The Riff Space™

When sacred and irreverent collide:

One of my favourite places to be is at the intersection of the irreverent and the sacred. I love diving into the deep things of life, and I love splashing around in the shallows. I take seriously the business of living with purpose, while acknowledging that I had better be having fun doing it. And when I can do all of this with other people? Be still my heart.

For the past year, I have been meeting with two loving and brilliant coaches, Amy Steindler and Leah Pellegrini (meet them below), in just such a space. We regularly jump on a zoom call, and we invite our challenges, triumphs, and curiosities to join us there. We represent a mix of ages, as well as stages in our coaching careers. We learn from each other (we frequently nerd out in the realms of neuroscience and spirituality). We inspire, coach, and gently challenge each other. We laugh, we cry (mostly me), we cuss (also mostly me), we bond. We easily spot the brilliance in each other when we don’t always spot it in ourselves.

I can tell you this: my life (both personally and professionally) has gotten better because of the time I have spent in this space, with these humans.

And for the first time, we are opening the doors of The Riff Space™—this irreverent and sacred community of practice—to the public. 

The Riff Space™ might be for you if:

~ you are a coach, creative entrepreneur, heart-centred leader, or service-oriented human

~ you could use a nudge, whether professionally or personally 

~ you crave a safe space to work out your big ideas

~ you long for creative collaboration

~ you would like to get out of your own damn way and go for it already

The details:

For four months, we will meet bi-weekly (every second Tuesday at 6:00 pm EST, beginning January 25, 2022). The first meeting of the month will be centered around a specific learning theme. The second meeting will be an Open Riff—a place for you to practice what you have learned, and an opportunity for you to bring your challenges, ideas, and questions to the group.

Because we want to give you plenty of personalized attention, we are limiting The Riff Space™ to nine participants. Over the course of the program, you will have the opportunity to experience the unique perspectives of the three of us. When we move into breakouts, you’ll be facilitated and coached by a different one of us each time, with only two other participants.

The Riff Space™ is committed to bringing a broad range of perspectives to these conversations, with the intentional inclusion of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and economically disadvantaged participants.

The four-month pilot program will launch for US$175 per month. All fees come with a satisfaction guarantee—if your expectations aren’t met or exceeded by the halfway point, your investment will be refunded in full.

Listen. We get it. Life can be hard. Discovering a deep sense of purpose can take time. Doing meaningful work while trying to pay the bills can be...well, kinda gross. The good news? You're not alone. We've been there. And we're better together. If you could use a big boost, we've got you. Come riff with us!

We believe in paying it forward. $25 of your monthly fee goes toward sponsoring a scholarship for someone whose economic situation shouldn’t stand in the way of their learning, growth, and income potential. If you’d like to have a bigger impact, you can add to your monthly payment and 100% of that additional amount will go toward funding scholarships.
