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.
