Aaron is a curator of non-ordinary consciousness. He recently began bridging his artistic life into the medicine space. After 14 years in Chicago as a theatre artist, he moved to Asheville 8 years ago and co-founded the American Myth Center, a nonprofit performing arts organization now focusing on activist puppetry. Coming out of the pandemic, he co-founded A Different Myth, a nonprofit play development program for emerging Black playwrights now in its second cohort. During this time, he also taught acting, directing, and playscript analysis in the drama department at the University of North Carolina Asheville. Having spent his last chapters as a theatre artist, teaching artist, and activist artist, Aaron is bringing his knowledge of deep listening, creative imagination, and intimate empathy into the medicine space. Starting in 2025, Aaron is opening Creative Curation LLC, his own authentic offering for this ever-growing ecosystem. He is a Third Wave Psychedelic Certified Coach (CCP6), a Certified Elemental Rhythm Breathwork Facilitator, has a BA in English & Drama from Duke University, and an MFA in Directing from Northwestern University.
