After being asked to do this for a long time, I've created a place to hold my writings on issues of culture-making, village-making, restorative justice, ancestry, shame, decolonization and European folk tales and traditions.

Unlike my marketing work, there's very little 'how to' in it but a lot of wondering about 'how come?'

If you're drawn to the works of Stephen Jenkinson, Martin Shaw, Martin Prechtel, Bayo Akomolafe, Sharon Blackie, Derrick Jensen, Gabor Mate, Paul Kingsnorth, Sylvia Federici, James Baldwin, Vine Deloria Jr., James Hillman, Michael Meade, Marion Woodman, Thomas King, Wendell Berry, Deena Metzger, Clarissa Pinkola-Estes, Bill Plotkin then we might just get along.

"It is easy for me to imagine that the next great division of the world will be between people who wish to live as creatures and people who wish to live as machines.” ― Wendell Berry, Life is a Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition

If these sorts of things interest you, living as a creature and not a machine, you might enjoy what I write here. Each read will be about a ten minute read I think.
