And its no wonder: despite having access to the latest wellness trends and advances in technology, were no healthier, happier, or more meaningfully connected. Psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, and LSD--as well as other time-tested techniques with the power to shift consciousness such as drumming, meditation, and vision quests--are now being recognized as potent catalysts for change and healing. But how do we ensure that were approaching them effectively? Fran oise Bourzat--a counselor and experienced guide with sanctioned training in the Mazatec and other indigenous traditions--and healer Kristina Hunter introduce a holistic model focusing on the threefold process of preparation, journey, and integration. Drawing from more than thirty years of experience, Bourzats skillful and heartfelt approach presents the therapeutic application of expanded states, without divorcing them from their traditional contexts.
