All narrative is a lie. The truth can only be heard in the pauses between words. In stillness. When we recognise our own breath.
Welcome to Poets, Mavericks & Prophets, a manufacturer of philosophical mischief, psychological acrobatics, alchemical art projects & esoteric master plans. Its mission is to spark insights, warm heart fiddles & dance with you through this valley of transformation, our Mother Earth.
PMaPs regular offering are soul nuggets, ephemeral impressions picked up in moments when the self & the anima mundi aligned – gathered as micro blog posts below, scribbled & shared throughout the years as I went about the business of being a human. A psychological diary and a spirit to-do list, in one.
If you fancy reading art manifestos & surfing poetry, digging into phantasmagorical stories, exploring myth, storytelling & psychology, choosing your film food wisely, or jingling apodcast on the magical real while you’re on the road, it’s all here, or linkedsomewhere, give it a look and a whirl. For anyone searching for a creative boost, in situ, PMaPs is launching alchemical workshops, coming soon to a reality near you.
With hope that you find what you are looking for on this site – and in life. Sweet travels.
Poets, Mavericks & Prophets presents:

Notes On Alchemical Psychology – a series of texts dedicated to personal creative therapeutic work, merging the old ways & the new. A scribe’s pilgrimage through the spheres of elegant, respectable left brain academia, into the wild, ephemeral mysteries of the right hemisphere.
Lola On Film – deconstructs the spectacle, measures empty calories & offers nutritional insights on film, film culture & cinema’s place in society, as well as in our individual psychology. Reviews, articles, filmology. Go see what Lola says…
психолола*workshops – creative spaces for group/individual psychological work & joyful inspiration, fusing various art forms, tales from the vaults of our planetary heritage, and assorted alchemical symbolism – traditional & personal, through storytelling, artistic expression & play. Lectures, conversations & practical exercises. Planned as group workshops in Serbia and the UK, and as individual consultations online. To be launched in September, as the current planetary situation allows.{more info coming soon}

The ignorant is unfortunate, but based in reality. People really don’t know, and don’t care. The pseudointellectual is unfortunate, and based on fantasy. People think they know, and pretend they care.
