What’s the Collective about?
It’s a vibe. A state of mind. A state of being. A connection to something bigger than each of us and at once inclusive of all of us.

It’s all the people in particular on your particular road of Yay.
It’s you.
It’s friends and guides. Live and rides.
People who invite you to be your full, freaky, glorious, rad/ical self.
My people
are pebbles in ponds, lakes, and oceans, radiating circles of elevation, forming an archipelago of bridge-building Yay. Question askers, meaning makers, matter spatterers, inner peerers, epiphany seekers, withnessers, armor shedders, soul be-ers, wilderness becomers.
are people like you
who are raising all kinds of Yay in the most radical and inclusive ways:
leadHers, feminists, people of all genders having conversations with the yin and the feminine within and out in the world
connectors, coaches, conveners, culture designers
weavers, witches, writers
storytellers, strategists, marketers
guides, navigators, compass attuners
human designers, dancers, dent-makers, and destroyers of systems that don’t serve all of us equally
activators, authors, amplifiers, activists, astrologers
teachers, poets, students
learners and unlearners
why and how we matter
Celebrating friend and author Charlene Allen’s (That’s her on the far left) Play the Game book tour at pages, a bookstore.
These matterings are not just smatterings, we stay with each other—outside the lines, after the show is over, when that zoom window closes–reverberating across the lands.
When people like you and me understand, embody, and tell our stories in the most Yayful way, we create movements of positivity that add up to tectonic shifts in the world — touching and enlivening each other with truth and meaning and joy and presence.
That’s Yay and why it matters. Especially now (and it’s always now).
Celebrating friend and author Charlene Allen’s Play the Game book tour at pages, a bookstore with friends and fam. Yay!
This is your open invitation to elevation. Inside a circle of high vibrations and spirit-level connections. Finding our Yay. In the here and now of today.
