The soundtrack is a dynamic range of musical experiences from various artists, carefully curated to engage your soul, with heartwarming melodies, ambient spaces and pulsing rhythms.
Simon will also give a live presentation on insights about his creative inspiration, tools, process and integration of plant medicines. His partner, Jane Calm, a somatic therapeutic counselor, will give a presentation on everyone’s inherited access to psychic abilities.
