Media Creates Culture
I conceived of what later became Awake Media 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. Awake Media offers integrated branding, web development, design and media services for the entheogenic and addiction recovery community.
Servers that Serve

From Hosting to Film: A Digital Media Ecosystem for the Psychedelic Community
Ease of use is a key consideration for me because I find that if the processes have been streamlined, the creativity flows and we can create something great together. In the world of design, this is called Design Thinking, and we apply this to all our work.

The movie The Social Dilemma revealed the extent of the censorship and social manipulation we currently experience on Facebook and other platforms. Building your classroom and student community on your WordPress website gives you 100% ownership, privacy, and an ad-free environment.
Sacred Commerce
Awake Media creates films, apps, and books about a very important topic: entheogens, a.k.a. psychedelics. I have decided to put the power of my 40 years of experience with branding and design, as well as the power of media itself, wholly to work on communicating and...

Sacred Geometry in World Famous Logos
Sacred geometry is a map of the invisible. It’s the structures and patterns, atomic and galactic, that define forms and systems. Understanding sacred geometry gives meaning to life, and simplifies navigating through an increasingly complex world. Consciousness is fractal and holographic. Patterns repeat themselves, by definition, in species and objects, in social systems, in behavior, and in cycles of change. They manifest as symbols—in business brands, in art and architecture, in mythology, and music, and religion, in number and word.

Are you Awake? YouTube campaign
Seeking Transcendent Media Collaborations
Entheogens awaken one to a higher view of reality, a holographic view, and in order to communicate the truths that transcend the current views of our culture you need Transmedia Storytelling, an entirely new form of storytelling where the inner experience as well as the outer experience is elucidated, so that a species and culture in the grip of prohibition can understand why entheogens are a powerful savior and why we need to awaken to their decriminalization.
The Secret of Synchronicity
The Buddha questioned the necessity of suffering. He is represented as having withdrawn into pure detachment, and to me there has always been something partial about this interpretation of his teaching. No-mind, in my experience, is a very heartful place. I am drawn...
