Where Collaboration Supports Meaningful Impact

Background

Prairie Space is an idea referenced in William Least Heat-Moon’s book PrairyErth. In his book, Heat-Moon documents the prairies from the perspective of history, cartography, story, metaphor, and nature. These strategies develop a story of what land is and how it informs those who live there. The name of this consultancy is a nod to Heat-Moon’s ideas about how we develop our understandings of the world around us. Heat-Moon reminds us of the complexity in understanding a place, or an idea, or an organization, and the importance of divergent, culturally centric, and innovative approaches and worldviews. Looking deeply supports good things.
