We’re operationalizing post-capitalist values to conjure a more caring, collaborative, and creative future.
“Part of being a revolutionary is creating a vision that is more humane. That is more fun, too. That is more loving. It's really working to create something beautiful.”

I’M RENEE BARRETO
A few of the titles and identities that feel particularly life-giving to me include: Embodied Operations Strategist, generational pattern breaker, care conjurer, partner, friend, sister, titi/auntie, neighbor, deep feeler, thinker, and alchemist. I am a Black multi-racial woman with lineages from Puerto Rico, Guam, and Europe.
I am also the Founder of the Embodied Operations Framework and the Learn the Loving Way Initiative. I collaborate with the teachers, healers, and world-builders to operationalize post-capitalist values in business practices and creative projects.
“... we must also care promiscuously. In advocating for promiscuous care, we do not mean caring casually or indifferently. It is neoliberal capitalist care that remains detached, both casual and indifferent, with disastrous consequences. For us, promiscuous care is an ethic that proliferates outwards to redefine caring relations from the most intimate to the most distant. It means caring more and in ways that remain experimental and extensive by current standards. We have relied upon “the market” and “the family” to provide too many of our caring needs for too long. We need to create a more capacious notion of care.”
THE CARE MANIFESTO
THE WAYS WE CAN COLLABORATE
FOR THE FOUNDERS
I partner with established Founders as their Director of Embodied Operations. Due to the nature of the energy and time required to partner with folks in this capacity, I can only collaborate with a handful of Founders at a time. If you’re interested in partnering together, please first review my Embodied Operations Framework to get a better sense of who I am and how I work. I’m looking forward to connecting!
FOR THE LEARNERS
In an embodied effort to decolonize my relationship to knowledge, I created the Learn the Loving Way Initiative, a praxis development project. Truthfully, this is probably my greatest act of care towards myself.
The projects that I’m currently nurturing under this initiative: Conversations with My Inner Capitalist and The Place of Paradox: How to Be with Multiple Truths.
FOR THE CREATORS
Interested in launching a new program, practice, or course with a sensuous strategy? Interested in thought partnership? Interested in collaborating with me as a co-facilitator for your next project? I’m here for it! First, review my Embodied Operations Framework to get to know me and my work a little bit better and then let’s connect!
