“I” is not the traditional “I” we’ve come to know…the one with me over here and you over there. we/I exist as an assemblage, a holobiont (explored later)—a temporary housing of matter, nutrients, bacteria, consciousness, and heart. a heart that gave rise to the wild threshold. a heart I don’t claim as distinctly mine.

life is ultimately about the way we make-with and live-with each other. this is a space to share fertilizer, tend collective compost—to make contact with wonderment.

this is not a space for “healing.” it’s a space for deepening, curiosity, unlearning, unmaking, and staying open. a space of eros—the glue that binds. a space where we acknowledge our nature as embedded mammals.

this is not coaching, it’s companioning—walking-with, being-with all that wants to reveal itself; rooted in the five tenets of ecological psychology; a space to share nutritive and perhaps even challenging offerings; sustenance expanding thought to support psychological diversity making, feeling, and relationship. I am not an expert. I do not contain answers yet in the words of Whitman I contain multitudes as do you.

I will share what has decomposed and recomposed (both still in process). it got messy. it is messy. but life is a serious matter—because it matters. how we live, think, and feel matters. it affects and creates—or doesn’t—our world.

I follow infinite footsteps. I share my teachers. I share what has felt like lifetimes searching for: re-membering home in living entanglements, in ecological psychology— which is really just about being in relationship with

e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g; responsive, response-able.

I’ll be full-spectrum feeling in my sharings, musings, curiosities and explorations — I know there will be ripples and nothing said is ever fixed when we approach this from life revealing itself.

we are—as a teacher I often return to says—weaving the edges of tomorrow; creating the conditions for future living.

this “work” matters. the work of being in relationship, cultivating an ethos, creating psychic space, reanimating our senses, being humble, human, mammal.
