About Me

Are you struggling with burnout, limited resources, and systemic challenges within your organization? I offers a transformative approach to help you overcome these obstacles and unlock your organization's full potential.

I'm Shekinah Alegra, a Portland-based consultant dedicated to nurturing thriving community leaders and organizations in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. I employ innovative methodologies to foster regenerative organizational cultures rooted in creativity, inclusivity, and shared growth. 
By integrating insights from various disciplines such as applied theater, somatic work, and group-centered approaches, I aim to disrupt maladaptive behaviors and nurture regenerative practices.

Testimonials

"Shekinah has seriously elevated my skillsets as a grant writer and organizer for HONK! PDX. She helped us develop an amazing sponsorship packet so we could approach local businesses and organizations for support confidently and professionally. We were able to secure several sponsorships because of her knowledge and expertise. I also attended Shekinah's grant workshop recently, where she highlighted ways we could make our grant writing stronger. She provided constructive feedback and taught me skills I can carry with me into the future like using ChatGPT to compare our grants to the organization's goals. I highly recommend Shekinah for any of your nonprofit needs. She is professional, attentive, incredibly talented in her craft, patient, kind, and a great communicator. She can bring people together and inspire them to work towards a common goal. As a queer person, she made me feel safe, heard and respected. I came away from each interaction with her armed with the knowledge and motivation to take my nonprofit to the next level."
