Bibeault Brain science can change federal law. I wrote the amicus brief filed in Cintron v. Bibeault by Judge Nancy Gertner, Dr. Judy Edersheim and Daniel Greenfield, J.D. The decision in this case marks the first time the First Circuit has held that solitary confinement is unconstitutional. It links the well-documented harms of social, sensory and sleep deprivation to Eight Amendment violations and further establishes personal liability of prison officials when they continue to confine an inmate in extreme isolation. Sleep neuroscience was quoted in the Court’s decision. Make your science matter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1772518001885-WLLT6Z74W8UWPHD6IXSH/doitscience.png Wholes - Do It: Science Hans Ulrich Obrist and I are writing a book together, Do It: Science. Science, like art, is all too often stuck within the confines of a frame. Individual authorship and static models of sharing via papers can isolate scientific knowledge. Who is teaching us to be with science – not as a passive public receiving science, but as active participants? We work with 50 wonderful scientists to turn their research papers into recipes, so that anyone can experiment at anytime. Dr Mahzarin Banaji, Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, Dr. Sidarta Ribeiro and more have contributed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1771885796212-Q1I3LJA7P9QAA2Z9MLQB/2.2B_LUP_10-28-25_11.jpg Wholes - Communal Dreams Hotel Room #2: Communal Dreams transforms the MIT Museum into a living dream laboratory. Created by artist Carsten Höller, dream scientist Adam Haar, and MIT Museum Studio director Seth Riskin, the installation invites 3 participants at a time to fall asleep inside a sculptural environment where pulses of light, sound, and motion guide their dreams. The piece turns sleep itself into an artwork — a shared theater of the mind where perception extends beyond waking life.

Our amicus brief argues extended solitary confinement can likely cause physical brain damage. In their decision on Perry v. Spencer, the First Circuit identified a “presumption” that 30 days in solitary confinement amounts to an atypical and significant hardship requiring meaningful procedural protections. Prior to this holding, the Second Circuit held that periods of solitary approaching one year are presumptively atypical and significant..

The work uses hyperscanning to record brain activity from several participants simultaneously. The resulting hologram is a visual manifestation of multiple brains communicating, without language, through shared neural dynamics. Work by Agnieszka Kurant in collabroation with neuroscientists Adam Horowitz, Antoine Bellemare, and Philipp Thölke.

An experiment with Dr. Félix Schoeller suggests we can induce synthetic chills, intensify organic ones, and recreate downstream cognitive effects of chills including empathy, pleasure and depression reduction. Research presented at IEEE EMBC, and see a paper here and here. Just got another accepted in Nature Sci Rep, and a $180k grant from Joy Ventures for future work. Félix is now using the device to aid shifts in depression symptoms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1661800954315-W7M9WBUYSE573MVE2WMX/image-asset.png Wholes - White Paper As part of my work with the Center for Law, Brain and Behavior I was invited to contribute to and review this White Paper, which aims to help legal actors understand brain development in adolescents. Thus far, it is being used or will be used in trial/appellate cases or legislative reform initiatives in 11 states. Recently, it was used to help extend diversionary programs to age 25 in Suffolk County.

(Levinson et al. 2014). We took this as inspiration for translational neuroscience of mindfulness! We built Respite, a mobile app which integrates the elements of the Davidson paper into an iOS app, including 1) breath tracking 2) breath training 3) mindfulness trait assessment MAAS 4) habit forming assessment SRHI 5) integrated scientific explanations. We hope this tool can help people have a clearer picture of their practice and how it changes with time. Colab with Tomás Vega, the GOAT. More here.

Gab Lab tackles questions at once large and small, probing experience and mechanism concurrently at Marr's many levels of analysis. This means we can ask questions about the slippery stuff. I'm part of an ongoing fMRI project with Dr. Clemens Bauer and Dr. Maiya Geddes on the science of self-awareness and it's ties to attention and apathy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1524252911351-NTDLATQDHS86EOIT5IL6/Screenshot+2018-04-20+15.24.45.png Wholes - Sneeze Detector An AI listening with pure benevolent intent. A wearable benediction, a computed absolution. Make sure your sneeze never goes unblessed. Instead, #StayBlessed. Built with Ishaan Grover for Harvard metaLAB openLAB. Image from Tang et al 2013. Daily we hand over human connection to technical mediation. We hope it hears our pleas, we hope it blesses our sneeze. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1547529040751-2X7L38R6AQ0EUSOJ7EUJ/Dormio+App+Screen.png Wholes - Dormio App Working with the awesome Eyal Perry and Matthew Ha to make an automated Dormio app for hypnagogic dream induction with a smartphone, complete with dream report audio recording, speech detection, movement sensing, sleep staging and a data analysis pipeline.

We skip the unpredictability of the aesthetics and instead induce the art experience directly with emotional induction techniques from brain science. We are, after all, quantified selves, measured and measuring. Affect and aura are not immune to mechanical reproduction. Piece commissioned by the Boston MFA. Friends made it with me: Nicole, Ani, Xin, Gershon, Rebecca, Akito, Sands, and Rainar, from across myriad MIT laboratories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1481419340996-AIUK7ZSDFCZXY0NHMLQO/static1.squarespace.jpg Wholes - MIT Hacking Arts I'm the Creative Lead for MIT Hacking Arts, a collective of engineers , entrepreneurs and techies who create projects and spaces for tech and art to intersect.

We offer an interface for Hypnagogia, specifically dreams at sleep onset, using a Jibo social robot, an EEG, muscular sleep stage tracking and auditory biofeedback. We are able to influence, extract information from, and extend hypnagogic dreams for the first time: We further found that active control of hypnagogic dreams with the system can augment human creativity.

The Hotmilks came together to build Internet Incarnate. As per Murakami's model, we surveilled millennial trends and optimized artwork accordingly: Give them what they want. A breathing 7ft cat, 2 robocats, beanie baby sacrifice, chimera construction, 2 cat goddesses and a soundtrack of Bernie Sanders populist meowing. Multiple questions of "is this the art?" spurred us onwards throughout the night. Rébecca, Akito, Sands, Xin, Gershon and Pip all came together to make it (un)real. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1472760454483-5UNXGR3NRQ418XMJ4PEQ/Screenshot+2016-08-13+14.18.33.png Wholes - Neuroscience of Mindfulness, Meditation and Mind-Wandering I'm part of an ongoing project at MIT's Gabrieli Lab studying the brain mechanisms of mindfulness, meditation and mind-wandering. I run functional connectivity data acquisition and behavioral data analytics. Super cool because there are immediate, broad implications for education and wellness. Meditation is cheap, effective, easy to distribute, proven...and poorly understood. The Gab Lab is already exploring meditation-based interventions in a collaboration with Harvard's GSE and Boston-area charter schools https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1532026768237-J4NEXC2KVB26PJNJDL2I/Museum+Sleep-1.jpg Wholes - Painted Dreams Experience creation can function as experience investigation. I partnered with artists Nicholas Shaplyko and Ekaterina Sorokina at the Museum of Modern Renaissance, two painters who work with dream visuals, to translate my lab work on dreams into an immersive art context for specifically inducing and producing sights in sleep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518392214017-S4TY5JLXR0F6KJ05BFZ0/miss3.jpg Wholes - EAT Caroline Hermans, Hisham Bedri, Gabe Fields and Wiley Corning built my favorite project from this year's MIT Hacking Arts. It's at once absurd and probing. VR prioritizes vision, and so does our body--to the point where proprioception is hackable, and you can make people hit their faces with grapes. Read more here. I have too much fun as the Creative Lead of Hacking Arts.

This one Summit had 50-law schools, opening Harvard Law wide and bringing new young voices into the national conversation on food justice. I managed design for the summit--event, graphic, content, space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1517980438347-8VZYM7BNPGHXB48L6SLK/IMG_2062.JPG Wholes - Dormio: Interfacing with Dreams Sleep is a forgotten country of the mind.

These sounds are not binaural beats--poorly tested and poorly understood, activating sound localization--but instead work via auditory rhythms and brainwave entrainment. With 400,000 users giving constant feedback, this is a really exciting testing platform for new 'awareness interventions'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1476286002577-0C8EJJ5TVAN0FSQ45U64/IMG_5942.jpg Parts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1474857355761-PW09QAVSQXNZ6W9X3UPM/IMG_4195.jpg Parts - Flower Power An electrified flowerbed I made for groups making music together.

This appears to be a toilet flapper. It is in fact painstakingly carved from Marshmallow Peeps, linked together with a chain of DVD shavings and solder, inserted with a 3D printed Polylactic Acid earpiece. In the future we must use the supplies at our disposal to decorate ourselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1475961621462-FQG4ZULJQQP731H9T8HY/BOAS_boy3.jpg Parts - Alagados For a year, I lived and worked in Massaranduba, a Brazilian favela built on a garbage-filled mangrove swamp, to get 100 stable houses built and 100 unstable houses removed. The ~$80 million ongoing projects are a partnership between the World Bank, the Cities Alliance for Cities Without Slums, the Brazilian CONDER. I was sent at 17 through Global Citizen Year.

I joined Providence, RI, as the capital city's City Fellow, to understand the inner workings of municipalities. I focused on Smart Cities--possibilities for inclusive, data-driven policy making. My time there has been hugely educational. See Providence Talks, PlayCorps, OpenPVD, and What Works Cities for examples of ongoing work. See the Providence Innovation and Design District to understand my excitement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1532029007179-097LOYGASIPNZYHPGDI7/IMG_0374.jpg Parts - Next Generation Chill Generator Working with Abhinandan Jain and Felix Schoeller to turn ‘correlation is not causation’ on its head. Now that we have the technical ability to not only find physiological mechanisms tied to phenomenology, but to automatically activate those mechanisms, we can ask whether correlation can in fact lead us to effective causal interventions. So, will forcing frisson make YOU make meaning? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/57acedda197aeae282e531fe/5cdc32efec212d6751c58b8c/1570213397709/ Parts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1477011868300-T12E1T8RSO3FY34R2YRB/semantic-space-brain.jpg Parts - A Biological Thesaurus The Gallant Lab's Semantic Map, showing whole-brain co-activation of words, is a neural thesaurus that I see as a first-ever map of George Lakoff's Metaphors We Live By. Jack Gallant was kind enough to share his data matrixes, and I'm experimenting with VR/AR experiences writing poetry based on this map of subjective-objective perceptual language. Writing words with knowledge of the other words they activate! An objective subjective. A biological thesaurus.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1474987879690-HMSX7TPOJERN6ZQC5UNJ/MFANow_Launch1161.jpg Parts - Body Language Bot I was lucky enough to encounter Keepon and My Keepon through neuroscience research into childhood development. These bots are designed for non-linguistic empathetic connection, often with kids who have language difficulties, like autistic children. I brought this bot, amongst empathic tech I had constructed, to a curated conversation about different ways people can connect with one another, presented at the Boston MFA. Bodies are often especially honest communicators. Tech can show us this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1473363247659-WAU51OWGBXAI48GFUNWU/Screenshot+2016-09-08+15.27.22.png Parts - Marina Abramovic Institute @São Paolo I got to participate in the curation process and speak alongside Marina Abramovic, the 'grandmother of performance art', at her amazing art/science interactive Terra Comunal in Lino Bo Bardi's SESC Pompeia, São Paolo. We spoke about how neuroscience and performance art intersect in their understanding of presence.

Artists Rothko and Rorschach, abstract expressionists each, push to produce pure thinginess, essence teased free. Saying Seeing attempts this tease outside of 2D frame, uses misnaming in Augmented Reality to show thinginess and thing, inseparable upon introspection, as independent variables. Built with Ashris and Oscar and Christian! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1474124559968-XT14L26SOIBIPRNPRMWB/robot+with+hand.jpg Parts - Digital Divining Rod Science and art intersect allowing new, material inquiries into our subconscious cognition.

Edgar Allen Poe used it for poetry writing⁵, saying “There is a class of fancies, of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts; they seem to be rather psychal than intellectual... I am aware of these ‘fancies‘ only when I am on the brink of sleep, with the consciousness that I am so...it is a glimpse of the spirit’s outer world...the delight experienced has, as its element, but the absoluteness of novelty.” Scientists from Edison to Tesla write about use of hypnagogia for gaining creative insight on difficult problems as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518370540440-CCTPT8KMDR55K8IKCYMK/1.jpg Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518370939388-97FXKXK12QTJONIJYRT7/Screen+Shot+2018-02-11+at+12.41.26+PM.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518371554370-6LBHUBU8LVA7GMEQNAS1/IMG_4499.JPG Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518371551185-FU5C8NBV65LLCIQKSYWU/IMG_4503.JPG Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373436610-DE63A7MAJX9R735L87YG/Oscar+Dormio+Glove.jpg Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373449373-INJ9ZS4Q8XI1F41V958F/IMG_4828.JPG Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373456959-V60QG6UA7HZ6VH3ACUQH/IMG_4820.JPG Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373462078-NV0MN4DSQVI4GMM5P56P/Screen+Shot+2018-02-11+at+1.19.36+PM.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373462800-NKUSRG1J0GHHYCGSJ1OU/Screen+Shot+2018-02-11+at+1.19.44+PM.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373553911-V6UVRJBCCNPEQ6XPSTO6/IMG_2036.JPG Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373463197-FALCG4ONMQOSLHGYC6WI/Screen+Shot+2018-02-11+at+1.19.48+PM.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373531850-M8VDQYEXKSP8S9LYTYA9/IMG_2057.JPG Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373463275-P0K3Y3RGGAI8XJSPM0TX/Screen+Shot+2018-02-11+at+1.19.56+PM.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518373551408-57UEGKUY00I0N8RHL3KR/IMG_2062.JPG Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518296970463-FLT55B2H1OCUO8QXRX7F/Screenshot+2018-02-10+15.42.56.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518297463938-K4NSSSDGDXWTUKRUI4IT/pasted-image.jpeg Dormio Tagliazucchi (2013) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518374679777-SIFRGRA5204G5DONCOH2/Screenshot+2018-01-31+11.44.05.png Dormio - Incepting Abstraction One of our mentors on this project, Dr. Robert Stickgold, has showed fascinating sleep-induced changes in associative memory which offer insight into the generation of abstract ideas in hypnagogia which Dr. Dierdre Barrett refers to above. In these sleep stages, we are primed to our weakest associations, not our strongest associations like in waking state. This allows for distant, fluid idea associations which would be ignored or dismissed in a waking, attentional state. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518375698101-RQ16Y9QL1S5PXTVZDN8Y/Screenshot+2018-02-11+13.43.22.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518375813356-35XQU5T63OU7PKK0S0F5/Screen+Shot+2018-02-11+at+2.00.58+PM.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518375698055-H2YTU6R4JBVM8SVA2AVS/Screenshot+2018-02-11+13.44.20.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518375698308-F6XN3PDGAS0SVM4C2FGQ/Screenshot+2018-02-11+13.44.38.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518375835917-TZXDMZR2MFBQH7DM67DE/Screen+Shot+2018-02-11+at+2.01.04+PM.png Dormio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1518296720828-H83WLAU6P7DAQDZFV0ET/giphy.gif Dormio http://www.adamjhh.com/how-to-dormio daily 0.75 2019-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1558115965229-N0JULZQWXT1635URNE09/Dormio+App+Screen.png How To Use Dormio - How To Dormio We’re a team of dream engineering enthusiasts. So glad to have you on board. These dream incubation tools, at their best, can become new avenues for introspection. We’ve created a couple options for using the Dormio system so you can partake no matter what. Read through below: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554730174121-S8W3M2U80DHNLSYS3Z58/IMG_3426.png How To Use Dormio - This is what the app will look like when you first open it! Welcome to the dream team :) Press ‘time based’ if you don’t have the Dormio hardware, for a timer only version of the app. Papers like this one suggest you can do unsupervised, lightweight timer based interventions without sleep staging. If you have the Dormio wristworn device, turn it on and ‘Press here to connect’. We’re excited about the specificity biosignals offer over a simple timer, to parse the many stages of sleep descent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554730400738-JFUBISNQDTPDWJ3RJ7QK/IMG_3429.png How To Use Dormio - Now choose your Dream Theme This can be whatever you like. We have mostly tested nouns, like volcano or rabbit. But please explore, and tell us what you find! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554730476483-R198ML0TPOX8G322V513/IMG_3430.png How To Use Dormio - For the timer only version, you have to tell the app your time until sleep onset Write your best guess here. If it take you ~10 minutes to fall asleep write 600 seconds. It is best to overestimate by a few minutes here—it’s worse to get the first message while you’re less deep into drowsiness than more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554730956205-2U31U6P9KJ1S5RT4TTEJ/IMG_3431.png How To Use Dormio - If you don’t have a good guess Then press phone drop calibration time, and hold your phone in your hand above the floor as you fall asleep. When you drop it, the timer will stop. You will wake up with a number of seconds until sleep, and next time you can just put this into the ‘Time Until Sleep’ section as sleep onset time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554731138453-ZHBC5ZJ84MIVP2IYQIYJ/IMG_3433.png How To Use Dormio - Now you will use your voice as a wakeup cue. Press the mic symbol to record This message will play to wake you up slightly and gather a dream report. Feel free to customize it as you like, maybe saying “you’re getting sleepy” instead of “you’re falling asleep”, or maybe using your name specifically, or say “thinking about” instead of “dreaming about”. It turns out these slight differences really matter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554731697055-G3LMOHKWUDOIXD4LN12N/IMG_3436.png How To Use Dormio - Now you can record your dream incubation message Again, press the mic symbol to record the message that you will hear as you slip back into sleep. If you record one message, it will repeat. If you record multiple messages, you can try to create a continuous story...i.e. ‘think of a forest’…’think of the squirrels in the trees’…’think of playing chess with them’… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554732016842-FSUKCHR9SZVPDKLXBZMK/IMG_3437.png How To Use Dormio - Now choose your hypnagogic depth Once hypnagogia is detected, a wakeup message will be played. This choice, light to deep, determines how long beyond hypnagogia detection to play this message. 30 seconds (Light), 60 seconds (Medium), or 90 seconds (Deep). Try them all over a few days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554732308104-I0864G4C93C3K9WD77JC/IMG_3438.png How To Use Dormio - Now you choose how many loops to do Each representing one dream report and one dream incubation, before an alarm will wake you fully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554732513815-F50ARULK7IU3V8O7KIZ3/IMG_3442.png How To Use Dormio - Now you’re ready to sleep. In our experience, this is best in the morning or afternoon. Set up everything, your recordings etc, before bed, and leave your app on the Dream screen pictured here. Set your alarm 30 minutes before you need to wake up. Roll over gently (don’t move much!) and press ‘Dream’. Enjoy. Alternatively, do this before an afternoon nap. Lie down, and press dream when you are ready to sleep, leaving your phone near your bed so you can record and hear audio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554732613470-57U9P1TQGPXJ5JV0DS45/IMG_3440.png How To Use Dormio - If you don’t have the device You still press Dream when you are ready to sleep, you just won’t have any biosignals displayed. Don’t worry, you’ve still got all the same magical hypnagogic dreams in you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1554732692391-LP0NO0UAX7P8J1L4EIQ0/IMG_3443.png How To Use Dormio - Click Experiment at the bottom of the screen to change settings Enter a user id (UUID) to store data on the server with a specific name Change the prompt latency (how deep you would like to dream) with more specificity here Change Min Time To Sleep to give a hard minimum, in case you think Dormio is detecting sleep too early and waking you up too quickly. Change Max Time Between Sleeps to edit the time you will sleep after the first round of Dream Request and Dream Prompt is over, before the next one comes. Change the Delta Δ numbers to change thresholds for hypnagogia detection —i.e. if EDA changes by 8, call it hypnagogia, begin audio interaction.

I then formed the braid into the shape of a fancy V. V is the first letter of my mothers name, and the fancy shape mimics how she writes her signatur, which I have tattooed on my forearm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/7ffe3de0-db5e-4a5c-aada-ed461e0363b0/Screen+Shot+2023-05-09+at+17.10.40.png Shakira - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/02ade574-2f72-404a-ae61-39b1ad12d124/Screen+Shot+2023-05-10+at+15.00.49.png Shakira - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/147790d2-717f-4276-8f03-f2691cfef13c/Screen+Shot+2023-05-08+at+12.44.29.png Shakira - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.adamjhh.com/stories daily 0.75 2023-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1683589326044-02R4NRKVMUZAEVIBTVRX/stretcherh.png Robbey Stories - Stretcher https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1683589326042-LVATF7TV3R9UHHVJ701W/blinkh.png Robbey Stories - Blink https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1683589326724-X53L37GCKRL1UX4JEQZW/kaitoh.png Robbey Stories - Kaito http://www.adamjhh.com/flying daily 0.75 2024-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/1713988339935-I7NVGLN1ZLGXUV8NVO2K/Spinning+Mushrooms.jpg Flying Dreams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/c3b0a22f-443d-41e5-a1d1-a5f25201a6bf/P6180329_dxo.jpg Flying Dreams - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/f74f8d81-bb58-4d11-ba2a-e921c6fe2798/Spinning+Mushrooms.jpg Flying Dreams http://www.adamjhh.com/the-dream-workshop daily 0.75 2024-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/580635db-64b2-40a0-9b28-5379302bb641/0007.jpg The Dream Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/58f24703-f456-4e5a-b8ae-ceeab7eaea63/dormio.jpg The Dream Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/8fd00eba-ac97-4fc3-89d5-5f8aea229d8b/Neil+Harbisson+Ganzfeld.jpeg The Dream Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578c0c92b3db2b24714cd02d/9efef8b2-96dc-45ee-913c-f83f6e190e3c/0002.jpg The Dream Workshop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
