THE CONVERSATION:
ABOUT HAYMITCH:
Haymitch St. Stephen is an artist, writer, and contemplative. He studied advertising and creative writing at BYU before launching a storytelling company and eventually studying the creative process at Stanford. He is an adjunct facilitator in the Stanford Life Design Lab. He studies under contemplative teachers Thomas McConkie and John Kessler, and is a graduate of the Spectra program via Lower Lights School of Wisdom. But he is mostly just a human being trying to enjoy life to the fullest. He is the author of the book Friend of the Devil: A Story of Mental Health, Mistakes, and Self Forgiveness, and the founder of Still Point School of Mystical Design through which he supports people asking the question: What should I do with my life? You can find more of his work at stillpoint.life

I’m delighted those who can’t attend in person can join virtually. I’m sorry I can’t give you the same care and attention given to those in person. Please contact me if you have suggestions for improvement.
- Click on the Zoom link above for either last month’s recorded conversation (if the event date has passed) or the live conversation now. If you are participating in the live conversation keep reading.
- When you are connected you will either be waiting in a lobby and will let be in shortly or you will immediately be able to see other participants. Please make sure that you are muted and that your video is on if you choose to have it on. (Love to see and hear you live, but we’ll take curious lurkers also.)
- If you can’t hear the host, me, or others, find your settings and make sure you have a working microphone and speaker selected. OR maybe the problem is on my end so please let me know if it is.
ZOOM ETIQUETTE:
- Please mute your microphone before entering and when you are not speaking so noises are not heard by everyone else.
- If you are going to multitask—not recommended—or wander around a lot, please turn off your video and make sure you are muted. No one wants to be distracted by you eating or using the loo.
