Psychedelic Futures
What benefits can earth sacraments offer to our society? At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, in what directions are psychedelics taking us?
What can we learn from the lessons of Huxley, Leary and Kesey, et.al,
of the generations that have come before?
How can we best integrate the expanded awareness of psychedelics to
specifically tackle the challenges around us?
Is it fair to say the future will be psychedelic, or we will have no future at all?
