We are edge tenders, vessel makers, question shapers, flame kindlers, and co-inquirers.
We support people, artists and non-artists, by facilitating a creative process that encourages contact with deep, post-rational modes of knowing.
We make art as a way of increasing our tolerance, resilience, and coherence with life in these challenging times.
We are cultivating Conspire Studio as a seed of something we ourselves long for in our community: a house of creative inquiry, where we work from a supposition that it’s at the strange edges and in-between spaces of our thoughts, our feelings, and our sensate creativity that new perceptions, and therefore new actions, emerge.
At Conspire, we follow pleasure, string old words into strange new questions, explore relationships upside down, tinker, toy, dismantle things (and sometimes re-mantle them), and allow dissolution and destruction into our process.
Every creative session we facilitate, we also fully participate in. We’re in this together.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

I’ve spent the last two decades exploring the edges and possibilities of how and where we shape culture, through the study of language, art-making, textures of relating, and ritual dynamics. I am always reaching for balance between two parts of my nature: thinking critically and witnessing beauty. I love to notice and support what is most alive in other people and in the interstitial, the spaces between us.
As a Jewish person, I am passionate about renewing ancient Jewish practice with animist devotion and non-Stateist, diasporic and anti-genocidal world-building. I am a co-shaper of the radical Jewish planner Dreaming the World to Come, one of many tools that emerges at the queer edge of liberatory Jewish culture to help us find our way to a future that supports ALL life, including our Palestinian relatives.
I live in Leicester, North Carolina with many wonderful neighbors, some of them human, and my amazing six year old co-traveler, Weaver.
