A Gathering Space


Kinvene is a home for like-hearted creators, listeners and wayfinders—a gathering place to cultivate real-world skills and embodied practices for meeting these times of uncertainty, complexity, and paradox with creativity, care and presence.

Kinvene - A Space to Partner with Life 

The Backdrop

Whether you call it the Great Simplification, the Metacrisis, The Long Dark or The Great Turning, we are living through a time of profound transformation. While none of us can change our collective systems alone, we can gather to co-create a meaningful future, together.

Generative Content

Kinvene programs offer embodied practices, real-world skills, and community connection to help us meet this threshold time with resilience and purpose. From somatic practices to soul work, we offer a space to gather with intention about themes like cultivating living cultures, animacy, and collective liberation.

Cultivating Kinship

Kinvene signature programs weave together the local and the global — an approach sometimes called translocality. Participants meet virtually for shared learning, then gather locally in small groups. In this way, our journey becomes a living exchange — rooted in place, connected across distance.

Throughout my life, I’ve been dedicated to convening community— creating sacred spaces as a volunteer, student, facilitator, and producer.

From organizing community initiatives focused on collective emergence to collaborating with renowned transformational leaders and movements, I’ve helped shape and produce events, podcasts, book launches, courses, and fundraisers that bring people together around what matters to them.

Through this work, a vision emerged to create a trusted space for kinship to flourish—locally and globally—through programs that cultivate collective wisdom.

These times call for expansive imagination, deep love, grounded presence, and true community. Let’s create something beautiful together.
