Hi, I’m Mackenzie

For years I kept trying to fit myself into practices that promised relief. A “lost decade” to chronic illness in my twenties pulled me into meditation, mind‑body self-help, and seeking a way out of suffering. I never quite found home in any tradition, and I found plenty of ways to pour more pressure on myself.

Relief gradually dawned as I found ways of understanding, perceiving, and living that weren’t about trying. More a quiet recognition that we’re always being with being, anyway. That it’s indescribably rich and unbelievably simple.

At Princeton, studying History of Science, I met physicist and Tai Chi Master Dr. Wonchull Park, whose work bridges physics and lived experience. His approach gave me a rational basis for getting traction on ways I don’t have to try — a kind of grace that didn’t require anybody’s say‑so. We’ve been collaborating ever since.

That collaboration has grown into research in philosophy of science and the practice work you’ll find here — for anyone looking to explore beyond the pressures we put on ourselves. Not ways to follow, but ways that might help you find your own.

💛 Mackenzie
