Hi, I’m Dechen.

Welcome to the online home for my work:

  • I lead retreats in contemplative and relational practice. I see group work as a potent catalyst for insight and growth at the personal, interpersonal, transpersonal, communal, and societal levels.

  • I offer 1:1 coaching to catalyze your development contemplatively, relationally, and as a leader. 

  • I also perform as a singer, songwriter, and musician.

I am open to receiving inquiries about 1:1 work and leading events in your community.

I look forward to learning how our paths might weave together.

Current Research Interests

I am actively experimenting with devotional friendship, chosen family, and other novel forms to seed cultural change and build robust networks of intimacy and resource sharing.

Futures of The Masculine + Feminine

Many of my collaborative crews are consciously engaging the relationship between the masculine and feminine, asking: How do we do this dance beautifully? I had an event on the topic; more coming soon.

As a helping professional, I remain critical of our current system and am exploring radical, alternative pathways to care and flourishing within our communities.
