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.

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.
