A Third Place is a place of gentle reconnection outside of home and work.
There is no agenda. No presentation. No networking. No icebreakers.
No expectation that you stay the whole time.
Just a place to arrive.
As a pop-up, I'll anchor a third place somewhere in San Diego.
You're welcome to join for ten minutes or two hours.
Bring a book for exchange—sneak a kind note of encouragement inside.
Browse a book to take home.
Write a need or an offer on the Third Place chalkboard.
Sit quietly with a cup of tea.
Chat up with an old friend.
Meet someone new.
If you do strike up a conversation, there is just this suggested open question:
Tell me about your week . . .
It is remarkable what happens when someone is invited to answer honestly.
This isn't an organization or a membership.
It's simply a response to the fragmentation of these modern times and to loneliness. It's an attempt to reclaim something many of us are missing—a hang out.
A place that isn't home.
A place that isn't work.
A place where community is allowed to happen without being orchestrated.
Come when you'd like.
Bring a friend.
No RSVP.
No pressure.
Just people sharing a little more of our lives, together.
My work and passions are rooted in decades guiding humans through transition, loss, identity rupture, and emergence. I bring a poetic depth and practical sensibility that orients to the body’s intelligence, a respect for inner rhythm, and a commitment to compassionate and courageous expression.
