Mark began working with MycoMeditations in 2022, and is a certified yoga and meditation instructor.

As a promising athlete in his early adulthood in Ireland, Mark turned toward yoga to heal his body from injury. This practice taught him the power of the mind-body connection and led him into learning about Eastern spiritual practices. As his body began to heal, he also noticed a strong improvement in his psychological health. During this time, he began to recognize the power of using expanded states on consciousness as an incredibly potent avenue for personal healing.

Over the course of his journey, Mark spent several years in Latin America learning from indigenous cultures. He gained knowledge on the ancient use of psychedelic medicines during the time he spent with the Mexican Huichol, Native American and Amazonian Shipibo people. Mark has completed training in various forms of somatic-based psychotherapies, which he sees as invaluable to the integration process. More broadly, his theoretical understanding of the psyche is largely influenced by the works of Carl Jung and Stanislav Grof.
