Hi! I am Nirupa. 

Welcome to Radical Everything

Radical everything is about facilitating change. Specifically it is about how a journey of personal change rippled into a series of storytelling projects that investigate creativity, connectivity and learning as essential to navigating and responding to change.

Change facilitated more intentionally started with a life reboot in 2017. My moment of reckoning came end of 2016 just when I thought I had it all sorted. I had a door close at my last office job, in financial services. It became an opening into Chapter 2. This website logs this journey.

DOING

I write, I collect stories and facilitate small format gatherings called salons.

My series Personas investigate multiplicity — our many voices and personas, as the basis for self-discovery and expression. My series Experiments examines everyday living as the basis for real life university, an outlet for education available to all of us.

The salons are outlets for self-expression, creativity and collaborative conversations. They investigate creativity, connectivity and learning as the basis for healing and transformation. 

A more official bio of the doings of the past, is on here.

For 14 years work was life. I worked as a salesperson in financial services and called the trading floor my home.

Chapter 2. emerging not arriving

2017 started with a literal and figurative journey. Travel for 170 days became inspiration for a semi-nomadic life, a new model of embracing life on the move as a format for change. I lead a self-directed life, driven by the spirit of creative exploration. Everyday is a lab, a sandbox for education and experimentation.
