Feeding a life-long hunger to understand how the world works
—and how to do good work within it.

Orientation

I’ve been teaching, writing, and convening learning spaces for decades.

Not as a single program or curriculum—but as an ongoing inquiry into meaningful work, right livelihood, mindfulness, and community. Some learning opportunities are active right now. Others rest for a while, return in new forms, or become books, essays, or conversations.

This page is a quiet orientation to that longer arc.


How learning happens here

I offer learning in seasons, and in several forms:

  • short email mini-courses

  • live Zoom conversations and small groups

  • longer programs and workshops

  • books, essays, and reflections

Some invitations are open now. Others are resting, archived, or waiting for the right moment to return.

I don’t keep everything “for sale” all the time. When something is offered, it’s because the conditions feel right.

Current Learning Invitations

Using AI as Augmented Thinking

An email mini-course, gently exploring how to work with new tools as thinking partners—especially for elders, creators, mindful entrepreneurs, and independent makers.

Going Deeper with Augmented Thinking

A group conversation online about using AI as Augmented Thinking.

Creative Restart

An email mini-course to support people at mid-life and later who feel a creative or vocational turning point calling.

Past and Occasional Offerings

These offerings are not currently open, but they continue to inform my teaching and writing. Some may return in updated form.

Notification and Invitation

If you’d like to be notified when learning invitations reopen—or when something new emerges—you’re welcome to join a low-frequency learning updates list.

This list is used sparingly and only for teaching-related invitations.

 

Notify me about future learning opportunities

Some teaching happens live.
Some happens slowly, through writing.
Some happens only when enough people arrive at the same question at the same time.

All of it is part of the same inquiry.
