PINTS AND PARABLES

If you subscribe to Patreon, you will get access to a series of Pints and Parables events where Peter shares some of his favorite stories from around the world. In addition to hearing the parables, you’ll also hear commentary and discussion about the ideas they contain. In addition to this, you’ll also find a three part series that explores the art of writing parables. This course not only breaks down what a parables is, but offers concrete lessons on how to set about making your own. You will also have access to future events.

Pyroseminars and courses

In addition to monthly seminars you can also get access to hundreds of hours of reading groups, discussion forums and courses. All designed to help you go deeper into the subversive and transformative heart of pyrotheology. These are not simply designed to provide intellectual stimulation, but also to help offer tools for living in a more meaningful way. Using the insights of disciples such as philosophy and psychoanalysis, the material is designed to help deepen your knowledge of both the outer world and the inner world.

COFFEE AND CONCEPTS

Coffee and Concepts is an online interactive event that takes place on the first Saturday of every month. Each session begins with the introduction of a concept that is then dissected and discussed. These morning events (depending on where in the world you are) are designed to help kick your day off with an important philosophical concept picked specifically to offer insight into how we might live, love and labour well. A concept that will also connect with the work and world of pyrotheology.

Spark

For $3 or more, you'll join the Spark club. This gets you into the private online community forum where you get access to all sorts of amazing conversations. It's a place to meet people, discuss ideas, find like-minded souls and build community. In the community you’ll meet all sorts of wonderful rejects and wanderers. I’ll also be offering regular posts on a whole range of issues. We'll delve into philosophy, theology, politics and the personal.  All designed to help you think, live and love. I'll be writing new material as well as sharing reworked reflections from a blog I ran from 07 - 17.

Flame

For a couple of dollars more Flame gets you everything from the previous reward level as well as monthly pyro-seminars. In addition to this you get access to monthly Coffee and Concepts and Pints and Parables events as well as access to The Study. The Study provides an online space for people to facilitate discussions, set up reading groups, offer guided reflections or even host social gatherings.

Blaze

In addition to the previous rewards, Blaze gives you access to all the online courses I've run to date. This amounts to over 40 hours of material and will continue to grow. You'll also get access to courses like Atheism for Lent, The Omega Course, and Friendly Fire. In addition to this, you'll have exclusive access to book studies I run throughout the year.

Inferno

Inferno gives you everything. Plus I'll send you an audiobook of The Orthodox Heretic, some Happy Reaper and Absurd Cross Pins, Rapture Tracts, Parable Pencils and a signed book with a personal thank you message. I'll also send you anything I create in the future. You can also expect the VIP treatment if you attend an event I'm running (just let me know in advance and I'll put you on the guest list).

Scorched earth

This crazy level is for people who have the resources and desire to see pyrotheology really move forward. I will be using this money to directly pay for studio space and new technology, as well as to free me up to do more free events. 

This level is not about getting some extra special reward, like a ticket out of purgatory, or a chapel of despair built in your name. It's for individuals and communities that have the finances to help me create build something lasting. This money will be poured into studio space, new projects and better technologies. I would however love to offer you quarterly phone calls to discuss anything that you'd like.

Joining as a Patreon supports my work in Pyrotheology. You also get access to exclusive content and early content. Here’s a example of the type of lectures you’ll receive,
