​Early Life

​

I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1985. When my parents separated at age 8, I moved to Cape Town with my mother and sister. I attended school there for several years before dropping out at 15, driven by a burning desire to one day build companies.

​

I would later discover that I had lived the first 30+ years of my life with undiagnosed autism. Those years were profoundly challenging: I was often labeled as having intellectual or behavioral deficits, and efforts to force me through the conventional school system felt traumatic and mismatched. Yet the eventual diagnosis proved liberating. Understanding myself allowed me to channel my focus effectively, turning what had once been a source of pain into a powerful advantage in pursuing my goals.

​

My upbringing was marked by financial privilege and intense expectations. I grew up in a family of business owners in the non-ferrous metals smelting and refining industry, with a well-known father who had represented South Africa in rugby. The environment was high-pressure and demanding, especially for a child that was very comfortable staring at a wall, "daydreaming" most of the time, as it was called. I look back now and see it as obsessive contemplation.

​

I attended six different schools and was kicked out of two of them for not complying to the space, time, and energy demands of those authorities, this they labeled as ADHD. By the time "school" was finally over I couldn't care less, I saw the entire institution as a waste of time.

​

I cycled through a few small business ventures in Cape Town until my father convinced me that Johannesburg is the place to live if I want to take business seriously. And so, at 19, I packed my bags and flew to the financial capital of Africa, and launched my first venture in the scrap metal industry, partnering 50/50 with my father—a man who was inspiring, ruthlessly ambitious, remarkably wise, and, at times, psychotically psychologically abusive. By age 21, after unresolvable disputes, he dissolved our company and restructured it into a new entity, stripping me of my ownership. That perceived betrayal marked the beginning of the end of our relationship and would eventually fuel my drive to understand human behavior.

​

Painful as it felt, the experience became a blessing. It forced me to rebuild—no trucks, little capital, just relentless door-to-door hustle. In less than two years, I had created a larger company than the first, this time with sole ownership. Independence and freedom became my greatest rewards. By my mid-20s, the business had grown into a small organization employing around 40 people. This position of responsibility proved to be short-lived. A few years later, circumstances shifted dramatically, ushering in the next phase of my journey.

Discovering depth

​​

At age 26, everything changed.

​

In the early hours of a Sunday morning, as the sun prepared to rise after a weekend of clubbing with friends, I was invited to consume psilocybin mushrooms for the first time. We gathered around a fire, encircled in quiet anticipation. I had been sleep-deprived for days, unknowingly priming my mind and body for what was to come.

​

As the effects took hold, a kaleidoscope of colors unfolded before me—shimmering leaves, vibrant patterns dancing in the dawn light. More than visuals, though, came an unexpected mental clarity and a profound sense of psychological expansion. A wondrous awe washed over me as I realized the depth of this inner experience. It wasn't a full ceremonial dose, but it was enough to shift my perspective permanently. For the first time, I truly discovered the powerful psychological and spiritual potential of psychedelics.

​

From that sunrise onward until age 28, I sought out as many ceremonies as possible. Eventually, I began facilitating them myself. In the beginning, I approached the practice with deference to traditional shamanic cultures and settings, often placing myself in a subordinate role. Over time, however, I began to see much of that world as influenced by one-sided, fantasy-driven delusions and addictive patterns. While I set aside the often-limited insights offered by "shamans," I retained a deep respect for those genuine experts skilled in crafting intentional set and setting—the deliberate design of environments that foster safe, meaningful, and transformative experiences. This path of discovery would go on to become my life purpose.

 

​

Discovering formulas

​

Shortly after my discovery of ceremonies, I was introduced to and attended an evening seminar by Dr. John Demartini and was instantly captivated by his teachings. Over the next two years, I immersed myself completely, attending every available program multiple times: The Breakthrough Experience, Prophecy, and Empyreance. These experiences reshaped my values, revealed the immense potential of the mind, and aligned seamlessly with the vision I was forming.​

​​​​​

​

Transformation

​​

In my view, the above two discoveries stand as the greatest revelations a human can have: the realization of a systematic process for equilibrating and mastering the mind, and direct experiential access to its vast depths through carefully facilitated ceremonies. They fundamentally altered my destiny, unlocking levels of clarity, purpose, and transformation I had never imagined possible.

​

By age 28, my values had shifted dramatically. The pursuit of ascending through astral realms became an all-consuming obsession, eclipsing every other aspect of life.

​

In early 2014, this inner pull culminated in a radical choice: I deliberately released myself from all social, familial, and business obligations. I also set ceremonies aside—not from any moral judgment, but because I could no longer contain the intensity of my mind or reliably navigate the psychological terrain of ordinary daily life. One might say I had overused them during the intense discovery phase that preceded this turning point; whether that label fits probably depends on the observer. Having known only this path, I hold no strong opinion either way—indifference feels closest to the truth. Like any serious journey, it brought both profound pain and pleasure.

​

I relinquished ownership of my companies, along with most of my material possessions, choosing instead years of near-total solitude in service of what had become the only priority that still mattered.

​

​

Solitude

​

From that point onward, I continued to receive a monthly income—unattached to the companies, which my sister went on to own and direct.

​

My journey into solitude began in Houston, following an inner calling. There, I entered an altered state of consciousness that devolved into a prolonged catatonic and psychotic episode. It culminated in a brutal awakening a year and a half later: I emerged in a hospital after emergency surgery for a ruptured cervical disc that had compressed my spinal cord throughout that period. The mysteries of the mind had proven so overwhelming for my then relatively un-evolved self, I managed to loose contact with my body for a while.

​

At age 30, after hospitalization and a humbling realization, I emerged better equipped for what became another decade of more balanced, regulated solitude. I approached the inner workings of my mind more cautiously going forward.

 

Over the entire 12 year period I lived in Houston, Cusco, and Sayulita; traveled to Australia and Europe; and spent most of my time moving across Southern Africa, staying alone in simple cottages or guesthouses.

​

For the next 10 years post-hospitalization, my focus was the continuous, undistracted extraction and equilibration of unequilibrated perceptions—an endless process, yet one marked by definitive endpoints and the emergence of new, valuable perspectives that justified the path.

 

A profound transformation unfolded: shifting from "How can I use this knowledge for myself?" to "How can I serve others with this knowledge?" Eventually, a clear vision crystallized—not to share this with the world, but to deliver these insights to a select group of deserving individuals.

​

Here we enter the esoteric. Simply describing what I learned over more than a decade of solitude is impossible. I can only offer this as an invitation: to those willing to spend time with me directly. What I will say is that it proved far more profound than I ever anticipated—the spheres of the mind are real, and progression through them is possible.

​

​

Service

​

Today, at age 40, I serve inspired individuals who sense they are ready for some of the most uncompromising, hardcore teachings and experiences in consciousness exploration available anywhere.

​

I facilitate exclusive 30-day introductory journeys on a private estate in the mountains of the Eastern Free State, South Africa—near the breathtaking Golden Gate Highlands National Park. These immersions are designed for powerful, committed individuals capable of grasping the potential of a logarithmically evolving mind.

​

If you would love to spend extended time with someone who specializes in what truly unfolds within the mind as one progresses through its higher spheres, this path may be for you.

​

Upon successful completion of the 30-day journey, participants gain access to ongoing support: personalized consultations, custom-designed journeys (solo and group), advanced teachings, and sacred ceremonies.

​

What I offer is not for the casually curious. It is reserved for those who have already demonstrated unwavering dedication and readiness through rigorous prior experience.
