In the Jonson street park in Byron Bay, talking with the Mob... Myban (the eagle or farsighted one) and Bundjalung custodian Louis (the Walker Between the Worlds), alongside Rak Razam and Jungian analyst Jeremiah Abrams... A deep ecology discussion synthesizes the indigenous Australian aboriginal approach to 2012, tribal hive mind, collective dreaming, contingency plans for the apocalypse and the return of the Dreamtime... 

*Warning* sound quality is scratchy and replete with windy muffles, overlapping voices and a slow start, but this kicks into deep cosmic wisdom, so stay with it. This is very strategic knowledge from the Mob, who gave rare permission for this recording to go out to the white man…

Something is brewing deep in the Amazon; and it's not just the ayahuasca vines. As spiritual tourists from the West head into the jungle in search of healing, vision, and meaning, we're faced with a very real question: what are we bringing with us, and what are we taking away?
At the heart of the CBC Radio documentary 'In Search of the Divine Vegetal', filmmakers Thomas McKinnon and Leonard Cler-Cunningham offer a unique perspective as they venture into the world of ayahuasca shamanism. Their journey yields a complex tale that transcends the stereotypical jungle brews and trippy visions. It's a narrative that delves into power, culture, medicine, and mystery, exploring the intersection of ancient plant knowledge and modern Western yearning. It's a story of two worlds with vastly different values colliding in the maloca.

In Search of the Divine Vegetal: Ayahuasca, Spirit, and the Ethics of Healing

In my lecture "Beyond Omega," I laid out a visionary perspective on the converging crises and awakenings shaking our world. Drawing from over two decades of deep ecological inquiry, Indigenous wisdom, and immersive psychedelic exploration, I didn't just diagnose the problems - I extended a sacred invitation to see them differently.

Beyond Omega: The Planetary Ceremony of Our Times

When a musician and a mystic meet on the digital vine, things are bound to get juicy. In a deeply connected conversation between Australian artist Ben Lee and entheogenic explorer Rak Razam, we dive into the story behind Aya: Awakenings, the rise of plant medicine in the West, and what it means to reconnect with the sacred in an age of distraction.

The Ayahuasca Awakening: Plant Spirit Journeys and Cultural Revival

Last night, a curious blend of ancient ceremony and modern activism came together in a powerful panel to launch the crowdfunding campaign for The God Molecule and the Shamanic Toad. This documentary explores the mystical realms of 5-MeO-DMT, its sacred use, and its potential to transform consciousness on a planetary scale.

Toad, Whale, Sun: A Shamanic Odyssey into the God Molecule

What if the world we live in is not the real world, but a dream? And what if the truth lies hidden behind the veil of ordinary consciousness, waiting to be remembered? In a profound conversation between myself, Rak Razam, and podcast host David Porter on "Death Proof," we delve into the transformative potential of plant medicines. We also explore the nature of ego and the forgotten maps of the soul. Our dialogue is not just an interview; it's a deep dive into the spiritual undercurrents of our age.
