Things I
Speak About

  • I am very passionate about how to make psychedelics more accessible. For me, a big part of this conversation is community and so this is the intersection I like to focus on.

  • We are in a mental health crisis right now. The true pandemic is one of loneliness. I am passionate about a variety of emerging tools to help improve mental health including breathwork, cold exposure and of course, psychedelics.

  • I have learned a lot of lessons from building The Flying Sage community and I would love to share those with you! Whether it is building community driven products, creating engagement or harnessing the power of transformative in-person events, I have a lot to share!

Jamie Wheal (2022)

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jamie Wheal at the 2022 Spirit Plant Medicine Conference to discuss his recent talk and the concepts he outlines in Recapture the Rapture. This is one of my favorite books and what inspired the mission statement of The Flying Sage which is to ‘democratize transcendence’.
