THE DOPENESS DICTIONARY 2.0
A Field Guide for Practicing and Guiding Transformation
A living practice system for people who want to become more free,
and for people who guide transformation.
How do we become free enough to live what is truest in us
and make our greatest contribution?
I’ve spent the last several months rebuilding The Dopeness Dictionary from the inside out.
What began as a workbook for personal reflection is becoming a field guide and curriculum for practicing and guiding transformation.
At its heart is a simple movement:
Remember what you carry.
Practice your way into freedom.
Make your greatest contribution.
52 Inner + Outer principles for the practice of transformation.
The new edition expands into 52 principles -- from Attention and Attunement to Repair, Stewardship, Worldbuilding, Yield, and Ancestors -- designed to move insight off the page and into bodies, relationships, rooms, and culture.

Why support now?
Your support helps fund the first print run of approximately 500 copies and the continued development of the curriculum and practice tools growing around the book.
The first production run requires real capital now; Founding Circle support helps move the book from finished design into people’s hands.
This is about helping build a living body of work for people committed to practicing - and guiding - transformation with greater precision, responsibility, and imagination.
