A four-part webinar covering the history and philosophy of psychedelics, taught by the author of Breaking Open the Head.
The first part returns to the ancient beginnings of plant shamanism and to Pinchbeck’s own initiations in Gabon, Ecuador and Brazil. The course then follows the repression of visionary plants and of intuition itself through medieval Europe, and the recovery of psychedelics in the late twentieth century.
It closes on the present: an extraordinary renaissance in psychedelic research, with hundreds of new companies and substantial funding behind them — and what someone entering that field now needs to know about where it came from.
