, and communities can flourish through restoring dignity, increasing awareness, addressing systemic harm, building equitable relationships, reconnecting to humanity and purpose, and moving toward more just, compassionate, and transformative ways of living and leading.

Here, You Will Find Support To…

Apply healing- justice to your lived experience without shame
Understand how systems impact wellbeing
Develop sustainable leadership practices
Interrupt cycles of systemic harm and systemic re-traumatization
Build healthier relationships and communities
Lead with integrity, humanity, and accountability
Create justice-rooted™ personal and organizational change
Reconnect with your voice, wisdom, and capacity for what you are called to do in this life.

Through courses, coaching, consulting, speaking, workshops, and educational resources, this work helps individuals and organizations move from survival toward sustainable transformation.

You Do Not Have to Navigate This Alone

Whether you are seeking justice-rooted healing, leadership support, organizational transformation, or deeper understanding, there is space for you here.

Let’s build pathways toward healing in the context of sustainability, justice, and liberation together.

Born in Portland, OR and raised just 20 minutes across the Columbia River in Vancouver, WA, Christian continued north for college at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle. Although he had trekked his way through Pre-Med/Microbiology studies, his plan of pursuing medical school was short lived. After watching his first graduate acting performance his Senior year in college, he knew that's where he was meant to be. Eventually, Christian graduated from the UW MFA Acting program and currently resides in Los Angeles, California. While in Los Angeles, Christian earned his M.B.A. from Purdue University Global. Christian also has obtained a Qualified Administrator license to use the IDI® from IDI, LLC.

He is the creator of the Disparity Trap Board Game. "Disparity Trap" is the Socially Conscious Board Game (click on books and resources in the site menu bar to access) that provides an easy way to have the hard conversations around race & privilege in America, and how they impact society in Systemically Dominant (SD)™ and Systemically Non Dominant (SND)™ ways. The board game is like many of its kind, where your main goal is to live your life the way you choose; go to school, get a job, possibly build a family and a career. But in this game, you also step into someone else’s shoes to experience that life within an identity different from your own. Throughout the game, the dice rolls correlate your identity in the game to real life statistics. So like life, the dice are in your hands, but the odds are not.

He is excited to be fusing his many passions full-time - combining his love of the arts, business, and education together.
