the practicalities

At the heart of my paleophenomenological methodology lies a commitment to exploring the intricate relationship between consciousness, creativity, and our ancestral past. My aim is not only to explore the past but to inspire a renewed appreciation for the threads that bind us to our ancestors and their creative expressions, but also the applied methodology of merging different disciplines.

​

​

I offer a dynamic range of presentations, lectures, and workshops that explore paleophenomenology, which I consider to be an innovative framework designed to bridge the past and present through an embodied understanding of the roles of various disciplines. Whether you're attending a brief presentation, an in-depth lecture, or a fully immersive workshop, my goal is to guide participants through a multidisciplinary exploration of our ancestral impulses — the need to create, to leave a mark, and the profound moment of awareness that arises in the process of doing so.

​

Presentations provide an engaging introduction to the foundational concepts of paleophenomenology, perfect for academic settings or public events. These talks invite audiences to reflect on how ancient rock art and archaeological sites can reveal deeper insights into human consciousness and our shared creative heritage.

Online / 30 min + Q&A / pdf handout:

• Standard Fee: £100

• Private or Customized Presentation: should you need something tailored to your specific organization or research group and looking for a more personalized experience, fee is £300.

​

Lectures dive deeper into the theoretical and methodological aspects of this framework, offering participants a detailed understanding of how paleophenomenology can be applied in fields such as anthropology, psychology, analysis, archeology, art history, etc.

In-person / 1- to 1.5-hour incl. Q&A / pdf handout:

1. Academic Institutions Fee: £300. This fee reflects the value of bringing an innovative perspective to academia.

2. Workshops, Professional Organizations, or Corporate Settings: For in-person lectures delivered to professional groups, museums, research organizations, or corporate teams interested in the intersection of creativity, consciousness, and history: fee is £700 for a unique and thought-provoking content aimed at broadening perspectives.

3. Exclusive Events, Custom Lectures, or Private Organizations: fee is £1,600 due to the level of customization, exclusivity, and engagement provided.

Travel and preparation time are included in the fee. Probable accommodation and transport expenses contribution will be discussed singularly for events farther than 60 miles or 100 km.

​

For those seeking a hands-on experience, my workshops are designed as immersive, residential experiences where participants from various disciplines come together to engage in practical exercises, fieldwork, and collaborative discussions. These workshops foster an environment of experiential learning, where participants are encouraged to question their understanding of reality, truth, and the creative impulses that define us as humans. Each session blends lectures with outdoor activities that emphasize connection to landscape, critical reflection, and the integration of multiple perspectives in understanding ancient human expression.

Frameworks, structures, detailed plans and fees are ready for both:

    1. one long-weekend [FRI to SUN] workshop; and

    2. two-week long workshop
