If there’s not a dinner party/ retreat/ club for that, I’ll make one.

Uniting my endeavours is a desire to build greater connection to nature and each other; to live more deeply, and discover the boundaries of our comfort zones.

Notable productions:

Creative Monastery

A Paris-based culture studio that fuses mindfulness, community and creativity for a fresh take on purposeful living. We assemble interesting people and help them deeply connect: Conscious Consumption soirées, conversation series, deep dinner parties and beyond.

Adventure Club

A New York scheme taking people to hike, rope swing into lakes, climb trees, and forage in sculpture parks, to introduce them to the benefits of nature in balancing out the city’s hectic energy. It quickly grew from a personal interest in testing hikes (finding the best ones easily accessible by public transport, within a two hour radius of the city) to a membership model to meet increasing demand. I’m proud to say the club often fostered someone’s first-time-hiking experience, with a detailed guide of what to expect and how to pack easing their entrance.

Life Design

A series of group coaching workshops, deep diving into topics such as Money, Power, and Abundance, using the power of group dynamics to explore the topics from different perspectives.

Procrastinator Rehab

A collaboration with Alexandra Wicksell, addressing why we hold ourselves back. Online and London-based workshops covered overcoming procrastination’s trappings, reducing stress, avoiding burnout and restoring joy. 

KINDRED

Launched in 2015, capturing New York’s early interest in meditation and mindfulness practices. Weekly classes were held in a Williamsburg ‘garage turned industrial living room’, designed to be a home-away-from-home for NYC's creative and corporate community. The sessions were followed by community dinner at a neighbouring restaurant, and supplemented with the occasional KINDRED Social - sunset dinner soirees to allow the community to mingle in a more casual setting.

Innovation Circles

Another NY initiative, bringing entrepreneurs and enablers together to ideate and share best processes. These often featured a short curation of TED talks to set the tone, a follow-on from holding a TEDx licence in Sydney to stream tailored content.

The Treehouse

A co-creation in Sydney, each Monday night gathering to share meditation, qi gong and mindful discussion. The inner exploration was balanced with outdoor adventures: sunrise expeditions to the national park, night walks to test our way-finding intuition, hiking, rock climbing, abseiling, cliff jumping, exploring hidden waterfalls and coves and more.
