From The Fortress

A moss-covered rocky path leading through a forest.

Step into The Mystery

What you'll find here is my best and humble attempt at integrating my psychedelic (soul-revealing) encounters with the Sacred. Sometimes these encounters arose from deep pain and sorrow, other times through beauty, dreams, synchronicities, whispers, divinations, and remembrances. They also surfaced through powerful readings, good counsel, and experiences with plant medicine. Each of these enchanted breadcrumbs has guided me on my ongoing quest back home to Wholeness.

From here, you can prepare to embark on a journey of reclamation and integration of your Soul.

Pillars of The Fortress

Story

"It is of life-saving vitality to make a connection to a story...It is nothing less than a university of the soul... These stories are telling us how to live." ~Martin Shaw, Courting the Wild Twin


Story is not bound by time and offers immense wisdom and deep medicine.  Many of the books I have engaged with  for my own reclamation and integration are full of myths and stories told from a Jungian lens. They speak directly to the soul. 

Sacred Reading

Symbol

"Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily. Life is but a dream!" 🎶


If life is a dream, as many spiritual philosophies and quantum physics suggest, shouldn't we consider it a symbolic representation of our unconscious material waiting to be understood? We can begin to feel into life as we would a dream or psychedelic journey to unpack rich meaning, gain heightened awareness, and live with more lucidity and wonder.

Soma

“The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of one's being to be experienced, explored, enriched and, thereby, educated." -Thomas Hanna (who coined the term somatics)


"Soma" has 3 significant meanings to me.

1)  Somatic therapy: We're here to feel it all, but what we don't allow ourselves to fully feel and express stays inside, becoming toxic dis-ease. 

2) Plant Medicine: "soma" was a Vedic drink of the gods, which reminds me of The Immortality Key and the ancient ceremonies for holisitic wellness. 

3) Brave New World: In Huxley's book, "soma" is a drug given out by the World State as a powerful method of distraction and social control. Pay attention.
