Facilitator cultivating embodied leadership and belonging through contemplative practice.
I stand outside Christendom but inside the wisdom tradition of Christian mystics. My spirituality is wide and relational, shaped by friendships across traditions and the lived experience that community is not a problem to solve but a gift to co-create.
As founder and director of The Hive in Cincinnati for seven years, I helped build a school for transformation offering more than 10,000 hours a year of guided small-group learning. The Hive has become an experiment in civic spirituality—where contemplative practice, creative process, and honest conversation turn strangers into neighbors and neighbors into co-creators.
Now teaching and facilitating across the U.S. and abroad, I offer coaching, mediation, and group transformation rooted in trauma-informed practice, Internal Family Systems, and organizational development. I also co-founded The Common Good Collective, a network reimagining belonging through story and shared practice. A poet, songwriter, and author of "Drawn In," I explore creativity, design thinking, and spiritual activism as pathways to renewal.
My work begins with one ah-ha: healing happens when we stop outsourcing our belonging. Whether in a boardroom, a church basement, or an online circle, I help people remember their awakened hearts—and practice the courage it takes to connect.
