ABOUT ME

Mariel is a lecturer and fellow at Stanford's Life Design Lab, where she creates modules for and teaches the legendary Design Your Life and brand-new Design Your Spiritual Life classes.

She is devoted to designing the future of interfaith and non-denominational spiritual communities, and creating technologies and experiences that deepen (not replace) our embodied wisdom.

Outside of the Life Design Lab, she designs and guides communal rituals, coaches seekers through sabbaticals and career pivots, teaches playfighting, runs experiments in communal living, and facilitates immersive workshops.

Above all else, she is an alchemist, storyteller, and agent of benevolent mischief.
