About Me

I am a mystic, awakening guide, artist, and thought leader.

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 that upends a lot of the dominant narratives about what reality is. My closest inspirations on this journey were Jung and Buddhism. I love being directly present with an enormous amount of complexity and subtlety.

Modern understandings of the world often strip out the underlying spiritual and shamanic aspects of experience that are vital to connecting with the true nature of reality, whereas wisdom traditions often bypass important scientific or materialist truths about the Universe.

I envision that science and culture will come to understand the ways that the spiritual and the physical integrate during my lifetime. I am writing and illustrating a book, ‘Being Buddha Nature’, to contribute my understanding of experience to this.

I currently live in Amsterdam with my partner.
