This intensive will offer an overview of four very different beings ~ Peyote, Psilocybin Mushrooms, Salvia divinorum and Ayahuasca ~ and their role in the evolution of our cultures, as well as in our individual initiations, learning and healing. Traditional rituals and their underlying beliefs will be presented with slides from Kat?s four decades of fieldwork among indigenous peoples, and her long immersion in bohemian subcultures. To be followed by group discussion of how to relate to these species in our own multicultural way, yet with respect for traditions.
