About me

As a media professional of over 20 years, he has been involved in almost all aspects of audiovisual production, specialising in promotional music videos and album-sleeve artwork.
He is the founder of Trans- States (www.trans-states.org), a transdisciplinary conference series and network exploring occultism, mysticism, shamanism and other esoteric and spiritual practices in contemporary occulture. He is also director of Trans- States Media, their sibling media production unit.
Finally, Cavan is co-founder of the Monad project, a digital hub for archiving and sharing principles of ‘best practice’ for realising progressive change; and, co-founder and editorial board member of Monad: Journal of Transformative Practice (www.monadjournal.com) a transdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open access journal focusing on contemporary practices (and practitioners) that engage in progressive individual and/or cultural transformation.
