I hold rooms. Sometimes that means facilitating a conversation between people who fundamentally disagree. Sometimes it means standing barefoot in a field reciting poetry from as a (poe)tree.
I am a facilitator, experience designer, and artist based at Emerge Lakefront, Stockholm, part of the Ekskäret Foundation ecosystem. I have worked across 13 countries and 3 languages, building spaces where something real can happen between people.
My facilitation practice, The Elephant, helps teams move past polite consensus into coherence. My artistic practice explores how the body knows things the mind hasn't caught up to yet. They are the same practice wearing different clothes.
Currently shaping cultural programming and governance at Emerge Lakefront. Producer.. TEDx speaker , perdoming the talk across 8 European countries. Published poet. Fire spinner. Argentine.

Inhabit Yourself
“How do we inhabit ourselves when facing challenges?
What if, like in nature's composting process, our difficulties could become fertile soil for growth? In this TEDx talk, I explore how nature's wisdom can transform our relationship with challenge, offering a framework for both personal and systemic change.
Through personal story and practical metaphor, discover how creative resilience can turn our 'trauma-lands' into fertile ground for new possibilities
