Meet the Team

​​

Co Founder

Mirjam Heldmann

Mirjam is a high-energy facilitator, trail ultramarathon runner, and co-owner of Vox Agora, where she helps groups have the conversations that truly matter. She designs and leads powerful processes—rooted in Deep Democracy, DEI, and co-created trainings—that spark real connection and movement. 

With a deep belief in the potential of people, Mirjam inspires and enables others to be bold, courageous, and honest—even when it’s uncomfortable. Her mindset, shaped by running seemingly impossible ultramarathons, shows up in how she holds space: with clarity, strength, and care. Whether guiding a team through tension or helping a community find its voice, she creates the conditions for people to step up, speak out, and take action.
