Pride month has arrived and we kicked it off in style this year by getting our hair done at London’s most inclusive salon. Walking through the door to Not Another’s flamboyantly decorated space feels like walking into a world where everything is right, rainbow-coded decor is the norm, stylists work on wigs destined for the heads of drag queens, pronoun pins have a permanent place on the reception desk and everyone expresses themself authentically from customers to the team…

Mind, Body, Spirit Festival 2024
I’m a sucker for anything spiritual. Tarot cards, crystals, chakras- you name it and I’m there faster than you can say “mystical mumbo jumbo”. That being said, my relationship with my third eye is more of a casual flirtation than a long standing love affair. I just can’t muster the dedication to fully dive into the other realm, no matter how much I’d like to. So, as I strutted in to the Mind, Body, Spirit festival I was ready throw myself in to all the mystical madness on offer…

A Haven Of Psychedelic Art Is Coming To London
If you’ve clicked on this particular feature, you’ll probably appreciate the cosmic play that led me to find out about ‘ENTHEON’, a psychedelic exhibition by artists Alex and Allyson Grey coming to London this July. Earlier this evening, after shedding a tear over their now sold-out ‘Flesh of The Gods’ blanket (that I’ve been eyeing up since February but have been too broke to buy), I found myself gagging to feel the energy of their work up close, a quick google led me to discover that the New-York-based duo will be bringing their work in the UK for the first time ever next month, right down the road from me in Canary Wharf (what are the odds?)…

Broke Magazine’s Wild 90 Minute Experience inside Sasha Velour’s Mind
We were lucky enough to pull ourselves away from the rave and step into the mind-blowing world of Sasha Velour a few Friday’s ago. This is the queen who stole our souls with her epic lip-sync to Whitney Houston’s ‘Emotional’ seven years back in the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 9. Fast forward to today, after experiencing Sasha’s latest spectacle, ‘The Big Reveal Live Show,’ we’re left asking questions like: Is drag losing its edge? Are some drag styles getting left in the dust by the mainstream?

We Road-Tested Maria Lodetoft’s Sound Healing Session At The Mandrake, Here’s What Happened…
Walking up to the Mandrake, a luxury boutique hotel in central London where Maria Lodetoft, Head Of Spiritual Wellness there, holds her sound healing sessions, I felt a little out of place. Me and Iz aren’t exactly aligned with the ‘fancy’ lifestyle and in our matching red hoodies we stuck out like a sore thumb, so when met by the Mandrake’s doormat and welcomed into the building by a dimly-lit, artistically decorated corridor with calming, spa-like sounds, it gave us a moment to ground ourselves before ascending to the heavens and entering the fourth-floor penthouse to meet Maria…

Everything You Need To For An At-Home Magic Mushrooms Trip
En route to a DNB event last Friday, I received a voice note from a fellow Broker (shoutout to Poppy) telling me she couldn’t make it. That left me with a decision, hop on the overground and head solo raving at 338 Studios, or do a 180, tap my way back out of Hackney Central station and dip home to make the most out of the magic mushrooms stashed in my bedside table. I chose the latter, and 15 minutes later, was sat in bed, ready to embark on a journey into my inner psyche…

My Ego Death, a Trip Into the Underworld
It’s a common practice to undergo an ego death through the use of psychedelics, the idea of death and rebirth offering an profound spiritual experience, psychonauts undergoing the process multiple times in the aid of shedding all layers of our multifaceted ego, coined by many as the DMT experience. “You can have a voluntary or involuntary ego death. A voluntary ego death is when you learn and are willing to let go, that would be your own immolation, it’s like you’re a phoenix and you’re lighting yourself on fire.”
