What does Light Hive do?

I work with groups experiencing relational breakdown — burnout, unresolved conflict, unclear accountability, fragile collaboration. And I help build the structures that prevent those things from taking root in the first place.

Is this therapy, counseling, or crisis intervention?

No. This work is facilitation, not clinical care. Participants are encouraged to maintain external therapeutic or crisis support alongside this work.

Is this work politically neutral?

Justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and accessibility grounds my offerings and personal worldview. Groups expecting ideological neutrality may not be a good fit.

What outcomes can you reasonably expect?

This work supports capacity, not control. Any outcome will be dependent upon ongoing practice.

What if conflict intensifies during the work?

That's often a sign something real is being touched. Surfacing conflict frequently precedes repair. All sessions operate under an open-door policy — if you need to step back and take care of yourself, do it.

Generative conflict—a kind that moves toward equitable resolution—is the chrysalis through which relationships move to understand its constituent parts better. Generative conflict can occur when we slow down with intention to care.

Do you work with remote/virtual groups?

Yes. Most work happens via Zoom for accessibility. In-person facilitation is available to LA-based groups by request, at a higher fee.

What’s with the “spiritual” stuff? How Buddhist is this?

My 20-year dharma practice shapes how I see relationships, impermanence, and accountability. But I don't require participants to adopt Buddhist language or frameworks. Group work is grounded in social science and lived implementation. 1:1 spiritual guidance is explicitly dharma-informed — that's the one space where it's front and center.
