To sum it up, I’m a classic “Psychedelic Renaissance Man” who is active as an author, podcaster, public speaker, integration coach, instructor/teacher, mentor, artist, musician and photographer. I’m known for my “radical nonduality” that arose from my direct entheogenic experiences and as articulated through my many books, lectures, interviews, and podcast appearances. In 2008 I gave 5-MeO-DMT the nickname of “The God Molecule” and have promoted a comprehensive nondual energetic worldview that goes by the name of “The Entheological Paradigm,” which is rational, empirical, and open to direct experience via entheogenic work.
As a “central hub,” this website is intended to bring together my many different projects, websites, services, offerings, and more. There’s a lot here because I like to keep myself busy and am a chronic creative type who’s always got numerous projects in the works.
All of my works are self-produced, meaning I create my own art, music, books, audiobooks, videos, etc. I like doing things on my own, my way, to ensure my most authentic expression and maintain my individual autonomy.
If you’d like to support my work (which is always welcome - as an independent creator, I always appreciate the contributions of fans and supporters), and perhaps receive some support in return, then I invite you to consider being a supporter at Patreon, where I have various tiers of support from $1 a month to $100 a month, which also earns a monthly 1-hour video call. Visit me at Patreon for more details.
