Childhood and Education

I grew up on a farm in Vestfold, Norway. I hold a master’s degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Kansas, with minors in psychology and film history. Over the past three decades psychology has been my main interest – particularly how trauma and personality issues shape our lives.

In recent years I have focused on how substances such as psilocybin and LSD can be used in meaningful ways – in the intersection between spirituality and health. I have done so through a broad body of literature, international forums and personal experiences.

Professional Focus

The main focus of my work is safety and structures around processes of consciousness change for people who wish to explore this with deep respect and care. A particularly important aspect of the project is ethical awareness and responsible risk management.

Safety Facilitation

Safety facilitation for psychedelic experiences is still a practice field without a clear professional framework. Learning takes place largely through self-study, as well as seminars, courses and conferences – often abroad.

Personal Experiences

Personally, I have benefited from therapeutic doses of psilocybin for winter depression and general anxiety – always with a careful approach in well-structured and supported processes over several years. The journey began with this article in 2017.

This is my personal experience and not intended as medical advice for others.

I have been a lifelong teetotaler – and I have not been part of the Norwegian drug debate. I therefore do not see psilocybin as a drug. This is not about escape – but about responsibility, safety and support around experiences that can contribute to improved quality of life. Used with intention, safety and respect, psilocybin is a sacred encounter.

Project Pvit

Project Pvit is not on social media and is currently being developed independently of established professional environments, though with respect for their work and with an openness for dialogue over time. It's an idealistic project – without ties to institutions or external financial stakeholders – and is fully funded by private means.
