Among the countless realizations that transpired from the experience, four trajectories were firmly decided upon that would forever change his life trajectory.  The first, is leaving his Graduate program two months away from completion of his Master’s thesis, as it became alarmingly clear his heart’s passion lied in the fostering of contemporary culture not piecing together fragments of the past. Secondly, he would propose to his then girlfriend now wife of twelve years – as anyone that can hold space for a full psychedelic (and likely kundalini) rebirth in the middle of a festival with a compassionate heart is an absolute gift to this world.  He then decided in lieu of academia to pursue a path producing festivals filled with radical creative expression and mission-centric community building – eventually becoming an award winning festival. And most importantly, he would intensely explore ancient practices of spiritual initiation and the sacramental use of entheogenics in an attempt to unveil a road map of inner discovery to support the growth of others who choose to walk the path that had radicallyimpacted every facet of his life.  The resulting journey culminating in a now 13 year devotional practice into the heart of the Hermetic Qabalistic ceremony and initiation.
