Death Faire: Dying Before You Die

NOV
7
2026

In Person Event

A direct encounter with the Sacred, whether it arrives at the end of life or in the middle of it, has a way of taking the fear out of dying and handing back the day in front of you. I will share what that may look like, and what it asks of us afterward.

The Plant | 12:15 PM - 1:00 PM | 192 Lorax Lane, Pittsboro, NC

Eskawatã Kayawai: The Spirit of Transformation

DEC

2026

FILM SCREENING & DISCUSSION

In the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, the Huni Kuin people are undergoing a profound renaissance of their identity. After enduring decades of slavery, massacres, and cultural suppression, their resurgence began in 2000. Two decades later, they’re thriving at a cultural peak, rediscovering and embracing their true heritage.

Join me for a screening of the film, followed by a conversation about what the Huni Kuin story asks of those of us who work with these medicines today.

Lumina Theater | 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM | 620 Market Street, Chapel Hill, NC

SYMPOSIUM

I’m honored to speak at this year’s Science on Spiritual Health Symposium (SOS), hosted by Emory’s Center for Psychedelics and Spirituality. Each year SOS brings together researchers and clinicians to share new findings in spiritual health and psychedelic medicine, and what those findings could mean for how medicine cares for people.

I’ll be speaking alongside Robin Carhart-Harris, Stephen Lewis, Candace Oglesby, and Csaba Szilagyi.

Emory University, Atlanta, GA
