I thrive at the convergence of innovation and mysticism, where activism and spirituality fuse with the magic of storytelling.

From the Apple Multimedia Lab to Wired Magazine and WiredTV, from Silicon Valley’s most celebrated futurist think-tanks to Hollywood, and from international work with Starhawk and the Reclaiming Collective to formal shamanic initiation, my pursuits have played out on the frontier of possibility.

With key collaborators, I'm driven to create what I call Shamanic Storytelling: compelling, art-as-action offerings that blend magic, activism, storytelling, and theatre into transformative immersive experiences.

Professionally, I'm a seasoned creative devoted to the greater good.

Artistically, I'm a catalyst devoted to manifesting the healed new world.

I believe story is First Food — a term I've coined to describe a substance more powerful than edible provisions; a sustenance so powerful it shapes both heart and mind.

What we imagine, what we speak — what we incant in the stories we tell ourselves and each other — we manifest, individually and collectively. In this way, I seek to forge a bold, collective vision of the world we wish to create. Words that awaken wonder. Stories that decolonize imagination. Narratives that invoke interdependence, deep awareness, collective care, and collaborative power.

I am here to make the consciously imagined real. To build a new map for a new world.

This is the work that sets my soul on fire.
