Undefined

A space for seeing the same life, differently. A space that is constant in its change.

In a society where mental health seems too often to mean "fixing yourself" and selling you solutions, we are striving to create a sustainable alternative that does justice to the majesty that is your life.

Join the Unfolding

Started by ordinary, broken people who could just as easily be described as irreplicable and whole, Undefined is an experiment in creating space for complexity. We're not therapists, not coaches, not gurus. We're people exhausted by the pressure to "fix" ourselves when sometimes the problem is the world around us, or when sometimes there is no problem at all. We are here for the often uncomfortable reality of existing.

We're actively questioning: The power dynamics and economic structure of therapy. The hidden goal-orientation of meditation. The individualization of collective problems. The equation of mental health with productivity and happiness.

What we're trying right now

These are experiments, not programs. The structure will change based on what we learn. You're not signing up for a service; you're participating in building something that doesn't exist yet.

Small Group Sessions

What: Small groups (e.g., ~5 people) meeting weekly by video. What happens will emerge from the group itself, but to begin with we're encouraging: examining the possibility that your emotions are adaptive; speaking contradictions and multiple perspectives out loud; being witnessed without advice or fixing; examining the format itself as we go.

Starting format: 60 minutes. Each person gets time to speak to what is relevant to them and be heard without attempts for resolution. No one responds with advice. The last 15 minutes: we look at the session itself. What worked? What assumptions are we making? What can we change going forward?

Commitment: Try one session. If it feels worth continuing, commit to 3 more. Then decide as a group.

Unstructured Time Together

What: Scheduled video sessions where nothing is supposed to happen. Not meditation, not therapy, not productivity. Just... time, shared with others, with no goal.

Format: 30-45 minutes. Cameras optional. No talking. No one leading. Multiple time slots per week. Drop in, drop out whenever.

Commitment: None.

Organizing Space

What: Because sometimes problems aren't just of your own invent, but involve your environment. An asynchronous forum for thoughtful (rather than reactive) collective action.

Format: Connect with others organizing to create the change that honors your feelings, emotions, and experiences. Share resources, coordinate actions, build power together.

Commitment: Whatever you have capacity for. This is the least defined experiment and will be shaped by participants.

What to expect

On payment

Unlike most existing offerings, we actively question the implicit value assumptions built into payment models, and we're committed to avoiding the implicit power dynamics that come with traditional payment arrangements. Initial sessions will be free. After that, we'll experiment with what a sustainable payment model could look like (e.g., sliding scale (including $0), membership / co-ownership models, creating something else altogether). Early participants will help figure this out.

On commitment

Small groups ask for trying 4 sessions before deciding. Everything else is drop-in. You can leave at any time. This is an experiment. Some things will work, some won't. Opting out is fine.

On who this is for

If you're in acute and immediate crisis, this isn't the right space as we don't have clinical capabilities. Please reach out to a crisis line or therapist. If you're looking for expert guidance, proven outcomes, or clear answers, this also isn't it. But if you're exhausted by wellness culture, holding contradictions, suspecting your environment is the problem, or interested in building something that doesn't exist yet, then this is your thing.

On what this becomes

We'll document what we're learning publicly. We'll revise the structure every quarter based on your feedback. What you're signing up for today might look different in three months. That's the point.
