Field of Becoming, 2025

The system has a name and an architecture. Lyric Metaphysics is its foundation — a relational ontology in which Becoming, not static being, is the ground of reality, and in which the Between, the space of genuine encounter, is not empty but generative. Enfielded Cognition, currently under peer review at Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, extends that foundation into philosophy of mind, arguing that cognition is shaped not merely by environment but by the dynamic relational fields minds inhabit. Significology proposes a new philosophical axis — the systematic study of mattering, of why some encounters and ideas register as significant while others pass without trace. And from all of this, a philosophy of education: what it means to teach beings whose minds are fundamentally relational, whose growth depends not on the delivery of content but on the quality of contact.

These are not separate projects. They are one architecture.

That architecture — the corpus, the frameworks, the consulting and educational offerings built from it — lives at The Lyric Institute, which she founded in 2025.

She writes two Substack publications. Mind at Large follows the philosophical project into public territory: essays on mind, meaning, and the edges of what we understand. Pedagogress asks what education actually is, and what gets lost when we mistake its current form for its only possible form. Her work has appeared in Education Week and Presence.

She has spent twenty years teaching in schools. She lives in the Boston area.

If something here calls to you — for consulting, collaboration, speaking, or conversation — she would be glad to hear from you.
