Let's chat about

Let's chat about

  • Intentional & thoughtful gatherings, meetings, workshops (!!), salons

  • Research in, with, and for community

  • Brooklyn-based projects and events - it all starts with local

  • What you’ve been reading, baking, musing lately

  • Nerding out about social ecology, pluriversal design, co-ops, transformation design, foresight

  • Creating work that feels good and does good together - within (or outside of) capitalism

  • How to start running (the joy/agony of beginning)

  • Optimistic visions of the future (in spite of it all)

  • My favourite granola recipe

Better yet, let’s take a walk!
