Hi, I’m Rena.
An experience seeker with a habit of turning “wouldn’t it be fun if…” into actual plans.
I’ve spent my life bringing friends and strangers into whatever curious adventure I’ve dreamed up. House of Her gives that instinct a name, a home, and a wider invitation.
How could we make this ordinary thing a little more creative, playful, or provocative?
How I got here
I followed my curiosity.
Craft nights. Metal concerts. Immersive theatre. Naked bathhouses. Writing circles. I kept saying yes to things that intrigued me and sometimes made me a little nervous. Each experience gave me a chance to try on a different way of being, and discover something I hadn’t known about myself.
I started bringing people along.
Friends, friends of friends, people I’d just met. I loved sharing the strange, wonderful things I found, and dreaming up adventures of our own. A little like improv for life: playful, ridiculous, messy, honest. I wanted more of it, and more people to share it with.
Now I’m making the invitation wider.
House of Her is where all those ideas get to come out and play. I bring my experience as a teacher, event planner, and facilitator to gatherings I’m excited to be part of myself. I’ll be your host, and I’ll be right there with you: creating, exploring, and probably trying something for the first time, too.
