LIVE EVENTS
Blizwell Salons
With co-host Karin Bliznik, curate private spaces for performers to practice the edges of their craft in a supportive community of other artists. Salons are coupled with public shows and pop-up art experiences, and have birthed many new collaborations and connections within the art community. Currently focused in St. Louis where we both live, but coming soon to places like Los Angeles, Austin, New Orleans, Paris, & more.
Poetry of Place Guided Walks
Experiential shows and workshops on foot to explore the relationships between language and landscape, presence and poetry, history and mythology, listening and praying. Past tours have included Oakland's famous cemeteries, the wild Cali seashores where the elk still roam, and the hidden walnut wilds of east Los Angeles. Currently exploring Missouri's land of confluences, and welcoming future collaborations with people deeply connected with their local landscapes.
Creative Retreats
Every creative needs time and space to slow down, reflect, and explore edges of their art in a supportive community. In collaboration with other artists and meditation and healing arts practitioners, I design and co-host retreats around the world to deepen practice and awareness and creative potential. Sign up for mailing list below for updates on upcoming events!
Writing Practice Groups
In collaboration with amazing poets & humans including Brian Sonia Wallace, Matthew Sherling and others, building practice community for creatives is a favorite hobby. Virtual spaces and occasional live retreats - reach out personally if interested.

Past Project Highlight Reel
The Bard's Night Out
With bard partner Henry Jack, this three-year experiment focused on bringing poetry off the page and into the full multidimensional and cinematic embodiment that is possible when we invite body, subtle energy, community, and setting into the living poem. Our aim was to create a group experience of the interior of a poem as it can be felt only when we come together in transmitting and receiving as a collective field, not just individual minds. Salon-style performances - sometimes with musical accompaniment - were woven with group exercises to break the fourth wall, and followed by open mics where audience members could try on the bard role in the open field they had just helped to create.
A Journey into Embodied Poetry (Jan 2014), Circling the Poem (Aug 2014), The Paradox of Eros (Jan 2015), The Wood Element (Mar 2015), Around the Fire (Aug 2015), The Poetics of Gratitude (Nov 2015), Bard’s Night In (Jan 2016), Transitions (May 2016), The White Album (Oct 2016).
Relational Meditation Games
From dusty domes at Burning Man to living rooms around the country, guiding groups into experiences of expanded and collective awareness through simultaneously tracking interior, intersubjective, and group dynamics at once. Weaving authentic expression practices like circling, t-group, world work and bohmian dialogue with good old-fashioned meditation, eye contact, snacks and tea - raw perception and expression become the living poem, and you never know what kind of magic might arise.
Poetry & Movement Workshops
In collaboration with Dance Church Encinitas, have designed multiple workshops discovering and disrupting patterns in our listening and speaking to create living moving collective poems with both body and words.
Collaborative Multi-modal Art Show Production
Weaving multiple art forms into interactive and curated performance experiences that help heal and build bridges through art - this is my JAM. See the program for Pilgrim 2016, for just one example, and follow Queen Kiddo to keep up with our collaborative "Chamber of Music and Radness" performance events.
