Update on In-person Patron events (Patreon)

First of all, I want to thank all of you for the amazing support over the years. To my pleasant surprise, you steadily achieved several Patreon milestones that I had set.

The goal for an in-person Patron event was reached all the way back in December of 2019! As soon as this happened, I started planning it for mid 2020…

Anyway, several world-changing events later, we’re in 2025 and I still haven’t made good on the promise I made back then. After a lot of reflection, I have decided to cancel it entirely.

There will not be any in-person Patron events

I’m very sorry for not delivering on the promise I had made to you with the goals/milestones I set.

While the current situation in the world plays a part in this (politics, changes in the acceptance of hypnosis), as well as the practical efforts of setting up an event like this, the main reason I’ve decided to cancel is because I don’t think it is appropriate to have an event focused solely on me.

The conferences and events I’ve participated in before, with a team of presenters and organizers, allowed for a much safer space with separation of safety crew and presenters.

I wouldn’t be able to do that if the event is run and presented solely by me. Hypnosis is a kink that requires extra considerations related to safety and consent. Those matter more than my excitement of talking to my fans.

Another big reason is that I have learned a lot more about the issue of trust for a listener and interacting with me directly. Do they recognize that the voice in the file, and the trust they place in that voice, should not be transferred to me personally?

I want everyone to be able to safely enjoy what I make. That means stepping back sometimes.

The Patreon Goals Are No More

Patreon removed the goals/milestones feature in May of 2023. Anyone that started supporting me after that may not even have known that these goals existed. Despite this, I still felt it was important to update everyone about plans that have been made in the past and mentioned during various Live streams.

Thank you for your patience and support. It is, as always, humbling.
