Annick Davignon, MA

I am a professional facilitator and learning experience designer from the North Shore region of Quebec, known in French as Côte-Nord. I grew up alongside the St. Lawrence River, an area renowned for its annual whale migrations.

In 2011, I completed my undergraduate studies in International Studies and Modern Languages at Université Laval in Quebec City. I spent five years working in international development as a project and program leader before relocating to Montreal. There, I sought new opportunities and reconnected with family members.

In 2017, I began the Master’s program in Human Systems Intervention (HSI) at Concordia University, graduating in 2020.

Over the past four years, I have been with Dynamo, where I served as a consultant, facilitator, and trainer for community groups and organizations.

Recently, I graduated from the School Ho Rites de Passage, where I studied the art and science of creating rituals for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities. This training highlighted the importance of meaningful rituals for various transitions in organisations, including departures, new arrivals, losses, celebrations, and more.

The experience of that training also deepened my appreciation for the natural world, including all non-human living elements. For the past four years, I committed to learning how to coexist better with the environment and embrace more regenerative ways of living.
