Lectures

They say that information builds knowledge and that can gestate into wisdom, but joining the dots in the data stream is the challenge. Below are a series of seminal lectures I’ve given over the years on different aspects of psychedelic, shamanic and yogic practice and culture.

Think of this page as your digital “Mystery School”, with audio and video lectures, some with the raw PowerPoints for you to follow along, hyperlinked to connect to the larger data out there. May these talks offer pieces to the puzzle of a healthy, sustainable, meaningful new paradigm that unites ancient wisdom with future technology. A thread through the labyrinth of disinformation and division that points towards home.
