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.

PROSE: contemplative essays that explore the intersection of wisdom traditions, meditation and plant medicines.
POETRY: creative pieces dedicated to Tantra, mythology, and contemplative practice.

The Promise and Purpose of Meditation
The purpose of meditation is to recognize that the deeper causes and conditions for happiness and well being have far more to do with how your mind is relating to experience, rather than having the right kind of experience. Ultimately, the promise of meditation is to awaken to our true nature and to see clearly what makes us happy and what makes us suffer.
