If you're here, you likely found me through a trusted relationship, whether with me or through someone we both trust.
That's how I like it. This work moves at the speed of trust, so there's no rush and nothing you need to have figured out. Look around, and when it feels right, reach out. Let's build trust together and see what unfolds.
One-on-one ceremonies shaped around you, whether you're working through a challenge, growing in a new direction, or following something you can't yet name.

Contact me for more detailsJulian (he/they) earned a PhD in physics with a focus in biophysics and neuroscience, publishing more than a dozen peer-reviewed papers before founding an AI art authentication company. Through all of it, he's been drawn to building things that bring people together — tools, spaces, and experiences designed around connection, gathering, and inner work.
His path into ceremony grew from a lifelong love of nature and small group gathering. The ayahuasca community is where he learned what a structured ceremonial container can hold. He went on to complete Oregon's psilocybin facilitator training with Synaptic and the Pathways program with Sacred Garden Community, alongside Wheel of Consent training and Vipassana meditation, deepening a longstanding focus on presence, somatic awareness, and consent-based practice.
His approach is simple and non-directive: create well-held spaces, grounded in clear agreements, where people feel safe enough to show up authentically, move at their own pace, and connect with themselves and others. He brings a scientist's curiosity and a calm, compassionate presence.
