Expanded states first took me with a spontaneous mystical experience in my early twenties. Soon after I came across psychedelics and later meditation. I did a PhD in Religious Studies to deepen my understanding, and I’m still working with what I learnt from that. I became professionally involved with psychedelics in 2020 when I joined The Synthesis Institute as Director of Ecopsychology. In 2021 I became a Learning Mentor for the first cohort of students in the Synthesis Psychedelic Practitioner Training. I accompanied the students on their ten-day psychedelic retreat in the Summer of 2022 and then joined the Synthesis Retreat Team as a Co-lead Facilitator. I remained in this job until the final retreat in Spring 2023. I was awarded the Synthesis Psychedelic Practitioner Training Certificate in 2023.
I'm a member of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy, a guest lecturer on the PGCert Psychedelics: Mind, Medicine, and Culture at the University of Exeter and have trained as a Research Therapist with Beckley Psytech.
The Process
STEP
1
Preparation before your journey can be hugely beneficial. Not only is it likely to make your psychedelic session more rewarding, but it can also be seen as a vital part of the bigger journey. As Tim Crespi, a colleague of mine at Synthesis, says, “The medicine is only part of the medicine”: Healing comes from mindful preparation, a properly facilitated session and respectful integration. I work with you to identify specific actions and practices that will help you prepare. We'll consider diet, sleep patterns and preparatory exercises. You'll consider your intentions and make sure you have a good support network for your return.This is also an opportunity to ask any questions you might have about your forthcoming journey.

Whatever you experience on your psychedelic journey, integration is vital. This an ongoing process of delving into the deeper significance of your experience. An expanded state of consciousness can be beautiful, terrifying and bewildering. It’s likely that much of the mystery will remain, but there are seeds of wisdom that gentle cultivation can nurture into flowering. Our integration sessions can help you to unravel the insights hiding in the tangle of psychedelic experience and weave them into the tapestry of your life. Every journey is unique but there are ways of being with the experience that can help feed your growth.

The process of integration is ongoing, and you may gain new insights many years after your journey. However, after several sessions with me you'll reach a point where you're ready to move forward to the next stage. This might be another journey, in which case we can revisit the preparation process. Or you may feel the need to just be with what you have gained and during our integration sessions you'll learn techniques that will serve you as you go forward on your own. In any event, I'll be available to support you as you take the next step.
