3 Invitations in the Coming Week
Hi Friends,
A quick note to share three invitations in the coming week.
First, our monthly community dialogue (office hours) with me begins in one hour.
In the future, these will be held for paid subscribers, but this first one remains open to everyone. Please come, say hello, bring questions, bring whatever is alive for you, and we can enter into dialogue together. Over time, these may deepen into shared study sessions for the (r)evolution many of us feel stirring beneath the surface of things.

Next, Rabbi Zelig Golden and I are hosting our final info session for Brit Adam, the Jewish Men’s Initiation and Ceremonial Arts Training, Sunday, March 1st, 4:30pm PST
This session is open to everyone, and we love having folks join the dialogue even if the container itself isn’t ultimately a fit. These conversations often open something larger - memory, longing, and the recognition that cultures of initiation are instrumental to a regenerative future.
A beautiful cohort is forming, and we now have just a few spots remaining.
Lastly, I am hosting the extraordinary Gibrán Rivera for our first Regenerative Oracle Live, a monthly live conversation podcast series continuing the Re/Culture Live lineage.
This conversation will be Monday, March 2nd at 11:30am PST
*Note: This is a date change from the previously announced February 25th. I made a scheduling error, and I appreciate your grace with the adjustment.
It will be a fiery and important session on questions that sit at the heart of our time.
I first encountered Gibrán and his partner Tuesday through their racial justice depth-guides training, and what struck me was their rare capacity to address the failures of shame-based justice work without retreating into avoidance or comfort. They spoke plainly about the ways reckoning is required, and also about the ways that reckoning must ultimately serve life, not diminish it.
Because no exalted community visions will ever take root on lands where genocide, theft, and ongoing oppression remain unacknowledged. And yet, if we are to build the regenerative future our hearts know is possible, we must learn to face these truths in ways that nourish dignity and metabolize grief into belonging - rather than collapse us into despair or disconnection.
This conversation will be part of that work.
Part live-podcast. Part mythic oracle. Part honest reckoning.
