A presentation I gave to Breaking Convention Psychedelic Convention 2024 about raving, trauma and psychedelia as a spiritual tool for dealing with our mortality, managing our grief and healing at the end of life. Forgive my weakness for always starting with a gag.

My professional fees are the same if not cheaper than my competitors. It should be way more, but that’s not how the industry works and I would never want to price any family out.

Money burning ritual with the Church of Burn at Damanhur Spiritual Community near Turin on the epic psychedelic pilgrimage Cerne to CERN organised by Daisy Campbell, taking in acid rituals at the geographical centre of the hadron collider, and Jung’s tower at Bollingen. Mind blowing. Magic accessed.
