The journey begins.

Written By Riordan Regan

As part of the application process for the TransArt Creative Research PhD program, here is my first Creative Research Journal entry.

My current research includes:

  • Taking two courses through the Advaya platform: “Queer Ecology: The Science Underground” and “The Rupert Sheldrake Course,” which explores consciousness and deconstructs the spiritualism/materialism divide.

  • Reading: “High Weirdness” by Erik Davis, which explores esoterica and psychedelia in the 1960s and ‘70s through several influential figures; “Lament of the Dead: Psychology After Jung’s Red Book” by James Hillman & Sonu Shamdasani; and “The Overstory” by Richard Powers.

  • Listening: Terence McKenna lectures; “The Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues” podcast; “Third Eye Drops” podcast.

  • Watching: The Charlie Kaufman catalog.

  • Cooking: Fresh spring greens, veggies, cheese, and salmon.
