In 2014 I began teaching drawing and printmaking and quickly fell in love with collective creative spaces. In these containers, people seemed to bloom beyond their boundaries without effort. Something about the collective energy allowed a profound sense of wellness and possibility to emerge, and I quickly realized I had little to do with the magic I was witnessing, my job was simply to hold the container that supported the phenomenon. In 2013, when I had the honour of experiencing an ayahuaska ceremony lead by a practitioner trained under the Shipibo people in Amazon rainforest of Peru, I knew that transformative space holding was my calling, and I have continued threading these aspects together over the last twenty years.
Today I share my passion through various interconnected channels - as a Men’s work practitioner, a relational coach, and a practicing artist. I believe collective experiences are needed today more than ever, and it is my mission to be at the forefront of this exploration.
