There is no other feeling than when you follow through with yourself! Be authentically you - I’ll start there.

Just wrapped up the final installation of Anatomic Frequencies for the year. What an experience! This immersive project was so much fun to create! From walking the streets collecting neighbour’s leaves to seeing all ages play in the space…how wonderful!

Thank you so much to all involved in the process. It has been an absolute privilege!

If you’re just a little curious, you can join the guest list on my website for the virtual event on Winter Solstice - Dec 21st. Link in bio :)

I’m still on a high from such great vibes. Met so many amazing people. Great conversations…so much gratitude.
