I'm super happy to announce the launch of my new publication 'Creative Time' - an interactive guide to Ibiza's art, culture, and creativity that gives you a passkey to unlock deeper conversations with inspiring island characters.
It's also a stirring testament to the idea that creativity is received, a paean to the belief that we need to create time in order to receive ideas and inspiration.
A new format of guide, I designed it to reframe how we experience our hyper-real world, one that is over-exposed and over-saturated by virtual content, desensitised by the urge to capture rather than connect.
'Creative Time' reclaims a sense of mystery (all of the photography is by me, revealing fragments of each place instead of the full picture), and the stories are enticing, instructive, and a little bit philosophical, giving readers background information on the ‘why’ rather than just the basic outline of ‘what’.
Much like my ColourFeel experiences, it recovers a sense of adventure and discovery. Think of it as a sort of treasure hunt where readers are given tailored clues and questions to unlock deeper conversations with the island's visionaries and eccentrics. A ‘passkey’ to help visitors bypass small-talk, ignite the spark of substance, and create real moments of human connection.
This is a limited edition publication with only 100 copies available.

✨ A #ColourFeelStory
In our age of spectacle, simulacra and simulationships, this scene from David Lynch's 2001 masterpiece #MulhollandDrive is everything.
Which of the many modern-day captivating spectacles is drawing us into a world of make-believe, distracting us from the mission that matters most?
How can we find focus -- and purpose -- in a world of ambient fictions?
Join us on May 28 at @sohofarmhouseibiza for a special moonlight movie night and multidisciplinary talk where we'll dive into questions surrounding our increasingly unreal irreality.

May 28: Episode 01
You're invited to join us at @sohofarmhouseibiza for a very special edition of moonlight cinema --- with a Lynchian plot-twist.
Starting with a multidisciplinary panel talk between a consciousness expert, artist, film-maker, and author, we’ll delve into the hypnotic power of entertainment culture, exploring how film manufactures dreams, dramas, expectations and endless fictions - then pushes us all into a world of make-believe.
We’ll then sit back for a special edition of moonlight cinema featuring David Lynch’s surrealist, spellbinding masterpiece #MulhollandDrive
Recently named #2 on The Telegraph's '50 Greatest Films of All Time', the story within a story captures Hollyweird’s alluring "dream factory", gradually blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
Limited tickets available
(and already selling fast).

This is the inaugural event of our summer-long programme. Each episode will explore our world of infinite illusions; showing people how to find purpose, fun, and focus in our modern maze of manufactured make-believe.
Hope to see you IRL and
under the stars soon.

7 years ago I learnt that we hallucinate in real time more than we could ever realise.
Then I took a tech company into the desert to teach them how to navigate the modern world's artificial artifice - our hyperreal hall of mirrors.
The plot has thickened in the years since.
This is that story.
Read it in @xarracajournal
and #TheColourFeelDispatch

An entire island issue themed around 'authenticity'.
Find my piece about #FataMorgana and finding sense in a world of virtual fakery and meta-illusion.
Well done to the entire editorial team for putting this (the sixth!) issue together.
Season Five of Another Future comes with a simple premise:
If we’re going to willingly dive into so much spectacle, simulacra, and simulationships, why not choose something better?
If everything is fiction now, why don’t we just write our own script?
Most importantly, what clouds do we need to clear from our consciousness to make space for what we’re all actually here to do?
These core questions will be ever-present as we journey towards the ultimate celestial spectacle: a total solar eclipse.

Infinite illusions everywhere.
Mass hypnosis from factory-grade fictions.
Words like these willing themselves onto the world.
Don't we deserve better than THIS?
What if we switched out all their slop?
And dreamt up a future of our own.

Remember that vintage Lincoln Limousine laying around in the back forest of La Medina?
It recently resurfaced as an auto-bestial DJ booth that feels perfectly attuned to Ibiza.
Part of a self-sustaining art project by @noiseofibiza the sound installation is also available for hire. They'll even drive themselves directly to your door.
Happy to see the limo find a more loving home.
If you haven't yet heard the story of 'La Medina', you can read the full and fantastical novela on my Substack #TheColourFeelDispatch
Languid spring days at @sonblancmenorca , bookended by soft, potent practices that help you loosen your frame.
It’s hard to grow a seed in rock, and most of us are stressed beyond our knowledge. Qi Gong is a key component of How to Remember the Future, speaking to the need to create safety in the body before planting seeds for boldly tender futures.
This particular technique, kept within the one family for 400 years before being passed to my teacher, works like a form of self-acupuncture:
creating balance in the body, cultivating vitality, and offering immediate relaxation while supporting ongoing health and longevity.
We do it like the tree: legs firmly grounded, extending downwards like roots desiring deeper earth; arms softly following the breath, torso gently seeking the sky.
Lesson #12: Make Curiosity Human Again!
In a world of fast answers and calibrated outcomes, let's lean into a little more mystery.
We know the power of a good question to unlock new levels of connection, consciousness, and community.
Simply because stepping into the unknown is the epitome of growth.
We believe that imagination shouldn’t be guard-railed by any algorithm. And we're here to show you why a little bit of mystery can go a long way.
The previous edition of Another Future Festival was yet another multi-day adventure underwritten by the trust of our participants.
We didn’t under-promise, but we definitely over-delivered; rewarding our guests with first class food, workshops, talks, music, people, places – and plenty of material gifts along the way.
Rather than over-saturate people’s expectations we encouraged people to be curious, to remember that true things always emerge, that the right questions get clearer answers.
Sound a little convoluted? Well, sometimes the bigger things in life can’t be squeezed into a pithy post on socials.
Sometimes you just have to come to Another Future to find out for yourself.
@anotherfuturefestival will return.
...VERY SOON
