Soul-making Retreat, held at Life Itself Bergerac
I am a mystic, awakening guide, artist and writer. I hang out in the cosmic energy soup of atemporal distributed intelligence and am passionate about wholeness and realness in awakening. I love being directly present with a huge amount of complexity.
The awakening journey I went on transformed me at every level, and a core aspect of the process was integrating a modern scientific understanding of the world with an embodied mystical realisation.
This synthesis upends a lot of the dominant narratives about what reality is and what it means to be human, on an individual and societal level. My closest inspirations on this journey were Jung and Buddhism.
In the physical realm, I currently reside in Amsterdam with my partner.

Teaching
My work helps people become present to their true nature and the true nature of the Universe.
Everything I teach comes from direct insight and experience. Some of the things my teaching combines are Buddhist emptiness, shadow work, tantric embodiment, the archetypal realm, mysticism, and a radically new way of relating to the heart.
You can find much of my work available for free on this website.
I am currently writing two books, one called “Being Buddha Nature: A Guide to Awakening,” which brings my awakening framework to life, and another called, “The Living Imaginal Realm,” which describes how the shamanic and mystical are integral parts of everyday reality.
I am also currently researching how to teach this approach for collective awakening.
