I’m really looking forward to joining the Wisdom of Psychosis Summit: four days of live conversation on altered states, consciousness, crisis and transformation, hosted by Anneke Sips. Wisdom of Psychosis began as a book. This summit is its celebration, and an invitation to bring different worlds into conversation around altered states, consciousness, crisis and transformation. October 15–18 · live online · free. Psychiatry, neuroscience, ancient wisdom, spirituality and lived experience, together in “a meeting place between worlds.” Keynote talks you can explore at your own pace, plus seven live circles, seven windows on understanding, where you can join the conversation yourself. It’s for people with lived experience, the people who love them, and the practitioners working to meet these experiences differently. I will be talking with Anneke about Animism, Trance States and the Descent Process.

I'm excited to share that the next round of The Mythic Body course by Josh Schrei of The Emerald Podcast has just been released, with some key changes that will allow for more folks to join and to provide communal continuity beyond the initial year-long format that it's had these last 4 years. I've had the great joy and privilege of being a course assistant and community manager since its inception and a co-facilitator of the course material for the last two years alongside the amazing Eve Bradford and Portia Richardson.

Six incisive thinkers discuss ways to pay deep and loving attention to Animals and Plants. Through various approaches – empathy, shared embodiment, animism and holism – they offer thoughtful and practical guidance on how the well-being and self-determination of our fellow earth-beings can be supported and revitalized. Skye Cielita Flor will be joining us on March 14th to share a titled: Reawakening Animate Relationship – Attention, Feeling and the Dreaming Mind
