About me

I like to make contact with experience beyond the concepts.

I like spaces where something authentic can happen without needing to be named too quickly.

For instance: notice what it is like to be you right now. The thoughts floating by. The feelings moving through the body. The weather of being here.

When I listen this way, I notice the lower half of my heart with some weight. Then I become curious how that wants to move.

Movement matters to me because it shares a world before words are formed.

I am curious how movement, acupuncture, relating, and gathering combine into social ecosystems of wellbeing at any scale: a treatment room, a dance floor, a retreat, a conversation, a temporary village of people paying attention together.

Currently, I am hosting retreats and events that allow myself and others to contact experience intimately, and to live inside the mystery of experience itself.

Based in NYC; often in California, North Carolina, and Spain.
