Together, the Practice was formed in response to my own experience with collapse and isolation. As social beings, in order to survive (and, dear God, enjoy this life!), it is imperative we be regularly witnessed, known, and remembered. Without the touchstone of attuned relation, we are more susceptible to all forms of fray.

As we collectively move at breakneck speeds, maintaining access to secure spaces where we may slow down and consistently root into shared fields of pause, peace, and restoration is essential for our wellbeing and our future. Witnessing is a foundational art of resistance against oppressive forces.

My intention is for the island I live upon, tend to, and bear fruit from to be a place where you know you are welcome to dry off from the outside storm, lower your protections, shuck off accumulated weight, and build a stronger inner network of care that may plume outward, enabling you to embrace your life with more courage, strength, and lightness of heart.
