Writer · Facilitator · Joyful Interconnectionist

Scott Andrew Mackey

Everything is connected. The crystalline river, the pouting senator, the sweet woman crying in the back of the room, the oak tree that was here before you or I breathed our first breath. Our interconnection is the foundational truth of reality, and I believe most of our suffering -- private, social and political -- comes from living as if it weren't.

I.

How I Serve

Every day I practice laughter, gratitude and prayer -- embracing both the sacred and profane. And I invest my time in three paths, each supporting the others.

Facilitate

I facilitate sober and psychedelic journeys, walking people through their hardest times and into the best, most loved and loving version of themselves.

Work with me

Build

I build momentum behind a new ism: interconnectionism. The Interconnectionism Pod is how this breathes.

The podcast

Write novels

I tell allegorical stories that use the ridiculous absurdity of human existence to illustrate the lies and illusions we accept under the banner of "modernity" and "this is just the way it is."

The novels

My life is my art and my gift, and I hope you'll come create with me.

A Bit About Me

I grew up a missionary kid, and my search for real Truth led me into mysticism and then away from God entirely. I spent fifteen years searching for meaning through politics (the Obama campaigns), achievement, and distraction -- doing anything to avoid actually feeling. I rediscovered God after Ayahuasca reminded me to seek the silent voice within and to connect to the God-in-All, the thread in the single web connecting all existence. I often meet God in nature: connecting to it, listening to it, and working with it as teacher and kin.

My circular journey, from dogma to disillusionment to a renewed encounter with God, now fuels my purpose: helping people meet their true selves and the God who shaped and loves them. My work includes writing, one-on-one guidance and facilitation, pro bono sessions for underserved communities, and an ongoing exploration of how worldviews are formed, shattered, healed, and reborn.

I serve as a guardian in a medicine community, serve financially vulnerable individuals through Mercy Trips, and facilitate both sober journeys and journeys with sacred plants and magical molecules. My approach is trauma-informed and psycho-somatic, rooted in emotional mastery, and always comes back to connecting with self, each other, earth and God. I move with a light touch -- holding a strong, safe space while trusting people and the medicine.

I'm also the author of Love Is Not the Answer, an allegorical exploration of spirituality, fractured culture, and personal transformation.

III. Work With Me

The Heart of Love

Medicine Journey · one on one

Allow yourself to be slowly, carefully and exquisitely brought into the feeling and the reality of being a child of God who is loved and is love, unable to earn or lose the unconditional love of your creator. This is bliss.

And it provides the safest space imaginable to explore your grief, your pain, your trauma, and the suspicion many hold that they don't actually deserve to feel as good and as loved as this experience makes you feel. From this place of embodied bliss, we journey together deep into the reality of who you are. There will be laughter, tears, and everything in between, and many people walk away calling it one of the best and most important experiences of their lives.
