The Homecoming: your journey back to yourself ❤️🔥
An Invitation to heal, grow, and connect
First, I want to warmly welcome all the new readers here. Many of you have joined since I announced my indefinite break from social media, and I’m thrilled to have you!
I have a couple of pieces of writing in the works. One is an essay titled “What do we do with difference?,” the third in a trilogy about polarization, us-versus-them thinking, and alternative perspectives (you can find the first two on my Substack: Silence, Violence, and the Death of Civil Discourse and Justice, Vengeance, and the Practicalities of Civil Discourse). The second piece is a personal reflection on my reasons for leaving social media. I’m excited to share both with you soon!
But for now, I’d love to invite you to an event I'm co-running in November called Human Work: The Homecoming, held at Wakana, Spain.
The Homecoming is a 4-day, 3-night experience designed to help you reconnect with yourself. We’re inviting people who are ready to heal, grow, and learn in community. You'll experience:
Shadow work
Emotional release & integration
Ritual combat
Community & celebration
Relational and embodiment practices
Sweat lodge ceremony
Sound & breathwork
Immersion in nature
What past participants have said:
"After experiencing trauma, the loving community at Human Work was everything I needed. It was a warm, trusting space that helped me deepen my ability to process emotions. I found a depth of connection I never knew was possible—a transformative experience I’ll forever be grateful for."
"I had always struggled with violence after facing it in my past. Even private Muay Thai lessons triggered panic attacks. But the way the Human Work team facilitated this sensitive and confronting activity was transformational. They created a space where I felt safe to step in and work through deep fears. Now, I’m braver, my nervous system can regulate in difficult situations, and I’ve rebuilt trust, especially with men."
My personal testimonial: In my 15 years of deep personal and spiritual work—from meditation to plant medicines to somatic therapies—I've never experienced anything quite like this. The unique blend of deep healing work across multiple modalities, combined with celebration, community, music and FUN, is something really special. When I invite you to join, I do so with genuine belief in the transformative power of this event for anyone feeling stuck, lonely, curious or who simply wants to deepen their connection to themselves, others and the earth.
I’m sorry it’s taken me a while to share this, because spots are filling fast—summer carried me away! 😆
