About

Our Approach

People bring different experiences, assumptions, and hopes to the same work. Those differences influence how an organization understands its purpose and decides what comes next.

We create room to explore those perspectives through dialogue, reflection, and research. What emerges helps shape strategy and the plans, fundraising, and communications that put it into practice. AI supports this work where it adds value, with human judgment and responsibility guiding its use.

Our Team

Rev. Dr. Robert Levey, PhD, MBA

Robert brings more than 20 years of experience helping mission-driven organizations connect purpose with practice. His work spans fundraising strategy, grant writing, corporate sponsorship development, communications, strategic planning, and board leadership. In previous leadership roles, he helped drive a 300% increase in corporate sponsorships and a 50% increase in grant revenues.

With a PhD in Transformative Studies and an MBA, Robert combines philosophical inquiry with practical organizational experience. He helps people explore the assumptions and stories shaping their work, understand differing perspectives, and develop direction they can put into action.

An educator at UNH College of Professional Studies and White Mountains Community College, Robert teaches marketing, fundraising, management, and leadership. He also serves as Executive Director of UYM Charities and developed Spaciology, a framework exploring how the spaces we create shape understanding, relationships, and possibilities.

Rowan Wilson, Storyteller

Rowan is a writer living on the New Hampshire seacoast with her two dogs, Zombi and Jasper. She brings a storyteller’s curiosity and a reporter’s attention to the people, places, and details that give a story its character.

She recently completed her MFA in fiction at the University of New Hampshire, where she received the Young Dawkins III Prize in Creative Writing and the Thomas Williams Memorial Fund Award in 2026, along with the Dick Shea Memorial Award in 2025. She earned her BA in Creative Writing from Colorado College in 2018.

Previously, Rowan worked as a reporter for the Monadnock Ledger Transcript, covering local news across eight towns in southwestern New Hampshire. At RPL, she draws on her experience in journalism and fiction to help people tell stories that reflect their lives and connect with others.

Nicole Lopez, Strategist

Nicole is a multicultural educator, artist, and lifelong student of language, consciousness, and human transformation. Her work explores how language shapes identity, perception, and the ways people understand themselves and the world.

She holds a BA in International Relations, an MA in TESOL and Applied Linguistics, and an MA in Transformative Studies, and pursued doctoral work at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Her published scholarship on Language and Consciousness at CIIS provides a foundation for her continuing inquiry into the relationship between language and human experience.

With more than 15 years of experience in language education, Nicole has taught multilingual learners in community colleges, K–12 schools, universities, and private professional settings. At RPL, she brings this breadth of experience to helping people explore meaning, encounter different perspectives, and recognize possibilities beyond familiar ways of thinking.
