About Me:




(I am.)

“…he had given love away
as if it were the cheapest and most abundant thing
on earth that it was like rain…”



I'm Director of Gaia Community; I have the honor of creating the space in which this vast experiment unfolds, and I'm so, so glad you're here.



A little more about me? Very well. I trust uncertainty, don't care for irony, and believe that truths are necessarily paradoxical.

I'm obsessed (hopelessly!) with systems thinking, the ongoing process of community, open space technology, and the startling beauty of each unique human being. I want to know what's alive in you, and I believe life is an infinite game.

My background has seen me dancing through communties of practice, capacity building, and facilitation of all sorts, but these days I tend to spend my free time writing, wandering, reading, and (best of all) wrapped in conversation with new friends and old strangers.

What else? I can't say much more without coming across as a paragon of contradiction: I'm a mystic who relishes the body, and an existentialist who lives and breathes God. I'm an intellectual allergic to systemization, and an earthy wilding who thrives online. I'm a hopeless academic who values compassion over intellect, and a critical thinker who suspects, frequently, that the mind is the most delightfully imbalanced instrument of all.

And I believe that all of this could very well be wrong. :)




Be joyful, though you have considered all the facts.

– Wendell Berry.
