"Assemblies are portals where...flora is alive. I am introducing a West African cultural approach to alcohol consumption which is ritual, medicinal, mindful and moderate. My Assemblies are an opportunity to explore the very idea of ‘spirit’. The history of distilled spirits is alchemical and to me occupies a very powerful nexus at which spirituality and science meet...And the events do feel spiritual but they’re also very warm, rigorous and engaging. It is social medicine."
