About
Fieldwork and somatic training inform the production practice.
I have worked with elders across generations. The work took place in caves, in low light, and through long periods of listening. I was often the youngest person present.

Experience
Pressure and silence both reveal how a system operates.
The body registers a missed handoff, a crowded room, and an unnamed responsibility.
I have lived in Italy, Turkey, Nigeria, Spain, and part time in Lebanon. I also taught English and Montessori in Nigeria for several months. Working across these places taught me to identify what is spoken, what is assumed, and what helps a person settle. That experience informs production when the language, light, and landscape are unfamiliar.
I produce retreats in English and Spanish, with a specialization in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Colombia.
An agency hands you a brand kit and a project manager who have never spoken to each other. I do both, which means the emails sound like the retreat looks.

Operating principle
Most of what goes wrong at a retreat is someone not knowing what happens next. I produce the retreat where nobody has to ask.
The method is concrete. Read the room. Name the next decision. Assign each responsibility. Record each handoff.
I train in Somatic Archaeology and begin offering sessions in January, once I have graduated. It is separate from the production work, and it is the reason I understand what facilitators are actually holding.
