The next meeting of Psychedelics and Aesthetics, the reading group I lead at Harvard Divinity School’s Center for the Study of World Religions (CSWR), will meet on Wednesday, 4/16 3-5 pm EST at the CSWR conference room to discuss trance and dance in rave culture, along with associated cultural expressions and drug experiences.

I’ll be presenting my current research on Monday, March 31, 6 pm - 7:30 pm, as well as a panel on Friday, April 4th, 6pm at Emerson Hall as part of the Harvard Psychedelics Club’s Psychedelic Week. The week’s programming includes presentations from scholars, artists, and professionals working at the intersections psychedelics and cognition, spirituality, health, and art.

I’m thrilled to announce that blue wave will be presented at the 2025 Harvard Divinity School Film Festival! The event celebrates student, independent, and studio films, showcasing projects that address religion, faith, ritual practices, and spirituality.

As part of the 2024–2025 offerings from the Program for the Evolution of Spirituality, I’ll be facilitating a new working group titled The Art of Dying: Artistic and Cultural Hermeneutics of Mortality and Transformation.

Meeting the first Monday of each month at 7:30 PM ET, this group invites participants to explore the aesthetic, spiritual, and political dimensions of death and dying.

This academic year, I’ll be leading a bi-weekly reading group at the Center for the Study of World Religions, exploring the complex relationship between psychedelic experiences, aesthetics, and ethics.

Titled Psychedelics and Aesthetics, the group will meet every other Wednesday from 3–5 PM, beginning September 11, 2024, in the CSWR Conference Room.

I’m thrilled to announce that Integrate.Me will be presented by the British Film Institute as part of their Shifting Perspectives exhibition! The event celebrates the work of women and non-binary artists in the field of immersive technology, showcasing projects that address significant social and cultural issues.

Integrate.Me is a short documentary film that follows my journey through an experimental therapy, demonstrating how I transitioned from coping with PTSD to actively building a balanced life and finding belonging.
