I'm an experienced, trauma-informed educator specialising in Social, Emotional and Mental Health education, with a background in mathematics and Telecommunications Engineering.\n\nI'm also the organiser and host of the **London Psychedelic Community** , bringing people together since 2018 through socials, thought-provoking conversations and shared experiences.\n\n**I'm a philomath at heart** , a lifelong lover of learning with an insatiable curiosity about the universe, the human experience and the mysteries of existence. My interests span psychedelics, consciousness, science, psychology, mathematics, sacred geometry, cymatics, spirituality, philosophy, world religions and belief systems, mysticism, esotericism, eschatology and ancient wisdom.\n\nI'm particularly drawn to spiritual healing and naturopathy, and the different ways people explore healing, wellbeing and the connection between mind, body and spirit. I'm also fascinated by where these diverse perspectives intersect and the questions they raise about the seen and unseen worlds. Nature holds a special place in my heart, and I find endless beauty, mystery and inspiration in the natural world.\n\nAbove all, **what I enjoy most is connecting with people** , hearing their stories and creating welcoming spaces where strangers can become friends.\n\nWhether you're joining us for the first time, feeling a little shy or you're already a familiar face, **please come and say hello!** I'm always happy to make introductions and help you feel at home.\n\n**Looking forward to meeting you! 🌿✨**\n\n* * *\n\n### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions\n\n**Do I need any knowledge or experience with psychedelics?**\n\nNot at all!
