My name is Holly Regan, and I’m a writer, editor, and journalist. I tell stories about people that explore higher truths through our experiences with consciousness-altering substances: food, drink, and entheogens.

I focus on the stories of underrepresented people with an emphasis on queer and gender identity, positioned at the intersection of food, beverage, and entheogen-centered stories with socio-economic and historical commentary. My work appears in Whetstone Magazine, Good Beer Hunting, Eater Seattle, Unearth Women, and October, and I co-authored with my mentor, Richard Parker, for The New York Times.

I am a native of Seattle, Washington, but live as a digital nomad in various places around the world. I have spent the most time in the U.K., which I dearly love; I also lived in Austin, Texas for seven years. In former timelines, I was a barista; held a series of unglamorous food-service jobs; worked at bicycle shops; and co-hosted cheese-pairing pop-ups with my good pal.

In this incarnation, I identify as queer and gender-expansive; above all, I am a spiritual seeker. I’m also an artist, runner, cook, beer nerd, celebrator, anthropologist, social justice advocate, and tree-hugging hippie.
