A 20-minute talk exploring the promise and peril of ayahuasca — drawing on personal experience and research with participants in Peru. What happens when healing meets uncertainty in psychedelic practice?

After a couple of years as a visiting lecturer, I’ve joined Regent’s University London as staff. A step toward deeper roots in a place that’s become home to my teaching and thinking.

A poem I wrote

I joined the first residential weekend of Rainbow Relationships’ Open & Polyamorous Relationships CPD—a powerful, practical training for therapists. It was rich, real, and deeply connecting.

I co-facilitated June’s SEA Symposium on Altered States & Open Doors—an evening of existential inquiry into psychedelics and psychotherapy. The discussion was wide-ranging, grounded, and very much alive.

I contributed an existential perspective to the ReSPCT guidelines, published today, drawing from my PhD research on ayahuasca and years of psychedelic integration work.

Here’s a 30 minute talk about my ayahuasca research to the Centre for Psychedelic Research, Imperial College, London.

A recent talk about my ayahuasca research for the MERLiN lab at Birkbeck, University of London.

Humanists UK interviewed myself and Richard Unwin about memories of our work with LGBT Humanists around 2008–2015.

I recorded a contribution to the PG Cert in “Psychedelics, philosophy and culture” (online) at the University of Exeter, the UK's first academically certified programme in psychedelics studies.
