Hi! I’m Steven!
I am cultivator of care-centered communities—through song, storytelling, and organizing for systemic change. I bring a neurodivergent, queer, Jewish, musical lens to everything I do to facilitate a radical reimagining of the world.
I value shleimut (wholeness): centering compassion, prioritizing embodied joy, honoring individual experiences and perspectives as inherently valuable
I value sakranut (curiosity): approaching relationship with wide eyes and open arms, interrogating norms, embracing multiplicity, reflecting on ways systems of domination show up
I value teshuvah (return & repair): offering paths for individual and collective harm to be remediated, moving with grief, healing through connection, knowing mistakes will be made again
I value YOU: thank you for being here, in this moment, on this sacred land, becoming something new, learning about me :)
