The Fire

Stop throwing events. Start engineering ritual. Gatherings built like systems and felt like magic: the arc, the threshold, the ask that costs something, and the thing they carry home in their hands.

The craft

Gatherings that rewire.

Workshops, retreats, ceremonies, immersive productions, all built on the Alchemy Arc™, my framework for experiences that land in the body, not the calendar. A two-hour offsite and a pilgrimage are the same problem at different scales: get people over a threshold, ask them for something real, then give them somewhere to put what happens. Most recently staged: A Midsummer Pilgrimage, an audience walked across open ground as pilgrims, waystations, guides, a story you moved through instead of watched. It became an animated short, cut from paper, shot by shot.

SeekHealing.

I am Events Director at SeekHealing, where the gatherings are designed so that connection itself is the medicine. Nobody there is performing wellness at anybody. It is the cleanest test of this craft I know: a room of strangers, some of them having a hard week, and the only measure that counts is whether they come back. If you want to feel this work before you hire it, come to one. The fire is lit regularly and strangers are the point.

Deeper in the woods

The temple, and the trial.

As Program Director of Teatro Korazon I write and direct for a member-built modern mystery temple: its liturgy, its books, the shape of its nights. The temple is private by design. Some doors exist so you know the room is there. Past the fire the path bends into the dark wood: two Keepers, two doors, a floor that is not entirely honest, something in a pit that argues back in your own voice. That trial is real. It can be failed. It teaches exactly what I teach.

Three places past the treeline where this work is already running. Not case studies. Real rooms, on real nights.

Teatro Korazon

Immersive productions and ceremony. The site is what it is; the work is the point.

Kedesha Temple

A temple. This is its public gate, and the gate is on this map now.

Gather with me

A retreat, a ceremony, an offsite, a production. Tell me who is gathering and what has to be different by the time they leave the room.

Some of this runs on patrons. The pilgrimages, the films, the temple arts. Wonder is cheap to feel and expensive to build. Underwrite the next one.
