Scott David Wright is a drummer, flutist, author, and keeper of sacred space — a man who has spent decades weaving together the threads of rhythm, wild nature, and deep masculine community.

His life is his art: unhurried, rooted, resonant.

Scott David Wright — Sedona, AZ
Scott Wright spent years as a finance professional — building success in environments that demanded a disconnected, curated self. Like LaRae, he achieved everything the world told him to achieve, and found himself quietly asking whether any of it meant what he thought it would.
That questioning led him inward. Scott began exploring consciousness, awareness, and the nature of the self — reading deeply, questioning everything, and ultimately walking away from the business world that no longer fit who he was becoming.
Today Scott co-hosts The Observatory podcast alongside LaRae, where his philosophical depth, gift for asking unexpected questions, and willingness to share his own journey make him one of the show's most beloved voices.
His journey through major life transitions — divorce, belief, identity — has given him a particular sensitivity to the experience of waking up inside a life that no longer fits, and the freedom that becomes possible on the other side.
Scott Wright creates music that mirrors the same inner landscapes he explores on The Observatory — consciousness, awareness, and the quiet territory between thought and feeling. His recordings are intended not just to be heard, but to be experienced.
From Solfeggio frequency compositions to the meditative journeys of We Two Movement, Scott's music invites listeners into a deeper relationship with themselves.
Embracing the Four Mirrors
of Intimacy
There is a growing population of people — women and men in their forties, fifties, and sixties — who built full lives before love arrived. Full careers. Full identities. Full nervous systems shaped by decades of independence and the quiet strategies that sustained them through years of living well alone.
When love finds them, it doesn't find a blank slate. It finds everything they are. And it holds up a mirror unlike anything they have encountered before.
Love After the Life Is Built — co-written with LaRae Wright — is a teaching memoir organized around an original four-part framework: the Heart Mirror, the Mind Mirror, the Protection Mirror, and the Consciousness Mirror. Discovered not through clinical research or spiritual tradition, but through the lived experience of two sovereign people welcoming love into full lives.
Humble, curious, and experiential. Written not from the stance of someone who has mastered relationships, but from the perspective of someone still learning to look into the mirror. Told from inside an ongoing marriage.
"The moment you see it, you can choose something different."
LaRae Wright is a writer, speaker, and explorer of the deeper dimensions of human experience. Her work lives at the intersection of personal transformation, intimate relationships, and the practical wisdom that only comes from having walked through the fire and come out changed.
LaRae's work and life have been shaped by a willingness to go to the real place — to ask the questions that matter, name what is true, and share the journey openly rather than only in retrospect.
Today she co-hosts The Observatory podcast alongside Scott, writes about conscious relationships and the examined life, and is completing their debut book, Love After the Life Is Built
Her journey through love, loss, and the discovery of what it truly means to be in relationship with another sovereign human being is the source material for everything she creates.
Scott and LaRae share a life rooted in the same values that animate everything they do: authenticity, depth, a willingness to ask the hard questions, and a belief that real intimacy is one of the most demanding and rewarding practices available to us.
Together they host The Observatory podcast, co-author their debut book, and continue to build a shared life — curious, playful, and always looking for the deeper layer.
Where men come home to themselves
Long before he was a drummer or an author, Scott was a gatherer of people — someone who understood instinctively that human beings need fire, story, skill, and each other.
For years he has created and held space for men and communities to come together in ways that nourish something deeper than the everyday — gatherings where something ancient and necessary can breathe again.
Intentional gatherings in the wilderness where men do the quiet, hard work of coming home to themselves — through silence, ceremony, honest conversation, and the medicine of wild places.
Multi-day immersions in ancestral technologies — fire-making, tracking, plant knowledge, shelter, and the quiet confidence that comes from learning to meet the land on its own terms.
A weekly gathering at Scott's home — men and music under the tipi, a standing invitation to connection, rhythm, and the kind of talk that only happens when people sit together without screens or agendas.
Gatherings vary in size, duration, and focus. Some are open to new participants; others by invitation. Reach out directly to learn about upcoming events.
Discovery of Consciousness & Awareness
A podcast exploring consciousness, awareness, relationships, and the examined life — hosted by Scott and LaRae Wright. Wide-ranging, honest, and rooted in lived experience.
An invitation to go deeper together
Scott speaks from lived experience, not theory. Whether addressing men's groups, retreat communities, conferences, or intimate gatherings, he brings the same quality of presence that makes his drum circles come alive — a willingness to go to the real place, to say what needs saying, and to trust the intelligence of the people in the room.
His talks draw on decades of immersion in men's work, primitive skills, music as spiritual practice, and the particular challenges of living an examined life in the modern world.
What does healthy masculine initiation look like in a world that has largely forgotten it? Scott speaks from deep personal experience and years of holding space for men doing this essential work.
An exploration of rhythm, community, and what happens when a group of people surrender to a shared pulse — and what that can teach us about listening, following, and leading.
The knowledge encoded in earth-based skills is not merely practical — it is psychological, spiritual, and communal. Scott speaks to what we recover when we learn to make fire with our hands.
How do we create spaces where human beings can actually show up fully? What does it take to hold a container strong enough for something real to happen?
