What is Minimal Viable X (MVX)?
How MVX Works
We are living amid extraordinary violence, grief, and injustice. The scale of harm can make beauty and connection feel distant or inaccessible. And yet—gathering in small groups to witness one another, to mark what matters, to feel aliveness together—is still within reach. It is one of the simplest antidotes we have.
You bring the X factor: a transition, relationship, question, or milestone that wants to be held in shared presence—but you’re not quite sure how to bring it to life.
My role is to help you shape that impulse into a gathering or activation that feels vibrant, clear, and meaningful, even when time, resources, or certainty are limited.
I walk alongside you as a collaborator, not an authority. You bring the intention. I bring structure, facilitation, creative design, and deep relational care. Together, we create something honest, impactful, and doable.
MVX is inspired by the idea of the MVP (minimum viable product). Rather than waiting for perfection, we co-create a Minimum Viable Gathering: a thoughtfully designed, right-sized moment that makes space for connection, truth, and beauty—now, not someday
The mandate of MVX is to platform Love, Justice, and Beauty in an aching world — not through large, polished events, but through gatherings that are alive, relational, and possible right now.
Purpose Discovery

I support or lead the gathering itself, creating a grounded and welcoming space for participants.Reflection & Next Steps
We learn from what emerges and explore whether you want to deepen, repeat, or expand the experience.
Every MVX engagement follows a simple, adaptive process
It is the opposite of overproduction. It is spacious, human, and responsive.
Joshua has a rare gift for bringing people together with warmth and intention. I had the honour of collaborating with him to create an intimate pop-up choir, an evening that was meaningful and alive with connection.
Throughout the process of creating and hosting the gathering, Joshua encouraged me to step into my own power as a facilitator, reminding me to trust my instincts and talents.
Working with him was grounding, inspiring, and deeply collaborative.
Joshua’s vision and steady presence create spaces that glow with presence and shared spirit. If you’re looking for someone to support your work with care, intention, and heart, Joshua is that person.
Joshua has a rare talent for designing gatherings with deep intention that leave people feeling inspired and provoked, while building deep community connections.
Having hosted an event with him (Heal With Music), I know he delicately and thoughtfully weaves art, music, poetry, and photography into bespoke events that create space and safety for any and all emotions, learning, kinship and hope. The way he brings people together is an art in and of itself. I'm excited for him to continue touching people with his event design and facilitation gifts.
I think what’s often missed in our groups, communities, and organizations is the value of intentional followership and I’ve witnessed Joshua support others’ ideas and projects because he offers and steps into followership in such thoughtful and passionate ways. It’s an under-developed and under-appreciated skillset that flows so naturally out of him.
In order to be successful in this way, I see him bringing generative listening (the 4th level of listening after downloading, factual, and empathic listening) to almost all of his conversations from one-on-one friendships to large group gatherings. Each opportunity to converse with him invites deeper reflection and more actionable steps coming out of that conversation.
