We’ll explore the science of psychedelics through a lens they foster—interconnected consciousness. For millennia, shamanic societies embraced animism, seeing the universe as alive and the inner and outer worlds as one. We’ll examine neuroscience, personal development, and mystical experiences in clinical trials. We’ll also discuss the idea that humanity evolved through a symbiotic relationship with psilocybin mushrooms and how psychedelics serve as ecological modulators that can restore collective balance through conscious use.
