About Light Hive

Welcome to Light Hive, where engaged mindfulness meets identity and the polycrisis. I'm Logan (they/them) and I help people navigate identity and uncertainty with compassionate care.

I hold an MA and PhD in performance studies, a perspective I apply here to discuss identity, action, and meaning making. I have a city commendation for my crisis work with sexual assault survivors. My identities shift—like I’m sure yours do, too—so here’s my first post/bio.

Overall, the Light Hive newsletter explores how mindfulness can serve as a tool for both personal and social transformation. My approach integrates:

  • Engaged Mindfulness: Practices grounded in Buddhist philosophy, adapted for modern life and social engagement.

  • Identity-Conscious Practices: A welcoming and affirming space for individuals to engage their identifications, with a particular focus on transracial adoptees, LGBTQ+ folks, and those navigating change.

  • Creative Play as Serious Practice: Exploring the power of creativity to unlock imagination, foster connection, and feel at home in one’s own body.

  • Tools for Navigating Systemic Challenges: Developing agency in the face of social and political complexities.

  • Community Care in Uncertain Times: Building networks and fostering collective well-being.

Adoptee Alchemy

Adoptee Alchemy is a monthly “sit and share” group open to adoptees only.

Feedback includes:

"The language was adoptee friendly, and helped lift the congestion that is usually stuck. I wish I'd have learned to meditate with Logan to begin with."

The Creative Coalition

The Creative Coalition is a monthly “mindful play” group.

Feedback includes:

“I've participated in several role-playing games that Logan has facilitated, including i’m sorry did you say street magic! I had never done any role-play before this year, and I definitely felt the anxieties of "am I doing it right?" and "am I fitting in?". Logan creates such a welcoming space as a facilitator in which to explore role-playing, even for me as a complete newbie. To me, role-playing is a really unique kind of mindfulness practice - I get to thoughtfully help create new stories in a world that we as a group build up piece by piece. Thank you for your gentle and skillful facilitation, Logan!!”
