Hello flower,
welcome to my page—here you can glimpse my practice~
BIO
I’m a cultural ecologist, curator, and ceremonialist. With roots in design and visual arts, my focus lies in crafting embodied scenarios for mutual flourishing - bravely calling myself an architect of choice: creating spaces and situations that induce soft fascination of being in service to Life.
My practice weaves together animism, Indigenous wisdom, myth, cosmology, ritual, performance, and land art. The knowledge I gather, through listening, investigation, meditation, and pilgrimage—guides me to grow

How? By weaving community, co-regulating with land and its inhabitants, and widening the circles of awareness, presence, and memory.
The world around us is grown by reciprocity. Energy comes directly from the sun. Learning from plants and the wisdom of photosynthesis, we can now live from heliogenic energy to power our society. Tools are crafted to endure, not to break. We don’t produce waste. The economy is one of offerings — rooted in relationship.
I co-founded and co-direct LIOS Labs, a nonprofit creating experimental formats for artistic and ecological education—spaces for healing, emergence, collective (un)learning, and mythopoetic land research.
I’m a bard and player in the Oslo Project, a global initiative inverting “the tragedy of unfunded commons” by coordinating and investing in life-serving solutions that foster human flourishing.
I host and facilitate pedagogical experiments, gatherings, and ceremonies.
