For This Hour

One person. One coffee.
One uninterrupted hour.

Tell me about whatever moves you — something you nerd out about that brings you ridiculous joy, something you can't stop thinking about, something gorgeous, something scandalous, something you wish you could tell someone, a grief you're moving through, something you've never understood about humans, a life you've lived, something you're dreaming about, something you hope to manifest — or something else entirely.

A moment in time.

Our time together will not be recorded or documented and what you share will be kept confidential. I may snap a polaroid before we leave for my own memory of the connection.

a few things worth knowing —

I'm not here to give you advice.

There is nothing to fix.

I'm here to be present. To be curious. To listen without waiting for my turn to speak or adding my own stories to yours.

"Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity."

Why am I doing this?

Understanding connection — how it helps people flourish, and the harm caused when people do not have it — is my present priority.

I'm curious about what shape a story takes when it's intentionally listened to and uninterrupted. I'm curious about my own capacity to listen, and how I show up when I'm not waiting for my turn to speak. I have a desire to receive deep presence. I know others might have that desire too.

Some people go their whole lives never feeling truly seen or listened to. One hour won't fix what I believe is a societal failure. But it's a practice. And practices compound.

"The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence."

— Thich Nhat Hanh

The coffee is on me.

Reserve an hour

Not ready to sit with me — because being seen might actually be terrifying — but you're down for other people who might want this experience?
