Julian (he/him) initially followed an academic route that culminated in a PhD in physics (with a focus in biophysics and neuroscience), over a dozen peer-reviewed publications, and the founding of an AI art authentication company. Alongside that work, he has always been drawn to building things that bring people together — tools, spaces, and experiences designed around connection and gathering.

Since taking the psilocybin facilitator training out of Oregon he has redirected his focus towards one that puts somatic practices front and center, a lifelong personal pursuit. His approach to facilitation is rooted in consent, presence, and care — creating well-held spaces where people feel safe enough to show up authentically, move at their own pace, and reconnect with themselves and others. Bringing the same critical awareness and conscientious work ethic from academia, Julian now applies his skills to interpersonal, self-reflective, and somatic work. He is now equipped to cultivate meaningful connections and support others on journeys of self-discovery and personal growth, helping them tap into their process.
