Field Notes
Field research into ancient traditions still alive, and the communities, old and emerging, that keep learning by living: villages, artisans, schools that teach differently. On my own and with my children.

Listening to elders, to children, and to the silence between — and writing down what they leave behind.
This is where the writing lives — the field notes, the reflections, the books, and the voices that read them aloud.

Read the field notes →Writings born from inner experience and the observation of life, a space where meaning unfolds beyond words. Two voices meet here: Lily Am Or, the inner room where I listen to the invisible, and Entre Nós, where my voices enter into conversation.
Read on Substack →A collection of tales that invite children to imagine, to make, and to discover the courage to bring an idea into the world. Written to be read aloud, together.
Read the books →The stories, spoken aloud by the young readers they were written for. Shared inside the membership, where the writing first comes to life as sound.

For more than fifteen years I have studied ancient living cultures and the way human beings grow — listening to those who came before, and to the children arriving now.
I write through experience: tales for children, reflections for the adults who walk beside them. Both come from the same belief — that we learn by living, and that what matters is often found in the spaces between.
Originally from Brazil, I have made my home in many parts of the world, and I keep writing, reflecting, and listening for what comes next.
