Welcome! I’m Lawrence D. Benson, PhD, MFA aka TheFlyyProfessa. I’m a philosopher, artist, and educator specializing in Somaesthetics with emphasis on creativity and movement. I write creatively, scholarly, and personally about my experiences in and observations of the world. I make music and movement in good faith. My goal is to engage people who are interested in encountering my—a hopefully, on some level—different perspective.

You will have access at various tiers to patron-only posts; original fiction, poetry, essay, and personal narrative; workshops & classes*; playlists & reading lists; Q&A; live-streams; one-to-one phone & video calls; digital downloads; and merchandise.
