Welcome.

I’m Devon - a hungerer, human, mother, mover, dreamer, and writer. I’m here to conspire with you to transform the world by fostering the kind of creativity and community that’s at the heart of who we are.

I work at the intersection of body, spirit, and story to help people slow down, listen, unleash their wacky, wild selves, identify an ecosystem of belonging, and join hands to make lasting, large-scale change.

We were made for more than this.

Do you often feel an inexplicable longing or hunger?

Have you felt alone or disoriented as you navigated a radical life transition?

Have you lost faith in an old set of beliefs, but struggled to rewrite new ones?

Are you out of touch, or only vaguely acquainted, with your intuition or inner knowing?

Did you think that by now, things would be different? Do you wonder if it’s too late?

Do you sometimes feel disconnected from your body, your community, the land, your lineage, or your place in it all?

Me too.

You’re not the one that’s broken.

Racism and White Supremacy. Sexism and Patriarchy. Capitalism. Homophobia and Transphobia. Climate Change and Environmental Exploitation. The Perfect Mother Myth. The list goes on.

We live in a world that doesn’t support our wholeness and humanity. It treats us as productivity machines whose sole worth lies in our outputs and achievements. The systems were designed this way for the benefit of a small few. They were built out of fear. The success of these systems depends on our compliance, our silence.

We have the power to change things. To turn the tables, shout truths from the mountaintops. To remake a better, more beautiful reality.

We are not meant to do it alone.

Forget about bootstraps - let’s go barefoot. Let’s reclaim “the village”. Let’s conspire for good.

For millennia, our ancestors have gathered together around the fire to tell stories, make music, dance. It is our nature. To know one another - to see one another for who we really are - invites love and eliminates fear.

Yet in today’s society, genuine connection is hard to find. Disembodiment and distance are all we’ve been taught. Communion is rebellion. Awakening to our inherent worth is dangerous.

I believe if we try to undo the “isms” from our individual homes, on our screens, alone, we will fail. We need each other.

I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I do know that I want to follow the scent of freedom, to wander in the direction of light.
