My name is Ashton K. Arnoldy. Since childhood I have been drawn to what the ancient Greeks referred to as τὰ μυστήρια, leading me to places as seemingly disparate as the Amazon jungle, the remains of Plato's Ἀκαδημία, the Goetheanum in Switzerland, and, for many years now, the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, where I completed a PhD in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program. I currently teach for that program on the history of consciousness, media-and-technology, western esotericism, and philosophy. 

 

Like any θεουργός, I have always combined speculation with craft, or τέχνη, ranging from scholarly and creative writing, copy, video production, to djing parties and events. If you are interested in working together in some capacity—whether for creative direction, event curation, or playing a set—please reach out to me at the address below. You can also find me on Substack and other social media platforms @micr0k0sm.
