Hey, friend! First, thank you for landing on fonder studio, when you could be anywhere else.
Every week, I hear your stories, where you’re at, from journeys of belonging to unbelonging, from connection to disconnection, and, most of all, from moments of rest to endlessly busy lives. The mindless chatter never ends. Noise, whatever the color, envelopes us from our sides, and we are left with chaos. Clutter. Confusion. Constant distraction. Constant stimulation.
Is this the noise of our soul? Better yet, ask yourself these questions (shout out to Adi Redzic for this):
Do you keep doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result?
Can you catch yourself convincing yourself of your old path and shutting down new ideas?
Do you find yourself feeling misunderstood or not even understanding yourself?
Do you feel like you’re both a found and a lost soul at the same time?
Are your thoughts, actions, words, and emotions inconsistent?
Is your life great on paper, but you have this feeling that something is slightly off? (Stop yourself from rationalizing what's off.)
In the age of the attention economy, I fully believe what we need is not more, but less. But strip all those things away from our lives - material objects, relationships, notifications - and what are we left with?
Nothing? Silence? Fear? Uncertainty? Anxiety?
Whatever the case may be, that is what we truly face when we go to sleep every day. (Unless you don’t sleep… which is a different issue.)
What now?
We need an oasis.
oasis /əʊˈeɪsɪs/
noun 1. a fertile spot in a desert, where water is found.
Bunker hour is here for that. Together, in an experience of live conversation & response, guided with curated prompts and questions, we will enter a space of oasis and leave having created our own, wherever we are in the world today. For the introverts on screen, it’s camera-optional, 60% will be me guiding you; and 40% will be interaction with others. I will be facilitating your experience, helping you navigate the noise of our busy lives, the clutter of our minds, and learning how to be present, together.
At the end, your soul will be refreshed. This is your chance for an emotional reset. You’ll learn what it means to cultivate yourself and your lifestyle to give more life to yourself, and thus, to other people, and the world.
In short, bunker hour is structured, curated time, for unstructured ideas and conversation. Come along, join the conversation, and create something new in your life that no person, place, or institution, could ever take away.
I’m stoked. Are you? See details below.

This is session is free*, designed to accommodate you wherever you are,

If you're finding some value in my work, consider supporting it with a donation. Thank you in advance for choosing to be here when you can be anywhere else, and for valuing my work. It means the world, and I do this for people like you. Two ways you can financially support this work:
Patreon (my favorite)
Patreon provides the best perks: I don’t have social media, so here I provide exclusive updates, early accesses, and bonus content weekly. About the recurring fee… You don’t need to keep your membership forever. Just pay by joining for a month, and leave after! That still works.
Buy me a coffee (I will do anything for coffee).
A one time fee, and you can buy me as many coffees as you want!
