Who we are

Nick/Nicole T. Castro, MA (she/they) is a genderqueer, bisexual, biracial, polyam, neurodivergent trans queerling who brings a lens of embodiment and mindfulness to study violence-used-as-communication.

As a relational communication expert with @New.Worlds.Together, Nick helps individuals and groups align their intention & their impact in the world. They seek to make the revolution sustainable through co-created spaces that invite and teach people how to practice new, nonviolent forms of self-expression across their relationships and community organizing.

They delight in finding spirituality and magic in all things. In her sacred rest time, she reads sci-fi & fantasy, practices Tai Chi, and rides her motorcycle.

  • "Nick is at once highly honest, and highly empathetic,

    They have the incredible gift of communicating truths directly in a way that also communicates love, support, and understanding.”

    J. Sprout | Community Engagement Director at National Insurance Company

  • "When I think of Nicole the first word that comes to mind is ‘open.’

    Nicole is ‘open’ in the sense that she seems to be constantly reacting to, and interacting with, the world around her. Even in the most light-hearted conversation, Nicole not only makes one feel heard, she also makes herself heard. She has a knack for maintaining this particularly difficult type of conversational balance."

    Dr. David Boromisa-Habashi | University of Colorado - Boulder

  • "When it comes down it, that is perhaps the crux of Nicole’s approach to communication: healing.

    She communicates safety not to try to ignore or avoid the difficult parts of life, but to create a healthy space in which to confront and navigate them. Anyone in search of such a space would do well to meet her. "

    A. Lauver, MA | Author & Artist

  • "Nicole is an excellent listener and genuinely brings professional advice to the table.

    After talking with Nicole, I now have tools and actionable training that is specific to our team. I felt our team’s strengths, weaknesses, and needs were heard. As a result, our training methods are now customized to focus on what we need to do to improve. I am looking forward to our results! New Worlds Together is an exceptional resource who I would recommend to those looking to build or improve their program."
