About me
I believe work can and should work for us, our planet, and our communities.
As a facilitator and consultant I help communities and organizations stay alive to their own capacities—even under pressure.
I use my training and gifts to support lives of duty and service toward creating a more beautiful world.
You can access my work through public events, coaching, and consulting.
You can support me by buying me a coffee.
I live in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, on the unceded ancestral territory of the Pentlatch, E'iksan, Sathloot, Sasistla, Weiwekai, and K'omoks first people.
About this website
Craftspeople of old—the carvers, weavers, blacksmiths, and coopers—would have workshops. You'd visit them and you'd see their craft laid bare: finished products, failed projects, new samples, works in progress.
This site is my "workshop."
Welcome!In my real workshop, I'd offer you a cuppa (tea or coffee or water). Here's a poem instead.
A bit of orientation
If you’d like to orient yourself, these pages offer good entry points:
- My training and teachers – The traditions, mentors, and lineages that shaped my work
- Working with organizations – My approach to culture, leadership, and collective change
- Grief Work – Community grief tending, ritual, and emotional ecology
- Coaching – 1:1 accompaniment for leaders, creatives, and people in transition
How to Use This Site
You don’t need to read this in order.
Think of it like wandering through a library, a notebook, and a long kitchen-table conversation at once. Some pieces are polished essays. Others are working notes. Some are meant to be lived with slowly.
