“Individual differences express the unity, as branches, leaves, and flowers from the same plant, and the love between the members is the realization of their basic interdependence.”

– Alan Watts

What if the state of our planet, and the state of ourselves, are really two sides of the same coin? I believe that the unprecedented challenges of our time all have the same root cause: our disconnection from the web of life. This disconnection is something we feel, but that is untrue, and reconnecting to nature is ultimately an act of reconnecting to ourselves.

Through my personal journey from working in a high-impact role in energy and climate, through climate anxiety, environmental grief and burnout, to a renewed sense of purpose, connection and hope, I have come to appreciate the power of psychedelics to heal both ourselves, and the nature we are ultimately a part of. These substances, as well as other tools to explore and expand our consciousness and foster connection, such as meditation, have become invaluable tools for me to navigate the challenging time we live in.

Through articles, poetry and painting, I am exploring these themes. My love for the natural world, my joy in exploring the mysteries of the mind, and my support of a safe and conscientious use of psychedelics, are all reflected in these works. This blog is an attempt to begin sharing some of my explorations, and an intention to connect and learn.

To me, not only are the topics nature, consciousness, and the power of psychedelics fascinating, but also deserving of our urgent attention. As an expert of the role of behavioural and societal changes in order to bring about a sustainable future, I believe that, while policies must certainly change, our understanding of our place in the world must too. With courage, and with joy!
