Lightning Society
A loft, a community, a stage
For nearly seven years I helped build Lightning Society, a highly curated home and gathering space in Brooklyn. We lived together, hosted thinkers and makers, and threw nights that people still talk about. It was where I learned that the right room can change the course of a life.
01 / What it was
Collaborative living with a stage
Highly curated collaborative living with event space. Focused on a balance of thought leadership, healthy living, and community building.
I co-founded it and ran it from September 2016 to June 2023. More than a place to live, it was a deliberate experiment in how community, creativity, and wellbeing reinforce one another when you put them under one roof.

The nights
Burlesquerade was our signature event: costume, performance, music, and a room full of people who showed up fully. These are a few of the nights, captured on film.
