Making the work
Writing, high-output creativity, and how one person ends up with six books, two plays, two records, and ten interactive art studios.
Dante Harker, available for talks, panels and podcasts.
Talks, podcasts and festivals
I talk about the work I actually make. Novels, plays, music, photographs, and the studios on this site. I also talk about the clinical work: twenty-five years as a hypnotherapist, supervision, and teaching therapists. The two meet when the room wants them to. They don't have to.

Good rooms for me
AI and a crowded head
Inbox overload, toxic productivity, and building tools that let you close the laptop and walk the dog. The Needle conversation sits here.
A life that has moved on
Confidence, self-worth, and the odd gap when your life has moved on but your head is still marking you against an old version of yourself.
Sex and relationships
Twenty-five years in the therapy room listening to what people actually say when the door is closed. Treating sex like a hobby rather than a performance review: less shame, less "should", more honesty.
