A creative practice space for people doing cultural architecture work in their own lives

YOU'RE IN LIMINAL SPACE

The story you've been living no longer fits. You can feel it in the gaps, between who you were and who you're becoming, between the work you used to do and the work you're being called toward, between the future you planned and the one that's actually emerging.

You don't need therapy. You need a studio. A place to practice being with disorientation without rushing toward resolution. A community of people who understand that the most important work happens in the uncertain middle.

WHAT YOU GET

Monthly Studio Gatherings (90 minutes, live via Zoom)
We explore futuring practices, chronotopic awareness, and compositional techniques for navigating transitions. These aren't classes—they're working sessions. Bring what you're building. Expect to be challenged.

Practice Prompts & Studio Assignments
Between gatherings, you'll receive practices designed to help you develop temporal literacy, recognize narrative patterns, and build the imaginative infrastructure needed for the life you're actually trying to live.

Access to the Studio Archive
Full access to recorded Dangerous Stories Labs, Storyfield sessions, and workshop materials. This is years of work on futuring, chronotopes, and cultural architecture—available when you need it.

Studio Community
A private space for ongoing conversation with other members. This isn't a support group. It's a peer learning community for people doing serious compositional work.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Most personal development treats you as a problem to solve. Most coaching offers techniques to optimize yourself. The Studio Membership operates from a different premise: you're not broken, you're between stories.

This work draws from Michael White's theory of liminal space, Bakhtin's chronotopes, and contemporary futuring practices. It's grounded in narrative therapy but goes beyond the consulting room to help you become an architect of your own cultural conditions.

WHO THIS IS FOR

  • Therapists and coaches who want to integrate futuring and cultural architecture into their practice

  • Leaders navigating organizational transitions who need more than strategic planning

  • Creatives and cultural workers building new forms of practice

  • Anyone in a life transition who refuses pat answers and quick fixes

  • People who read theory, think in systems, and value intellectual rigor

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

If you want a community that will tell you everything will be okay, this isn't it. If you're looking for strategies to get back to "normal," look elsewhere. The Studio is for people who understand that some thresholds can't be crossed backward.

“I have known Dr. Chris Hoff, LMFT for several years and have found great comfort within his personal and professional mentoring. Dr. Hoff has a way of listening to you with grace and care, which allows you the opportunity to witness the practice of mindfulness being brought into each moment with compassion and wisdom. Dr. Hoff has inspired me in many ways, but his Creative Living Workshop helped me most recently by providing the motivation needed to bring the “creative” tools back into my business and community, Open Door Pomona. I have seen growth in my ability to create an exciting and original business plan which has impacted my community in a positive and inspiring way. I would recommend working with Dr. Hoff if you are looking for an inspiring, supportive, and professional doctor that will provide the tools needed to improve your personal and professional life.”
