“It's people like you who can give this Titanic of a culture that 1/8 of one degree shift, miles before the future could be known or imagined, that just might mean we don't hit ice. Or, if we do, that there will be enough lifeboats.”

Experience Containers

Creative, experimental, & experiential spaces that show how to be who we need

I believe in the power of meaningful connections and authentic relationships as channels for how we learn together. When we have those in our lives and communities, so much can change.

But we often lack spaces for practicing the skills and developing the connections we need.

So I create them.

  • “SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.”

    I design and facilitate uniquely experiential spaces that elevate how we connect and learn through our relationships.

    As playfully experiment more publicly with diverse groups and communities, I ground myself with two pieces of wisdom:

    1. Create what you know we need.

    2. Do it in the energy you wish to create.

    My projects weave threads of embodied experience, authenticity, intimacy, healing, learning, community, love, liberation, and how to get more free.

    If you crave something heartfelt, fun, thoughtful, and philosophically rich, I hope you’ll join one of my containers.

  • I’m frequently experimenting by creating new in-person and virtual spaces for connecting and learning with others.

    I’ve done teach-ins, experimental gatherings, philosophical support pop-ups, table reads, dance parties, and stunningly customized birthday celebrations!

    Check my calendar for upcoming events, subscribe to my newsletter, and follow me on Instagram to keep up with the latest!

  • Host an event that is meaningful and different, in a really good way.

    Reach out if you’re interested in an experience container for your community, organization, or special occasion.

    Let’s collaborate on a new idea. I’d love to hear from you!

  • Email Excerpts - “For the Love of Strangers” (1/5)

    "Mind blown! You certainly bring something exhilaratingly fresh to human interaction, and I strongly believe this is what needs to happen in our age – how we can create spaces (literally, or in the moment right where we stand) where more nourishing interactions will reliably feel and be safe. Wow! You're grabbing this one by the horns!"

  • Email Excerpts - “For the Love of Strangers” (2/5)

    "What most resonates is how innovative you are! (I still don't know what categories to use to describe this event!) Your openness made the four people at my table all feel like we already knew and trusted each other, and we were eager to share our impressions. It was like we had planned to be there together. Everyone was so likable and interesting and candid and authentic."

  • Email Excerpts - “For the Love of Strangers” (3/5)

    "This experience is so unlike standard interactions and so nourishing. I could have spent another 2 hours there, but at the same time, I was saturated with the novelty and depth of it all."

  • Email Excerpts - “For the Love of Strangers” (4/5)

    "I never imagined something like what you've created could even exist. I never knew I would be so enthralled by such a [what to call it?]. It's not an event and it's not a gathering or a party or a speech or a presentation or a production. Therefore, I didn't know to even wish for such a thing to exist. And “ta-da!” it just showed up. Where did you materialize from?"

  • Email Excerpts - “For the Love of Strangers” (5/5)

    "Thank you so much for all the time you've put into crafting this experience/phenomenon, how much of yourself you pour into it, and your generosity in offering it without any way to know the response or outcome, and doing this month after month."

ROMANCING THE REVOLUTION

Romancing the Revolution is a weekly virtual space centered on queerly intimate practices for liberation. It is a transformative container for committing to the revolution by doing what only you can do.

This is the natural next step toward doing my work as a meta philosophical performance artist in a way others can use. Download Volumes I-III (150 pages)!

It's one thing to consume someone's work. It's another thing to progress and evolve by participating in a process as it develops. I am fully in it with you while articulating my own learning edges. By thinking, reflecting, and sharing together, this experience will inevitably shape your process and meaning-making, too.

This space is unique and every week is different. To keep us anchored in a collective process, our time will be facilitated around themes presented in my pages, which are shared with everyone who registers for the current month.

Ready to join
Romancing the Revolution?

Due to the nature of this experience container, it is crucial that all participants come with a strong foundation of self-awareness, emotional capacity, intellectual humility, and skillfulness around group dynamics while sharing space across difference.

This is not an open forum for casual discussion about personal ideas or political opinions. It is an intentionally designed and facilitated space grounded in values of community, liberation, and praxis. If this resonates with your commitments and capacities, you are invited to join this uniquely powerful process.

We gather on Zoom every Sunday at 10:30am (MST) for an hour.

There is a built in sliding scale starting at $10 per month for my Buy Me a Coffee members.

Visit my shop to register. You can also download pages from previous months!

Love, An Artist

“Why am I compelled to write? Because the writing saves me from this complacency I fear. Because I have no choice. Because I must keep the spirit of my revolt and myself alive. Because the world I create in writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing, I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and hunger. I write to record what others erase when I speak, to rewrite the stories others have written about me, about you. To become more intimate with myself and you.” 

– Gloria Anzaldúa
