What happens to ayahuasca now? Lessons for modern magic

About this episode

Gordon discusses the future of ayahuasca and its implications for modern magic.

Ayahuasca's peak cultural moment has been and gone. So what does she do now? And what are the lessons for western magic in the complex journey of this incredible plant teacher? I have some thoughts on all this mid-dieta, in the Upper Amazon. As usual, this one is also a YouTube video. You can see it here . Here's the link to the Santa Rosa centre . (The website is a little weird but this is the place!) Here's the piece I wrote after my first piñon blanco experience .
