Introducing... Together Tuesdays


Sunset views from your new Tuesday office

I'm opening up my home in Malibu for "Together Tuesdays," an intentional co-creation and community space. My inspiration for doing so is loosely based on Radha Agrawal's book, Belong. She encourages her readers to look at the intersection of their values, interests, and abilities to build community and the sense of belonging. 

I've always felt like a Third Culture Kid - someone who wasn't fully Chinese, yet also wasn't fully American. My family also moved multiple times during childhood, and as an adult, I have done the same... I haven't stayed in the same home for more than 18 months since college. Without a strong connection to a specific culture or place, I've often felt alone, despite all my wonderful friends and family. I knew that I had to build or find my own community, to belong. 

My last project, UMA, was an attempt at community building. My initial goals in co-founding UMA had little to do with crypto/blockchain, and everything to do with finding the people that I wanted to spend my time and energy with. Unfortunately, the people and broader industry were not aligned with my values. As I create Together Tuesdays, ensuring this alignment is top of mind. 

My personal values, interests, and abilities, aligning for Together Tuesdays


If any of this resonates with you, please join me in creating Together Tuesdays! This community is not for people who simply want to get out of the house and sit on a comfy couch; it is an intentional, participation based creator community. I am hoping that people of diverse professions, talents, and interests will help to build this community, to learn from each other, and most of all, to inspire each other to be our best selves. 

To recap: 
  • Together Tuesdays offers an intentional co-creation and community space 
  • Doors open at 8am on Tuesdays starting March 29th 
  • Driveway and street parking readily available 
  • The physical space has a few different areas and amenities: 
    • Silent work table 
    • Quiet couch zone
    • Roof deck lounge area
    • Pool deck loungers
    • Creativity corner with art supplies
    • Not-a-conference room with HDTV, 2-seat loveseat
    • Access to kitchen with coffee/espresso, tea, fruit, snacks, microwave, fridge
    • Strong WiFi (no reception - turn on WiFi calling for conference calls) 
  • Yoga, meditation, or other group offering at sunset daily (please let me know if you would like to lead a session on something!) 
  • Capacity is limited to 8 (for now) - please RSVP by noon on Mondays to ensure that there is enough space for everyone who wants to come 
  • Communicate with Allison in advance if you'd like to bring a guest(s)

SSSEx: Sexual, Spiritual, Shamanic Experience

I feel embodied, present, and POWERFUL.  I went to the International School of Temple Arts (ISTA) with the intention of grounding into my own power and learning how to channel that power for the world. I left knowing that the source of my power is in my truth and the ability to discern between what is my responsibility and what is not - particularly in owning my yes's and no's.  I've struggled with patterns of dissociation, avoidance, and people pleasing for most of my life. My parents taught me that the "right" way to occupy space was to be of service to others, and that it was otherwise invalid to take up too much air.  When I was 21, I needed surgery to remove a (ultimately benign) tumor. In the email notifying my manager that I needed a week off, I apologized for "not being strong enough." ...as if it was a personal failing that I couldn't make a tumor disappear through sheer force of will. I used to accept elbows to the spleen rather than voice ...

Truth, Love, and Beauty

In a previous blog post , I compared the pursuit of truth to that of immortality, with love offering the reason for it all.  I have also come to terms with how deeply I feel moved by beauty, particularly nature. I realized that I've been trying to figure out the meaning of life and all of that when it's been in front of me and simple this entire time. I resisted beauty for a long time because it felt superficial. How could I justify treating something or someone differently just because it was beautiful? But beauty is inescapable, just as suffering is inescapable. Both have the capacity to move us, deeply. And if I could choose just one thing to preserve from this universe, it would be beauty. So when I finally realized that there was nothing "wrong" with me for craving beauty, it hit me. That's what life is about. Life is about truth, love, and beauty.  Once I had that thought in my mind, I realized that I've heard this before... and not just me, but pretty m...

Nomad'ing east to west and south to north

Thursday, March 12, 2020 is a day that my life completely changed.  NYC was about to hit its 100th case of COVID-19, and there were rumors of a severe lockdown starting that weekend. Miles and I started the day by acquiring staples: 25lb of rice, 20lb of chicken, and other canned goods. I spent the day working (we were all already working from home at this point) from my cofounder's apartment. By mid afternoon, the situation had deteriorated into what felt like panic: the line for the grocery store wrapped around the block, and we felt that any COVID-related restrictions would be lengthy. We believed that life wouldn't be normal again until a vaccine was developed.  So, we made a decision. We booked a one-way flight to Portland, Oregon to plan our next steps.  The idea was to go to my parents' house and stay outside NYC in case the city was quarantined. We only stayed in Portland for two evenings, long enough to pack camping gear and toilet paper into my sister's old ca...
