Is it a Dharma book\, is it sci-fi\, is it autobiography?  On March 21st\, 2026\, at the Spring Equinox—the moment of perfect balance between light and dark\,  when new growth becomes inevitable\, when what has been dormant underground breaks through into manifestation – we gather virtually to celebrate the much-anticipated arrival of Psynauts Vol 1: The Source!  Through dramatic readings\, visual media\, and guided experience\, you’ll be initiated into the Psynaut way of seeing—where ordinary reality becomes transparent to deeper truths. This isn’t just a book launch. It’s the activation of a teaching that Elbud spent 30 years preparing to deliver—wisdom refined through thousands of meditation hours\, countless retreats\, and direct transmission from enlightened masters. Qapel chose story because\, as he says in the book\, “Sometimes the ego’s defenses are so strong\, wisdom needs to sneak in through the back door.” On March 21st\, that door opens! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sneak Peek!

A respected teacher in the Buddhist tradition\,  Qapel has crafted a unique narrative that makes ancient wisdom accessible to modern seekers.   A Dharma teacher known for his compassion\, humor\, and fearless wisdom\, Qapel was a lineage holder who studied with Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche for nearly thirty years. He led retreats around the world\, and co-founded Clear Sky Retreat Center in the BC Rockies.   A lifelong wanderer\, Qapel began exploring as a child—often requiring police escorts home.

A respected teacher in the Buddhist tradition\,  Qapel has crafted a unique narrative that makes ancient wisdom accessible to modern seekers.   A Dharma teacher known for his compassion\, humor\, and fearless wisdom\, Qapel was a lineage holder who studied with Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche for nearly thirty years. He led retreats around the world\, and co-founded Clear Sky Retreat Center in the BC Rockies.   A lifelong wanderer\, Qapel began exploring as a child—often requiring police escorts home. Over his decades as a teacher\, he helped many students integrate ancient wisdom with contemporary understandings. The Psynauts trilogy represents Qapel’s first work of fiction—a culmination of decades of spiritual insight. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Are you a Psynaut?Answer these honestly: Have you always felt like you don’t quite belong in “ordinary” reality? Do you sense there’s something more—but the usual spiritual answers feel incomplete? Does the idea of consciousness traveling between worlds feel strangely familiar? Have you been searching for teachings that honor both ancient wisdom and cosmic possibility? Did finding this page feel like more than coincidence? If you answered yes to even one of these… You may already be a Psynaut—you just haven’t remembered yet. March 21st is your remembering.
