MEDITATION
NONDUAL TANTRA
PLANT MEDICINE
“Enlightenment is intimacy with all things.”
-Dogen Zenji
How can meditation and psychedelics connect us more deeply to ourselves, others and nature?
How can working with plant medicines such as Ayahuasca and Soma through a nondual contemplative approach allow us to more skillfully prepare for, navigate and integrate these powerful journeys?
Our written works explore an open source approach to meditation, psychedelics, and the Nondual Tantric traditions of Vajrayana Buddhism and Shaiva Shakta Tantra.
This view of awakening is rooted in an appreciation of art & aesthetics and invites us to deepen into the profound sense of freedom and connection that is always and already available.
PROSE: contemplative essays that explore the intersection of wisdom traditions, meditation and plant medicines.
POETRY: creative pieces dedicated to Tantra, mythology, and contemplative practice.

Neither is right nor wrong in an absolute sense, but the issue is what to emphasize at any given time.
