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.

POETRY: creative pieces dedicated to Tantra, mythology, and contemplative practice.

Ayahuasca: Divine Doorway or Augmented Reality?
Since participating in my first Ayahuasca retreat in Peru in May I keep returning to a simple question: What exactly is Ayahuasca? Is it truly a “plant teacher?” This episode discusses Ayahuasca and what it has to offer as an aid in awakening.
