We hear from psychedelic visionaries Christopher Bache, Zoe Helene, Wade Davis, Chris Kilham, Laurel Sugden, and others on the promise of psychedelic medicines for spiritual and healing work. We learn about Indigenous stories to support our transformation from Native American leader Solana Booth, ancestral memory from Grandmother Maria Alice Campos Freire, cannabis’s role in world building from Minelli Eustàcio-Costa, the ritual roots of talking plants from Michael Stuart Ani, and alchemy across the arc of time from shaman Ya’Acov Darling Khan. We also hear from cannabis grower The Dank Duchess; Tyson Yunkaporta, Australian Aboriginal artist and scholar; visionary artist Martina Hoffmann; activist Duane Elgin; Kohenet Rachel Kann, ordained Jewish priestess and ceremonialist; and several other wise leaders for our time. Throughout these profound essays we are reminded of the immense healing intelligence of our plant allies, of the wisdom of shamanic practices, of the importance of the Divine Feminine for environmental regeneration, and of the crucial role of entheogenic plants in initiating transformations of consciousness and healing our world’s collective disconnection from Spirit.

Reading this book will leave you sobered, inspired, and determined to do what you can. Truth telling is often uncomfortable, but nothing moves us forward more forcefully.” ― James Fadiman, Ph.D., author of The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide “The breadth of perspectives offered by each of the contributors helps balance the daunting and inescapable challenges of our planetary crisis.” ― Selma Holden, M.D., integrative physician at Good Medicine Collective “This book is an extraordinary overview of the promise psychedelics have for opening our hearts, seeing our self-imposed, culturally reinforced spiritual blindness, and waking us to the creative possibilities for our collective future.” ― Alex Grey, author of Sacred Mirrors “Comprehensive perspectives on the current evolution of human consci
