I believe commitment to beauty in our lives will save us from self-destruction:

as the Ancient Greek word for beauty was kalon — related to call — beauty compels us to heed unspoken words to dive deeper, explore, stay a while in something profound and unexplainable, and eventually work to preserve it. I endeavour to flesh out this concept forever, through words and visual media.

"I'm the storyteller, existential artefact collector, and archivist of authenticity behind Synaesthete Media — a deep listener and quiet witness to humanity's hidden beauty."

A writer and renaissance woman whose life represents a lifelong quest around three questions (as posed by Iain McGilchrist): What is good, what is beautiful, and what is true.

For over ten years, she documented the wildness of the world and festival culture, places of communal emotion, and the sacredness borne of people gathered in participation of something bigger than themselves.

Now, in a world coming apart at the seams, she turns her lens to matters of morality, beauty and truth — not as a luxury, but a lifeline — these things that compel us to linger, to stay, to preserve what matters most when it seems all is lost. She is also writing a book about all of this.

Collecting Shards

Sporadic digests holding divinity up to the light — on curiosity, beauty, literature, philosophy, psychology, spirituality, and more — all which help with finding one's way back onto the path of their authentic Personal Legend (for any Alchemist pilgrims in my midst).
For the long-form people: big thinkers, slow readers, fellow aesthetes.

"It's said that divinity was once one vessel that broke apart and scattered gleaming shards and reflections of itself all across the world we live in, amongst great tragedy and ugliness and imperfection and all the rest we see and feel and process on a daily basis. Thus, a key task for all of us — despite much pain and uncertainty and despair — is to pick up and share those shards wherever we happen to find them.

The ultimate goal not even necessarily being to reach these divine fragments of beauty, meaning, love, and transcendence (though it's near-miraculous and worthy of celebrating when we do), but to simply live in search; to continually yearn forward in hopes we just might one day find and feel them as deeply and meaningfully as we do our harsher lived realities; to bring about wholeness and unity, piece by elusive piece."
