KinMakers don’t Retreat, We Return.

Begin your ancestral remembering journey.

KinMaker Returns are immersive experiences—individual and collective—designed to heal the wounds beneath wealth and restore our innate capacity to receive, belong, and circulate abundance in life-affirming ways.

Through body-based, land-based, kin-based, and reflective practices, participants recover stories of strength and perseverance alongside grief, rupture, and separation. This is not a financial program. It is a human repair process that profoundly reshapes how money, power, and responsibility are held.

KinMakers is for you if…

Money feels charged, heavy, or strangely disconnected from meaning in your life.

You a wealth holder, inheritor, philanthropist, or founder who senses it’s time to move into a deeper form of stewardship.

You work with capital as an advisor, facilitator, or leader and feel a growing gap between your inner life and your outer responsibilities.

Despite outward success, find yourself not fully settled, nourished in your relational place in the world.

Braiding three strands of expertise

  • Embodied receiving practices, belly-body attunement, ancestral inquiry, and kinship-based sensemaking

  • Redefining value as a sound collective, shared risk and deep nourishment. Creating a value creation STREAM plan for your individual, family or business purposes.

  • Translate inner and collective shifts into your own money behaviors including Kinship capital flows, fund governance, adaptive learning, regenerative finance innovations, and progressive stewardship.

“The measure of our compassion lies not in our service of those on the margins, but in our willingness to see ourselves in kinship. And so… movement towards awe, and giant steps away from judgment.”
