Jodi Lomask

I am an artist in residence at the UCSF Neuroscape Lab. I keep up with the latest published research by regularly attending science conferences, hosting a think tank on psychedelics & creative process, and being in regular dialogue with leading researchers in the field.

I am a professional artist with over twenty-five years of experience, guiding more than 300 artists, scientists, and technologists through my creative process to unlock insights that lead to tangible artistic expression. My mission is to create spaces where people feel safe confronting their inner demons and confident accessing their inner guides. I am fluent in undercurrents—the subtle, often unspoken forces that shape our thoughts and actions.

I believe that a small shift at a deep enough layer of the psyche can create seismic transformations on the surface. Just as the Earth's mantle moves only two inches a year yet drives earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis, profound personal change often begins in the quietest, most foundational places. My work is about catalyzing those deep shifts, sparking creative breakthroughs, and helping people embody their fullest potential.

Entheogens have been an important part of my creative process since 1997 when I first conceived of the mission of my award-winning arts company, Capacitor. This enduring creative work has held for over two decades of artistic practice. You can see this creative work documented at capacitor.org.

Drawing on years of teaching master classes in dance, contact and theater improvisation, and choreography, I offer a fresh, embodied approach to the journey.

Whether choreographing a full-evening show, designing a steel motion sculpture, or guiding a creative journey, I've always been concerned with experience design - how to deliver a particular feeling tone to audiences, participants, and clients.

My experience as a dancer and more importantly as a dance partner directly supports my practice. I improvise with my clients to deliver the most embodied and physically liberating experience possible. This compound is Earthy and non-verbal by nature and I exploit this aspect to ground my clients in their bodies so that they can go deeper into their consciousness and nature.
