Hi! I'm Silver
I am a neurodivergent and invisibly disabled autodidact.
One (of many) navigating an increasingly unkind landscape for folks with disadvantages, working to create a financially and ecologically sustainable, not to mention kind and joyful, way of life while helping others, too.
I worked as a coach for seven years, supporting neurodivergent, gifted, twice- and multi-exceptional clients. I closed my business in 2024 to explore more resonant (to me) models of serving others and being self-employed.
I am currently writing a little book about alignment. My contribution, inspired by consciousness-based systems change, to:
- Living in flow with uncertainty, and
- Sensing how we can best make a difference, by
- Attuning to the broader system of which we are all a part.
Aside from that, I think and write about:
- Surviving the darknesses of our time,
- Insisting on hope, compassion and agency, and
- Contributing to a better future for all, especially while living with
- Intersectional disadvantages and lack of privilege.
I stand for ecological humanism, pluralism, equity, inclusion. I stand against dehumanisation, prejudice, oppression and exploitation in any form.
My thinking, writing and work are inspired by Anthony de Mello, Starhawk, Otto Scharmer, Julia Cameron, Daniel Siegel, Hiro Boga, Richard Schwartz, Donna Haraway, Harrison Owen, Jenny Odell, Milton Bennett, Cory Doctorow, to name but a few.

Show your work as you go along because we are all amateurs just trying to figure things out. This means that you are open and public about what you are working on and what you are figuring out.
