With a background in community arts, youth work and festival production, I  like to bring people together in imaginative and authentic ways, especially those often overlooked or excluded from mainstream spaces.

I curate The Psychedelic Society’s gatherings in Hastings, celebrating the town’s creative spirit while opening new conversations about consciousness and community. I also leads SisterWood, a nature-based programme for girls, and explore consciousness through Reiki and sound practice, weaving together art, nature and embodied awareness.

Psychedelics have been among my greatest teachers, informing my inquiry into connection with nature and self, and how we might honour the lineages that hold these understandings. I am studying for an MSc in Mind, Medicine & Culture: Psychedelics at the University of Exeter, examining how altered states of consciousness shape creativity, connection and collective understanding. I'm passionate about collaboration, open dialogue and shared learning.
