HIGHER SELF EXPERIENCE
Welcome to our new blueprint, as the future signals a new era for self healing
The origin of Higher Self- a letter from our founder
Since 2018, I’ve been exploring the intersection of ritual, spiritual practice, biohacking, natural beauty, wellness tech, healing modalities through my platform, Higher Self Care. What began as a weekly newsletter soon grew into a dedicated site where longform editorial, personal reflections on healing and self-development, sat side by side with select wellness reports, mood playlists and more journalling. Along the way, I had the privilege of highlighting BIPOC and female founders, interviewing experts and healers, and building a community interested in the vast concept of self care.
Wishing to hold space for this growing community, this writing project soon evolved into real-world events where I hosted sensory experiences, moderated live panel talks and collaborated with like-minded brands helping them to tell their story. I interviewed international healers and teachers for talk series and festivals, curated tea ceremonies, guided visualisations, rituals and crystal meditations. One of my favourite experiences was co-creating a multi-sensory event with Secular Sabbath, Majestic Disorder Magazine and Sun Potion. We engaged in silence for 4 hours hosting live ambient music, massage, and adaptogenic elixirs designed to engage all the senses.
Since then, I’ve witnessed a powerful shift in the wellness industry- one that integrates emerging technologies, changing philosophies, and a broader understanding of what it means to be ‘well’. This evolution has prompted a reimagining of my own self care, going deeper into facets of healing and being divinely guided by my intuition to write more. As new ideas and tools began reshaping the Higher Self realm, I felt called to expand my focus and step into what’s next for this platform.
An evolved identity
I’m pleased to usher in Higher Self Experience, a new chapter that builds on the foundation of what Higher Self Care stood for, but with a broader lens- one that embraces radical self transformation, optimisation, and questions the boundaries of human longevity. It’s about moving beyond self-care routines to discover how we can truly enhance our mental, physical, and emotional capacities through our own research and discoveries. It’s a way of living with intention, where data meets intuition, non-duality meets spirit, and technology meets nature. Higher Self Experience is where these ideas come together and I’m excited to explore this new frontier with you.
HSE will explore and question the convergence of biohacking, holistic health, and timeless healing traditions, asking how ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science might inform one another. Get ready to dive into opinion pieces, inspiring interviews and cutting-edge trend reports as we continue to explore nutrition, healing, energy practices, meditation, planet-kind living and beyond. We’ll meet the brands leading the charge in these areas, and speaking to the founders behind them to see what drives them.
To me, modern wellness isn’t just about metrics or performance; it’s about understanding the multitudes of the human experience and how that comes together as a whole. The kind of healing we seek evolves daily, shaped by our inner landscape, and Higher Self Experience is a refined place to explore, realign and expand those possibilities. Always meeting you where you’re at and a space where your journey is always honoured. HSE exists to explore, connect, and illuminate the non-linear path of healing in modern times. I’m looking forward to continuing it’s evolution.
