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.

Belong to the whole.
 

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.
