Pluto’s Next Chapter is Taking Shape

It’s been a couple of weeks since Field[Ship], our first expression of Pluto in the world, and I’m still integrating everything that morning stirred up. It reminded me what it feels like to be in a space that’s alive, where music, breath, movement, and connection ripple through every corner.

And now, we’re taking the next step: giving Pluto a home.

🛠 The Build-Out Begins

After months of prototyping, Pluto is becoming physical. We’ve selected our location and are now in the early stages of shaping the environment that will hold this vision.

This week, I met with the landlord and broker to walk the space. I toured it with fresh eyes, asking:

• What kind of energy do we want each corner to hold?

• How do we balance focus with flow, spaciousness with warmth?

Now we’re exploring space design as a team and collective to turn over all the nuances of this kind of build. Not just laying out furniture and lighting, but someone who understands that Pluto is a co-working temple, a playground for aligned minds, and a community hub all in one. It’s a place to be who you actually are.

We’re being intentional. Every inch matters. From the way light enters the room, to the flow of movement between solo work and serendipitous connection. This is not just another co-working space. It’s a place where people come to build with soul.

We’re mapping build-out phases accordingly, with modularity in mind. Some parts will launch quickly. Others will evolve with us. But the north star is clear: this space should inspire creative action, facilitate human flourishing, and feel like a second nervous system for anyone who enters.

Business Feature: Upper Room Toronto (Coming soon to Oakville)

A few days ago, Chelsea and I had the chance to visit Upper Room, and it was nothing short of exceptional.

For those unfamiliar, Upper Room is a longevity-focused wellness clinic offering a range of forward-thinking treatments. Think ozone therapy, biohacking, advanced recovery, and performance optimization, without the sterile, transactional vibe you often get in medical-wellness spaces.

We were welcomed with generosity and genuine presence. Chelsea experienced the HOCATT, a powerful detox and oxygen treatment. I opted for the P-Shot, a regenerative therapy I’ve been researching for a while and let’s just say I’m glad I finally experienced it firsthand.

What stood out most was the quality of care. There was no pressure, no upsell, no ego. Just a team of people genuinely invested in your well-being and willing to share what they know with humility and heart. That’s rare.

I’ll be doing a deeper write-up soon, but if you’re in Toronto and exploring ways to elevate your vitality, I can confidently recommend paying them a visit. A lot of folks are talking about biohacking, but Upper Room is walking it better than any place I have visited! I will be going back for a Hocatt after I return from Shambhala next week for a full detox and reset to get back into high-gear for the continuation of this Pluto build.

Event Review - All Day I Dream

Not your conventional event review - but this past weekend a bunch of us went to the iconic All Day I Dream event at Fort York and had a chance to dance, play and party our faces off on one of the most perfect days of the summer.

Electronic music, immaculate vibes and the best of friends gathered under the sun again dancing and celebrating all that is life.

I am reminded how previous each moment is that I get to live in celebration of life through dancing and playing and my ongoing love for music. Toronto feels like it is really blossoming with more and more sonic experiences that bring it and it’s people to life - with parties like Electric Island and other outdoor parties still on the calendar this summer, I implore you to get out there and get your dance on!
