What I'm Doing Now

Updated July 2nd, 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.

The Collaboratorium:

A creative laboratory for artists, technologists, storytellers, and community asking the question:

What becomes possible when creativity, technology, and human connection are used in service of peace?

I'm on the team making this happen. Learn more here: https://radiantiris.org/colab

Make the Damn Thing Real

Jasmyne DesBiens and I are creating playful, high-touch creative sprints for people with meaningful work that’s ready to come out of hiding.

We help them turn a tangle of ideas, half-built pieces, and big vision into a clear, beautiful next chapter they can actually see, share, and build from.

Right now, we're experimenting with a few select individuals. I can't wait to share it more broadly as it evolves!

Pole rehab and training

I've been rehabbing my left shoulder. This hasn't dissuaded me from pole dancing. Rather, it's made me more determined to cross-train properly and do it safely and sustainably.

With a new instructor at the Baddies On Heels studio, I'm still learning and growing. Fortunately, my injury didn't require a complete break from pole. I think my heart would break.

The Time Looms is back in my life!

I wrote the first draft of a novel in 2020 that's haunted me ever since.

I've decided the only time to work on it is now. (Ironic for a Now Page.) So I'm spending a little time every week moving it forward. It's slow, but happening.

Steph DragonHeart

Ever since the dream of Steph DragonHeart dropped in back in fall of 2025, it's been alive.

Right now I'm slowly exploring a website, offerings and images to share what the heck it's actually about. And calling myself Steph DragonHeart on the regular.

Visiting the US and Canada in July and August.

My visa is finally on its way to approval! That means international travel is available for me again.

My ports of call include NYC and upstate NY, Vancouver and LA. Reach out if you're in one of these areas and would like to meet up.

I’m gently wondering about…

How might I bend space and time to do all the things I love to do?
The phenomenal creative power of a team with a passionate, collective goal.
Could it be that creating more space in my mind and less doing is actually more productive?

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.

Transformational Experiences

Michael Neill and friends, retreats with clients, adventures with Radiant IRIS, great conversations

Daily emails and returning to The Time Looms novel after a long haitus.

Learning Portuguese

A little bit every day (mostly) and practicing a sentence or two with the locals.

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