What I'm Doing Now

Updated March 23rd, 2026 from my home in Quarteira, Portugal.

This is a now page inspired by Derek Sivers, and if you have your own website, you might like to make one, too.

Steph DragonHeart and the (impossible) DragonHeart Quest.

It's underway and down to the last few weeks of the official 90 day Creating the Impossible experience.

It feels as if I've tapped into something vibrant and alive with the DragonHeart Quest, regardless of how it ends up. I've been leading DragonPods online and in person here in Portugal. I'm meeting challenging in getting people to do it, but when they do, the experience is surprising and rewarding.

Partnerships: The Making Ground Experience & Radiant IRIS

I'm thrilled to partner with such beautiful, talented individuals who are willing to listen and create from within, rather than pushing from the intellect alone.

Things are moving forward. Slowly, quickly. I cannot tell. I am moved.

Pole theater?

I have no good reason to be as obsessed as I am with pole dance. And yet it persists. Delightfully.

I'm becoming more intentional about my training and where I want to go with it. Pole theater, storytelling through pole dance, is calling to me. Perhaps a performance in six months in this direction. I'm strengthening my body (and letting it rest) to make it possible.

Pantheon gatherings and Portuguese language wins

The Pantheon community is at the end of the first month of a 90 day experiment in a peer-led community. The connections are sweet and real. What happens only we can discover.

I've taken up a new motto for my Portuguese studies. "Every time I say a word in Portuguese, I win!" Low bar means easy celebrations. A little bit at a time, I am learning.

I’m gently wondering about…

What might come through me next? (This month has been updating systems and structures, which seems deleriously "not me.")
How little I really need to do, for anything.
What adventures I might get up to on my visit to the US this summer?

The images below represent my most passionate, current interests.

Calisthenics & Flexibility

Handstands, L-sits and human flags...these seem out of reach, but I want to learn! Right now, I'm focusing on my front splits.

Pole Dancing

Classes 2-3x per week, practicing on my own in the studio, with a goal of being a more embodied, fluid dancer.

Spiritual & Transformational Experiences

The Awakeners with Michael Neill and friends, apprenticing with Wyn Morgan, listening to Nothing daily.

Intimate Connection & Love

Olly invites me into deeper love and sensuality through touch and prioritizing time together.

Writing

Daily emails, a children's book, some new freebies, an a monthly Writers' Circle for the local LOFT community.

Learning Portuguese

A little bit every day (mostly) and practicing a sentence or two with the locals. It's past time to get "serious" about studying.

Transformative Coaching & Mentoring

Inspiring conversations with amazing humans -- I have these pretty much daily. I'm so blessed to create with others.

Community Catalyst

Creating transformational games with Krishnan Unnikrishnan and Radiant Iris, the LoveInAction community, and dreaming up a portable community culture adventure.

(Un)Marketing Services

A long-time idea to create an "agency" to serve the business and technology needs of my amazing community with an inside-out approach. Conscious Tech. Digital Freedom conversations.
