What may seem a failure at the time, might be an opening. Join me for the next virtual futuring sprint. DM for details.

Most people who feel stuck aren’t broken. They’re living inside a story that has no future in it.

That’s the diagnosis. The Virtual Futuring Sprint is the response.

Four Sundays. A small group. A structured process for moving from defuturing analysis, naming what’s closing your possibilities down, to futures composition, to real experiments in the worlds you’re trying to build.

It’s for therapists and coaches who want to bring futures thinking into their practice. For people standing at the edge of a new business, a new identity, a new chapter. For anyone at a threshold who’s done waiting for a map that never arrives. Reach out for how to participate.

The Five Remembrances and Impermanence. I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.
I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape having ill health.
I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.
All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them.
My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

Join us for Resistance School. In-person Starting Sunday Feb. 22nd. DM me for details.

Resistance School is Back!

For 10 weeks starting February 22nd, we’re gathering every other Sunday to study movements, practice strategy, and explore what collective resistance actually looks like in a fractured world.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not a book club. It’s a design lab for people who are done just being angry and ready to learn how change actually happens.

What we’ll cover: → The moral urgency of resistance
→ Strategy as a practice (not a plan)
→ What roles we can play in social transformation
→ How to build solidarity across friction
→ Collective action design

The details: 📅 Every other Sunday for 10 weeks
🕙 10am-12pm
📍 In person (Irvine)
💰 No cost
📚 Readings provided

This is for anyone tired of scrolling through the crisis. For people who want to understand how movements work—and don’t work. For those ready to practice resistance, not just perform it.

To join: Email me. DM me.

Space is limited. First session is February 22nd.

See you there.

I’d rather be known for how I think, how I listen, and how I work relationally, than for a niche.

We’re taught to wait for clarity. But most lives don’t change that way. They change through orientation, experimentation, and story.

Before you set New Year’s resolutions, pause.
Try this exercise first.
It takes courage. And it changes everything.
