Born into an intentional community in the US, Eric grew up inside an experiment, witnessing firsthand both the power and the fragility of idealistic enterprise. After university, years of immersion in traditional communities across Latin America and Africa deepened his understanding of what it might mean to be more than a society of isolated individuals; what it might mean to be fully human. The last fifteen years in Basque Country have rooted him in a culture with hundreds of years of experience in creating carefully organized forms of communal thriving, from shared farm labor to the worlds largest worker-owned cooperative, Mondragón.

His work as a psychedelic therapist is the catalyst for the Mycelium project, which brings together Cooperative Business, Communal Living, Reciprocal Land Management, and Sustained Inner Work to create an iterative blueprint for profound change. In this session he will chart a clear and actionable path, from cognitive sovereignty to collective resilience
