welcomes you to his home page.

I’ve spent the past twenty years experimenting with how people can live, work and grow together. These days I coach people 1:1, host groups at Casa Tilo and help mission-driven organisations collaborate.


About

Casa Tilo is a retreat centre and co-living space in the forests near Barcelona, where we treat hospitality as a sacred practice, convening the kind of people who change your life.

I’ve co-founded Microsolidarity (a network of mutual-aid communities), The Hum (organisational design for non-hierarchical teams), Enspiral (a legendary self-managing collective), and Loomio (collaborative decision-making software).


Coaching

I coach thoughtful, self-aware people who have a lot going on inside and want to turn some of that complexity into grounded action.

I offer a calm place to think, a candid mirror, and practical help with relationships, difficult conversations, leadership, and the work of building unconventional organisations or communities.

Writing

I write about the subtle social dynamics you’ve experienced in groups but have probably never quite put into words before.


Interviews

I love talking about group dynamics. Here are some favourite conversations:

You can interview me too: book here.


Music

Sound at the Speed of Sunset is my ambient music project. My favourite release so far is this collaboration with cellist Boondlllx. You can also listen on Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, or YouTube.
