​"As if in each of us there once was a fire
And for some of us there seem as if there are only ashes now
But when we dig in the ashes we find one ember
And very gently we fan that ember
Blow on it, it gets brighter
And from that ember we rebuild the fire" - Ram Dass

​Join us for an intimate evening of authentic sharing and profound connection as we explore the art of getting out of our own way and unfucking ourselves. Through personal stories, shared wisdom, and open dialogue, we'll dive into the transformative journey of self-discovery and healing.

​The Ember Within

​We all carry an eternal flame within us – though sometimes it may feel reduced to embers, barely glowing beneath the ashes of our experiences. This gathering is about gently uncovering that ember together, learning to fan it with loving attention until it flickers and grows.

​This isn't about fixing what's broken – it's about remembering what was never lost. Behind the noise of our minds, beyond all polarities, exists a truth that's been waiting for us to discover it. The real work, as we'll explore together, lies in the privacy of our own hearts.

​What to Expect

​This gathering will be a safe, judgment-free space where we'll share personal experiences of transformation, including:

• ​The journey from burnout to wholeness

• ​Finding and nurturing our inner ember

• ​Lessons learned from self-directed healing practices

• ​The role of alternative therapies in personal growth

• ​Tools for quieting the mind and opening the heart

• ​Stories of breakdown and breakthrough

​I will openly share my 4-year journey of moving through burnout to rebuilding myself, including lessons learned through self-directed psychedelic assisted therapy. This will open the space for all of us to explore our own paths of transformation.

​What are LEMON Conversations? 🍋

​Have you ever seen a lemon this size!? 😅

​I went to a conference in Sintra, Portugal (near Lisbon) and stayed in an Airbnb. A beautiful Lemon tree was outside my window with these GIGANTIC lemons (see the event picture) - bigger than my hand! I told people about it on the first day and they didn’t believe me…so, I took one to the conference and people were fascinated by it.

​Walking around, so many people came up to me and asked about the lemon. Most of the time their reaction was “WOW, omg, is that a lemon!?”…and so, the lemon became a conversation starter.

​The beauty of it was, I didn’t have to approach people - They came to me. And it was an incredible way of having an introduction to a person I’d never met and having a light hearted, human and curious conversation.

​And so…for 4 days, I carried the lemon around with me. People even gave it a name - she’s called Esperanza Zitrona haha! Esperanza is “hope” in Spanish. And Zitrona is “Lemon” in German. So…this hopeful lemon, became a whole thing of it’s own and LEMON Conversations were born.

​LEMON stands for:

• ​Loving

• ​Exciting

• ​Meaningful

• ​Open

• ​Nuanced

​They are interactions with someone that feel human, brings joy and are meaningful to you and the other person or people. It’s not scripted. It’s just an open conversation, with another human or set of humans. 🍋
