Residencies & Partnerships
I don’t sell sessions. I build regenerative ecosystems. Each residency below is an invitation to co-create a culture where people can actually exist: whole, witnessed, resourced, turned on to their own life.
All residencies are offered in three, six, nine, and 12-month formats. Typical monthly investment ranges from $5K–$25K depending on depth, IP capture, co-branded assets, and on-site activation.
PATH 1:
Auralism x Khalia (Creator-In-Residence)
Regenerative intimacy, nervous system repair, sensual sovereignty, voice as medicine.
Auralism x Khalia
Who is this for?
Wellness and beauty brands. Intimacy/sexual health platforms. Women-centered communities. Hospitality & travel partners. Mental health & belonging initiatives. University life & student wellness. Teams with burnout you can taste in the air.
What do we build together?
We design a seasonal cadence for your internal teams or external communities, using my original sonic series as modular curriculum: The Pulse, Glossed, Obey the Echo, Milk & Honey, Midnight Oil, The Body Remembers, The Unveiling, Between The Breaths.
What does your community get?
Permission to show up unarmored. Emotional safety and sensual literacy that you cannot “mandate” through policy. Belonging rooted in truth, not performance. A culture language they repeat and claim as their own. Quiet proof that your organization doesn’t just say “we care,” you build care.
Why This Matters to You
You walk away with cultural IP, ritual architecture, and living content that’s emotionally honest and brand-aligned. You get loyalty, retention, and reputation you cannot fake.

PATH 2: Purposefully Pursuing Pleasure (Scholar-in-Residence)
Pleasure as leadership. Pleasure as pedagogy. Pleasure as an engine for creativity, emotional literacy, and social impact.
Purposefully Pursuing Pleasure
Who is this for?
Universities. Executive leadership programs. CSR & DEI teams. Women’s leadership networks. Foundations funding mental health, equity, and future-of-work models. Brands that are serious about care as culture, not campaign.
What do we build together?
We design and deliver a multi-phase residency or fellowship that treats pleasure and nervous system ease as strategic intelligence: Pleasure Literacy & Nervous System Repair, Intimacy With Self as Power; Voice, Confidence & Creative Authority; Applied Practice & Cohort Impact.
What does your community get?
Leaders who can regulate themselves, not just manage others. Language to talk about care, dignity, and desire in a way that isn’t HR-scripted or euphemistic. A visible, values-aligned claim: “This institution treats wellbeing as infrastructure, not as an afterthought. The beginnings of an internal network of Pleasure-Centered Experience Designers.
Why This Matters to You
You become a host site for future leadership, not just current compliance. You position yourself as a home for emotionally intelligent, high-capacity women, creatives, and impact talent who are no longer willing to disappear to keep you afloat.

PATH 3: Ease as a Regenerative Practice (Creator-in-Residence)
Cultural documentary residency. Your brand, organization, or community becomes the living proof.
Ease as a Regenerative Practice
Who is this for?
Hospitality and travel partners. Lifestyle / beauty / apparel brands. Destination marketing groups. Cultural institutions. Cities. Organizations ready to say “We know we need to change, and we’re willing to show that process in public.
What do we build together?
We create a narrative season, part documentary, part sonic essay, part ritual lab. This collaboration captures your shift from extraction (burnout culture, grind identity, cosmetic wellness) to regeneration (reciprocity, nervous system respect, embodied belonging). Intimate storytelling assets that say: “This is what it actually looks like to care for humans now.”
What does your community get?
Cultural credibility rooted in embodiment, not marketing. A regenerative story your audience can feel and trust. A differentiator that cannot be copied with ad spend. Assets you can continue to build on long after the residency ends.
Why This Matters to You
Intimate storytelling assets and a cinematic narrative that you can circulate to your audience, stakeholders, funders, and press to say: “This is what it actually looks like to care for humans now.” You don’t just claim “we’re a wellness brand” or “we’re focused on mental health” or “we’re building community.” You show receipts.

PATH 4: Regenerative Futures (Culture, Talent & Workforce Ecosystems)
From burnout economics to belonging economies.
Regenerative Futures
Who is this for?
Employers, civic orgs, workforce boards, foundations, schools & universities, and membership communities that need to retain, develop, and protect high-capacity, underestimated humans.
What do we build together?
Emotional literacy labs and listening-as-leadership practice. Culture strategy rooted in dignity, not grind-idolatry. Belonging-centered apprenticeship and career-connected learning models. Reflective storytelling frameworks so your people are seen as full humans, not extractive “success stories” you parade around for funding.
What does your community get?
A humane talent pipeline that doesn’t quietly destroy the people it depends on. An internal culture language around care, boundary-setting, nervous system regulation, voice, and worth. Artifacts you can show boards, funders, and recruits: this is not PR, this is how we live here.
