Hi everyone! I’m Josie Jarvis. I’m an occupational therapist, occupational science-informed implementation scientist, educator, writer, and community builder in Washington State. I really enjoyed being part of Brenda’s Aligned AF Summer Camp and summit, so I’m excited to be joining Scale Camp! If you click through my profile, you’ll find my Skool community Rewilding the Mythic Self, a creative coaching project exploring art, mythology, meaning, and transformation. That project is currently on hiatus while I focus on integrating my creative work with my academic and professional work through the Evolved Living OT/OS Collaborative. For a while, I tried to build something completely separate from occupational therapy. Eventually I realized it’s basically impossible for me to separate myself from being an OT, and maybe I don’t need to. Rather than running away from that part of myself, I’m learning how to integrate it with everything else I create. Evolved Living is becoming the larger ecosystem for that integration, bringing together occupational science, knowledge translation, education, research, creativity, community, and professional development. I’ve gotten pretty good at generating ideas, resources, collaborations, and projects. Now I want to get better at building the sustainable infrastructure around them. I’m especially interested in memberships, community building, summits and events, clearer offers, and creating systems that don’t require me to personally carry everything. Excited to learn, experiment, connect, and see what everyone else is building! 🌱
