About the speaker, William Bloom

William has been a student of the mysteries since his teens, exploring these dimensions through trance, deep meditation, psychedelics, ceremony and reading. His background includes a two-year off-grid retreat in the High Atlas Mountains of southern Morocco, a doctorate in social psychology from the London School of Economics and ten years working with adult special needs — so his metaphysics is grounded in a clear and realistic understanding of human psychology.

He was number 36 on Watkins 2020 list of the '100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People' and is one of the UK’s leading writers and educators in the field of spirituality and wellbeing. With his workshops and trainings, he has helped many thousands of people.

He is the founder and director of the Spiritual Companions Trust and author of 26 books including the international bestsellers Psychic Protection, The Endorphin Effect and The Power of Modern Spirituality. He is a Fellow of the Findhorn Foundation, Europe’s leading eco-spirituality centre, and a trustee of Glastonbury Abbey. He has recently pioneered the first vocational qualification in spirituality and health to be on the government Ofqual Register.
