I sit with fellow creative misfits to explore how we can co-create belonging with our environments and grow in service of a collective liberation.

A tarot reading is a space of ceremony. Let us weave a beautiful spell together.

The Tarot and Us

I believe tarot is a powerful tool to explore our own subconscious and explore the unknown with others. When we read together, I will offer tools and guidance to both read the cards and to read your reaction to them. This is a gift of curiosity, presence, and deep resonance with the unknown.

What Deck Do I Dance With?

I still find so much richness in the imagery of the original Pamela Colman Smith art... but I'd love to find a deck that's not as euro-centric!

Dynamic Hierarchy

Leadership is a behavior, not a title or role. Each of us has the capacity to lead, and I believe our society needs to be led by those who are typically in the back — at least occasionally. I thrive in organizations where my leadership is earned not by clout or politick, but rather the merit of what I have to say as a leader. And I believe every leader (including myself) has the responsibility to step back and make space for someone else. When this works, it creates the most inclusive spaces I’ve ever seen.

Radical Transparency

Boundaries are important — I don’t share everything with everyone. But I do believe that being honest is a worthwhile practice. I strive to be clear about my intentions, explicit about both good and bad feelings I experience, and available to hold space for what is real in another person. This takes a lot of work, and can be really scary, but I have almost never regretted opening myself up to another person. Transparency breeds vulnerability and wholeness, which in turn breeds care. And nothing is more fulfilling to me than caring for and being cared for by others.

Meet People Where They Are

It’s not always obvious what someone has going on in the interior. We’re diverse in a multitude of ways, and some of us have a way harder time walking in our own skin than others. So — when I have the resources to do this — it’s important to me to understand what someone brings to an interaction or group dynamic. If I’m in a position to make a space more accessible for others, I try to do that. And this gives me permission to ask others to accommodate me when I need it. To me, mutually meeting one another paves the way for interdependence.

Make Mischief

I love to play, and I feel most tapped into this when I’m making mischief. I grew up with a few cultural examples of mischief-makers, and through their irreverence, they challenged implicit hierarchies and norms, brought important (and sometimes taboo) topics to the surface, and importantly, made people laugh! I’ve been finding it easy to forget that making mischief makes me feel alive, so it’s written out here as a reminder, an intention to celebrate this as essential. I am happiest when I can see the light in other people’s eyes.

Pursue Beauty

Aesthetics are important. Beauty isn’t just about what we find visually appealing — in fact I don’t think much of “what society considers beautiful” matters at all. But we all have been touched with moments where we feel in awe, frisson, moved, etc. Whatever word for it resonates, I find this experience of transcendence to be among the most fulfilling I’ve had as a human. I think our world is better when more of us aim our attention towards creating and appreciating beauty, even the latent beauty of what stands directly in front of us. Getting in touch with the beauty of the other helps me be present with the beauty that’s inherent in myself.

Love Is Universal, Love Is Work

We all have the capacity to experience and to give love. Not all love I experience is equal: I might love a partner differently from a parent, a friend, or someone I just met. But as a vessel for love and connection, I believe it’s both my responsibility and my right to act with love towards those around me. Love isn’t just something that happens to me; it’s something I create in the various relationships I live in my life. Sometimes this looks like quality time, shared laughter or creativity, or physical contact. Sometimes it looks like having a hard conversation, taking a break, or showing accountability and making amends. Love will always be the most important result of my labor and presence.
