Origin
Unwalled Sanctuary
began on December 8, 2016.
I brought the concept to therapeutic coworking with a colleague at a New York nonprofit.
That coworking lasted six years.
In that container, I developed the framework:
The space needed no walls.
No clinical hierarchy.
No “above and below.”
I built the current practice on that work.BACKGROUND
At five years old, the arts became my first language. I found my truest expression in constant motion—performing, dancing, and singing.
I learned by doing, listening, and holding space in real life.Between 2010 and 2015, I immersed myself in intensive human inquiry. By year three, my mentor recognized a rare trait in me: the capacity to be an objective, deep-space witness.In the beginning of 2015, I initiated a 40-day inward self-observation project titled mask off / the mirror. It shifted my practice into visual art and deepened my capacity to listen without fixing.Today, I combine that intensive background in deep listening and spatial awareness with the kinetic, expressive power of the arts. I do not provide clinical advice or look back to stay stuck. I partner with people who are ready to be heard, ready to take bold action, and ready to make The Return to themselves.For over ten years, my site work has examined a single driving question:How can a place hold a person?The answer manifested in physical, 3D assemblages. These temporary works evolved through multiple stages before reaching their final expression. True to the philosophy of Unwalled Sanctuary, these structures are intentionally dissolved once the inquiry is complete. “The work lives in the act of making, not in its archive."This is the work that built the witness.APPROACH
Sessions are 60 minutes.
No notes. No recordings. No files. No clinical observations. No archive.
The container is peer-to-peer. This is not therapy, counseling, or medical treatment.
This is not about overcoming.
This is about occupying the room you’re already in.
This is about remembering who you are and coming back to your true self.
The session comes to do what it’s here to do, then it ends.
I’m the witness.FOUNDER

"This mixed-media assemblage represents a ten-year metamorphosis, where disparate found objects gradually coalesced to find their truest, illuminated expression."
