nice to meet you.
I'm Amy Spittler Shaffer and I like to
work at the intersection of collective content,
relational change and creative joy and belonging.
Explore the stuff I'm building, feeling and doing—
if you see something resonant, let's get to
know each other better.
thewonderment.com is the first digital collective-building platform of its kind.
I co-founded and iteratively designed the non-profit platform with a global team of collaborators over the last decade and integrated it with a 501c3 infrastructure and process that back the collective exploration and actions on the platform with a real-world system of support.
The Wonderment Cooperative is the companion 501c3 for the Wonderment platform—supporting collectives of inspired everyday people around the world (who we call small-scale visionaries) with grassroots organizing process, entrepreneurial development curriculum, seed funding, marketing and other non-profit services so they can grow their community work in a creative, focused and cohesive way.
PEER Summit is a yearly weekend salon-style gathering of creators, leaders, authors, changemakers, investors and blockchain founders—all exploring how to use emerging technology to create new human solutions.
I've been the community design director for the last several years for the main Sundance event and am working with the tight-knit PEER community to begin expanding their collective experiences and work.
When I got invited to do a TEDx talk, I got the opportunity to revisit (and karmically release) one of my least favorite childhood questions—and dive into one of my most favorite questions as an adult.

I was lucky enough to be selected to bring a CreativeMornings chapter to my hometown of Salt Lake City and act as the city host/organizer for two years—and when I handed the baton to the next city host, my swan song was a talk of my own on the surreal work of one of my favorite artists.
Art and astrological insights on a few of my personal star signs are credit to the Chani app, created by my all-time favorite astrologer, social justice champion and creative business person, Chani Nicholas.
