Media Creates Culture: A Blog by the Awake Media Coalition
Media Creates Culture
I conceived of using media to awaken consciousness while I was witnessing the Twin Towers toppling on TV. At that moment I knew that we as a species were going to need to spiritually awaken to transcend the trauma and turmoil that we have created at this level of consciousness, in it’s materiality. I decided to devote my skills as a designer and communicator to creating media that awakens.
For a long time it remained somewhat of a New Age aspiration, without any legs, but after my ibogaine journey in 2015, I began to see a purpose for Awake Media that could actually facilitate that spiritual awakening. Today, in 2024, as I witness the unravelling of our culture and species in so many ways, I see that the need for media that awakens has become urgent on many fronts– in transcending trauma, ending addiction, finding purpose, righting relationships, and reconnecting with the divine. Enter entheogens, my preferred word for psychedelics.
Awake Media offers integrated branding, design and technology services for the entheogenic and addiction recovery community as well as an invitation to join Awake.net, our mission-driven non-profit social network for the entheogenic community, and home of FEAT, the Fund for Entheogenic Addiction Treatment. Our FEAT mission to End Addiction and Save Lives by crowdfunding individual ibogaine treatments is called 10,000 REBIRTHS.
