The Wandering Flame Project : Luminary Gala - 2026

​The Wandering Flame Project is a one-year social experiment where several copies of my book, If/Then: A Neurodivergent Rulebook, were sent out into the wild in November of 2025, starting in Seattle, Washington.

​Each one became a ‘Wandering Flame’, a collective story, facilitated by luck and serendipity that formed a living project of shared wisdom and insights.

​Found copies in the wild give the finder the rare and sacred opportunity to become an #IfThenLuminary by adding something to the book - a sketch, an if/then shard, a rule, a poem, a story, an artifact.

​This Luminary Gala represents the conclusion of the project. All Luminaries are invited and the traveling books will be returned to me (hopefully!). Those who followed along with the story are invited to attend as well!

​After the Gala, I’m going to compile these Wandering Flames into VERY special collector’s editions🔥: every note, drawing, and relic gathered in each book will be photographed, transcribed, and copied into a new edition that will be available for purchase… a collection of how far the flame has traveled and what or who it has illuminated.
