regeneration begins within
The shift from extractive to regenerative ways of being and doing is underway. We are moving from a culture designed by, and for, the rugged individual toward a remembering of our place within a living, relational ecosystem.
What is regenerative? Great question.
According to biomimicry maven Janine Benyus, it is the way “life creates conditions conducive to life.”
What is your role?
It is to ask yourself, “what makes me come alive?”
Aliveness is the side hatch out of old ways of being and into new ways emerging. Less me, more we. Only together can we aim the infinite resources of our collective gifts and imagination in the direction of regeneration.
Shall we begin?

I help FACILITATE the shift
from an extractive mindset
to an ecological mindset
We know that systems level culture change often happens below the surface of our conscious awareness. Culture is revealed, reinforced, and made manifest in the stories we tell (and pass down), the worldview we inhabit.
Burnout, for many, was/is the necessary gateway toward a shift in worldview. On the other side is often a redefining of success, connection to self, others, and nature, and the co-creation of a new collective story emerging.

how you can explore the shift with me

I write about exploring the essential inner work required to shape a brighter future, envisioning more beautiful and speculative realms. From redefining success and leadership to navigating white supremacy rehab, we venture into the depths of over-responsibility and social impact savorism, embracing regeneration as a way of life.

Regeneration is a process, not a concept. Book me to do a performance lecture on the vulnerable, and often hilarious, experience of shifting from addiction to external validation and hustle culture into the adventure of regeneration and understand what it means for you.

I teach live workshops and online classes on regenerative principles for businesses, creativity as a spiritual practice, authentic leadership, storytelling for social impact, and the inner work of climate change for places like TED, Esalen, Regeneration for Marketers, Multiversity 1440, and Cinereach.

The pandemic was spent learning about regenerative agriculture and organic architecture on a ranch in rural Montana where Frank Lloyd Wright designed his first community. In October of 2022 my mother and I moved to Quinta Do Bom Despacho, a sustainable, intergenerational co-living community on the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores, Portugal.

Judge-A-Holic, written in my second year studying Spiritual Psychology, is the story of a soul hijacking from a life worshiping hard work to a life of vulnerability, connection, and play. From the film business to documenting fast Tibetan monks, psychedelics, and great grief, it is what happened when I stopped living the life I had planned and surrendered to the life that was waiting.

LOADED BEAUTY
A reflection on white supremacy, healing shame, and the non-linear journey of building a sanctuary where I can midwife creative expression for myself and others.
“As we cease to be paralyzed by the fear-driven cycle of separation, scarcity and the struggle, for control and power, we will begin to unfold the potential of a compassionate, empathic and collaborative culture of creativity and shared abundance, driven by biophilia - our innate love for all life.”
