«“The contributors write passionately on what each of us can do to restore the natural harmony so the full diversity of species can flourish. No easy answers but an amazing amount of wisdom, especially from Indigenous traditions who have incorporated psychedelic visions and insights into their cultural matrix for hundreds of years. Reading this book will leave you sobered, inspired, and determined to do what you can. Truth telling is often uncomfortable, but nothing moves us forward more forcefully.”»

James Fadiman, Ph.D., author of The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide

«“The breadth of perspectives offered by each of the contributors helps balance the daunting and inescapable challenges of our planetary crisis.”»

Selma Holden, M.D., integrative physician at Good Medicine Collective

«“Comprehensive perspectives on the current evolution of human consciousness, now increasingly catalyzed by the competent, respectful use of psychedelic substances. Not only do these visionary essays educate and enlighten the reader, but they also somehow dampen our cynicism and invite courage to affirm life with courage and hope.”»

William A. Richards, Ph.D., author of Sacred Knowledge

«“This book is an extraordinary overview of the promise psychedelics have for opening our hearts, seeing our self-imposed, culturally reinforced spiritual blindness, and waking us to the creative possibilities for our collective future.”»

Alex Grey, author of Sacred Mirrors

«“A stirring and timely call for humanity to co-creatively unite in altruistic service and give birth to a regenerative whole-systems planetary culture--a shared experience of reverence and respect for all our relations, human and nonhuman, seen and unseen. I predict this remarkable book will quickly become required reading in the hands of all entheogen-honoring servants of the Great Work--HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”»

Oscar Miro-Quesada, author, kamasqua curandero, and founder of the Heart of the Healer

Pamela Kryskow, M.D., founding member of the Psychedelic Association of Canada

«“An authentic, heartfelt, and spiritually inspired work! Stephen Gray has put together an eloquent collection of writings by those who are deeply connected to the spirit of nature in all her glory. Each contributor shares marvelous insights into what it means to be human in our age of potential accelerated psycho-spiritual evolution. Will we meet the challenge? This book is one more step on that path. The time is now. Tune in, energize, evolve, and engage.”»

Keith Lowenstein, M.D., author of Kriya Yoga for Self-Discovery

«“Ever since the 1960s, psychedelic enthusiasts have claimed that if you turn on the world, the world will change for the better. Now that plant medicines and magic molecules are hitting the global mainstream, this flowering is arguably closer than ever before. But we need more than high hopes to bring on the bloom. The voices in this stellar collection--young Turks, old heads, First Peoples, doctors of science and Spirit--fan the flames of possibility with the courage, vision, and canny wisdom demanded by the task.”»

Erik Davis, author of High Weirdness

«“Gray has once again assembled a truly inspired group of top thinkers in the psychedelic renaissance to contribute to this timely and important work. As psychedelics become more mainstream and corporate interests, venture capitalists, and ignorant ‘influencers’ attempt to sink their fangs into a culture they know nothing about, books like this one serve as an important counterweight to amplify the voices of those who truly love, respect, and understand the dynamics of plant and fungal medicines.”»

Thomas Hatsis, author of LSD--The Wonder Child

«“Often--but not solely--informed by their skillful use of psychedelic sacraments, these twenty-five brilliant contributors show how we can awaken our hearts and minds and work toward creating a world we and our descendants can embrace and rejoice in.”»

David Bronner, CEO of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps and psychedelic philanthropist

«“This book is a call to action. Gray has put together a much-needed collection of hopeful essays, images, poetry, and prayers to inspire us to forge through our suffering into an awakening of the conscious and unconscious collective.”»
