Rishi

🌊 I feel most alive acting as an agent on behalf of creativity, community, care, and cooperation. I delight in facilitating emergent play, co-created ritual, and braver living.

🧙🏾‍♂️ I partner with organizations and their leaders to move with purpose, integrity, and grace in periods of uncertainty and upheaval.

🦋 I’ve spent over a decade working in startups, creating alternative performance art spaces, and cultivating my own version of an ancestral ritual practice. It gives me great pleasure to weave all of these threads together as I continue to expand into my sacred calling.

꩜ This site attempts to capture what is across the various incarnations of me.

  • continuing my study and life-practice of tantric teachings

  • cooking up some new ideas for performance art, playback theater, and emergent ritual theater. watch this space!! (or be in touch)
  • a big theme for me this year continues to be reciprocity: how can I share abundantly what I have and ask for and receive what I need?
