During these unpredictable times one thing is certain.  We can no longer rely on external conditions to support a true sense of balance, belonging and growth in this world.  

“The key to genuine world peace… Is inner Peace.” ~ Dalai Lama

The decision to live into the deeper virtues of the heart is a deeply personal one. It requires a surrendering of the habits, patterns and conditions that bind the mind into a false sense of protection. Guiding us toward a freedom and sovereignty that only the soul can understand.  Although this process is unique for each and every one of us, the desire to share in this Quest with others is also part of our deepest tribal nature.  To bear witness to the courage of true healing, to commune with the wisdom of fellow seekers, to uplift and empower one another through the commitment to intentional action – This is what Journey of Origins is all about.  A journey of walking each other home to the deeper essence of the heart.

It was an absolute honor to be a part of this past weekends Bicycle Day Psychedelic Symposium as Master of Ceremonies. The intention and care that went into the event by all the amazing folks at The Pearl Institute, Psychedelic Society of Asheville and Third Room made for a beautiful experience. And the presentations! Such wisdom, compassion and sense of purpose was delivered by each and every presenter and panelist.

Special thanks to the wonderful discussions provided by W. Bryan Hubbard, Chris Bache, Dr. Michael Mithoefer, Dr. Raymond Turpin, Jacquelyn Dobrinska, Gina Giorgio, Nick Nowak, Sarah Levine and so many others that made the event truly special. I’m still buzzing head to toe from the riveting insights offered. And mark your calendars for April 18 & 19, 2026 as it looks like this is going to become a yearly tradition for our Asheville Community! Thank you to everyone who attended and participated to make it such a special event. Feeling very grateful for our WNC psychedelic community.
