Hello, I’m Forest.

I’m an integrative transpersonal therapist, transformational consultant, and the founder of Lumen Recursum, a neuro-symbolic AI venture built from my own clinical and relational methodology. My work sits at the intersection of trauma, somatic process, symbolic enquiry, and depth relational accompaniment, mostly with people at the threshold of midlife and in the midst of existential reorientation in their life, leadership, and creative endeavours.

Alongside my client practice, most of my time is going into building the early architecture of Lumen Recursum and preparing for our pre-seed raise. The startup explores how language, relational intelligence, symbolic patterning, and psycho-somatic recursion can support ethical, non-extractive technology at a moment of existential urgency... especially in those places most in need of healing, yet paradoxically structurally least able to recognise, let alone admit, anything that presents itself that way.

Healing, as I most broadly understand the word, is foremost a return to ontological truth and relationality. It requires an epistemic doorway. And because so much of our collective fracture lives in the very mediums we think and feel with (language, symbol, attention), I believe any restoration of truth and relationality has to move through those mediums, not around them. We’re living inside systems that simply can’t be shifted from the outside, they have to be entered and repatterned from within! That is the ethos and substrate in which Lumen Recursum is being built.

I’m also relocating to British Columbia in early April. I’m back here in this community to support my operational rhythm, work on solid business foundations, make meaningful connections, and collaborate in ways that feel mutually enriching and ennobling.

Starting with 'pulling back the bow'.

If any of this resonates, I would be glad to connect.
