Let's Talk.
Sometimes a website can only tell you so much.
Maybe something here has stirred something in you.
Maybe you're wondering whether The Remembering is the right place for you right now.
Maybe you want to talk about The Midnight Carnival, a Grief Relic, a workshop, a collaboration, a conversation, or something neither of us has named yet.
Or maybe you simply have a question.
You can reach me.
I'm a real human on the other side of this website. 😂
Want to talk face to face?
I keep a small number of short conversations available for people who feel genuinely drawn to the work and want to connect before stepping through a door.
This isn't a sales call.
You don't have to prepare anything. I'm not going to convince you to join something that isn't right for you.
We'll talk. We'll see what's alive. We'll go from there.
Want to connect?
Send me a note. Whether you have a question, want to talk about the work, or simply feel called to say hello — I'm here.
Questions about The Remembering, the book, Grief Relics, speaking, collaborations, press, or a conversation before stepping through a door — all welcome.
A few things you might be wondering.
Do I need to read The Midnight Carnival before joining The Remembering?
No. They are two doorways into the same world. You can enter through either one, in whichever order calls to you.
Is The Remembering a course?
No. There is a growing library of practices, workshops, recordings and curriculum inside — but The Remembering itself is a living community and an evolving body of work. There is no finish line.
Do I need experience with spirituality, art, meditation or any specific practice?
No. Curiosity is genuinely enough. You don't need to be an artist, know Human Design, have experience with the Akashic Records, or speak fluent spiritual-person language. 😂 If something here is speaking to you, that's the only qualification that matters.
Do I have to attend everything live?
No. Everything inside The Remembering is recorded and added to the library. Show up when you can. Return to what calls you. There is no right way to inhabit this world.
What if I'm moving through grief?
Grief is welcome here. Much of this work was born from it. That said, The Remembering is not grief therapy, psychotherapy, or crisis support — it's a creative and spiritual community. If you're in acute crisis, please also make sure you have support that's designed for that. Both things can be true at once.
Can I work with you privately?
Private work is not the center of my practice. If I make something available, it will be announced through The Remembering and here on the site.
What are the Grief Relics?
Original artworks made from five years of grief journals — pressed into canvas, cut into forty-nine fragments, and made available as one-of-a-kind pieces. Explore The Grief Relics
Can I invite you to speak, teach, perform or collaborate?
Absolutely. I'm open to conversations around speaking, performance, workshops, creative collaborations, podcasts and projects that intersect with the themes of my work. Send me a note and tell me what you're imagining. Write to Me
You don't have to know exactly why you're reaching out.
Sometimes you just know something here caught your attention.
That's enough to begin a conversation.
