I'm Peter Pielaet-Strayer. I create spaces for conversation, curiosity, and quiet transformation.
My work lives where food, fire, and philosophy meet. It began in vineyards and tasting rooms, where I learned the power of gathering. A glass of wine, a shared table, a slow conversation—these things taught me how people open up, and how we begin to heal and grow.
Eventually, I stepped away from the wine world and into education. Not the kind found in rows of desks and test scores, but the kind that asks: Who are you? What do you care about? And how do you want to move through the world?
Now, I build projects that ask these questions out loud.
Wine With Pete is my offering to the world—a series of open-fire gatherings where people come together to eat, think, and remember what it means to be human. PMBaseline helps others rediscover clarity by checking in with their mind and body each day. And my work in education technology focuses on tools that restore agency, support reflection, and make learning feel alive again.
I care about stillness. I care about effort. I care about helping people listen to their own thoughts and then take their next step with confidence.
If you're curious, I'd love to hear from you.
If something I shared resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.
