I am a lifelong experiencer of The Phenomenon, recently emerged from a profound awakening journey, who now feels a deep passion for holding space for the awakening journeys of others.

As a result of my contact experiences, I’ve developed the felt sense that, above all, UFOs are portals, invitations to awaken to the knowing that’s rooted deep in our human bodies.

But it’s not just the UFOs - what’s out there… it’s what’s right here below our feet: the land, the dust and bones of ancestors, the genii locorum of fable and hoary time. It’s anything that we can sense at the borders and boundary lands of our knowing, and it’s what comes to meet us there when we are born or broken or beckoned. It’s the tribe of experiencers dating back to the most ancient of days; the saints and the prophets and the oracles and the hermits and all whose stories were silenced or untold. It’s the ritual and the rite both ancient and new-spoken that ties us to place and spirit and here and now… and to all the places and times we may occupy or transgress that are not here and not now.

This is a place for auto-historiography and for co-regulation. For wisdom and for wonder, for soma and for storytelling. Of things descended and things exhumed. It’s a place for spell-work where we understand that magic is inherent in language and that the body is grimoire and grammar and word and tongue.

I love the juiciness of paradoxes, interstices, liminalities… the places in the Venn diagrams that map the “yes and.”

And I’m calling all occupants of the most extraordinary, intraplanetary craft we call the human body to join me.
