Now
What I'm focused on, thinking about, and working toward.
Last updated February 2026. Inspired by nownownow.com.
Currently Focused On
OpenCivics
Building participatory governance infrastructure and coordinating the next round of community funding. We've distributed more than $350k USD to 47 projects through participatory funding.
Imaginal House
Tending a community hub and sanctuary on Salt Spring Island for practitioners designing regenerative futures.
Luminary Society
Designing the next series of participatory social experiences blending sacred and satirical play.
Thinking About
Cosmolocal coordination and what it means to design governance that honors both planetary interconnection and place-based sovereignty. The relationship between cognitive liberty and collective intelligence. How participatory funding can evolve beyond grants toward mutual stewardship.
Living
Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, in the Salish Sea. Learning to be in right relationship with the land, the seasons, and the pace of island life.
"I believe that we, that this planet, hasn't seen its Golden Age. Everybody says its finished ... art's finished, rock and roll is dead, God is dead. Fuck that! This is my chance in the world. I didn't live back there in Mesopotamia, I wasn't there in the Garden of Eden ... I'm right here right now and I want now to be the Golden Age."
If you're building something that matters and could use a thinking partner, I'd love to hear from you.
