🌿 About Your Host

Hi, I'm Sinbad! 👋

Sinbad is a pseudonym I use because of my profession. I'm a trauma-informed educator with a background in mathematics and Telecommunications Engineering, and a lifelong fascination and passion for psychedelics, consciousness and the mysteries of existence.

My interests span science, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, mysticism and ancient wisdom - particularly where these different ways of understanding reality intersect.

I'm the organiser and host of the London Psychedelic Community, which has been bringing people together since 2018 through socials, thought-provoking discussions and shared experiences.

What I enjoy most is hearing different perspectives and creating welcoming spaces where strangers can become friends.

Whether you're joining us for the first time or you're a familiar face, please come and say hello!
