Meaningful & Impactful Gatherings

Years of Experience

I design and facilitate intentional gatherings that help people feel connected to themselves and one another.

My work supports people who want more than an event; they want something alive, relational, and transformative.

This sits at the intersection of -
Ritual × Facilitation × Culture × Ceremony

Dreaming of a gathering with purpose, but lacking time and capacity?

I design and facilitate meaningful gatherings that help people mark important moments, navigate emotional complexity, and make shared meaning together. My role is to hold the emotional, relational, and structural components of a gathering so the people in it can participate fully rather than carry the burden of hosting, facilitating, or “figuring out how to do it right.”

After the Covid-19 pandemic, I felt a clear calling: to help people reclaim the sacredness of coming together. We live in a world that often isolates us, and I believe that intentional gatherings are one of the most powerful antidotes we have. My work is to co-create those anchors with you.

My guiding belief is simple: life is a gift to be experienced together, and we meet new parts of ourselves through our relationships with others. I walk beside people to shape gatherings that reflect this truth—spaces that are grounded, alive, and memorable in all the right ways.

  • Decades of convening experience across poetry jams, house concerts, community dialogue circles, ceremonies, business pitch competitions, milestones birthdays, retirement parties, and memorial tributes

  • A relational, trust-centered approach—I work slowly, collaboratively, and largely through referrals to ensure each gathering emerges organically from its purpose

  • Creative facilitation and ritual design without dogma, formula, or rigidity

  • The ability to hold emotional, interpersonal, and communal complexity with care

People come to me when they want a gathering that:

  • Feels meaningful, not mechanical

  • Honours both the practical and the spiritual dimensions of coming together

  • Supports connection, reflection, celebration, healing, or transition

  • Is crafted with intention, sensitivity, and creativity

  • Emerges from deep listening—not a template
