Since enlightenment is already present in all beings, it’s something we’re all capable of realizing.

The word “psychedelic” was coined in 1956 by British psychiatrist Humphry Osmond

Psychedelic is derived from Greek — psyche (soul or mind) and delien (“to manifest”). The word essentially means “mind-manifesting” or “soul manifesting”

In an era where information on any subject is always within arm’s length, we’re unknowingly limiting our ability to learn because we only discover the answers to the questions we think to ask.

Books guide you to questions you haven’t even considered. So we made a list of our favorites:

Kava is the antidote for the pressures of modern society.

Most people are burning the candle at both ends — we’re overworked and anxious during the day and don’t get anywhere near enough sleep at night.

This humble herb addresses both issues.

Datura is one of the most powerful (and dangerous) hallucinogenic plants on the face of the Earth.

It’s dangerous — yes — but it’s also misunderstood. In the right hands (AKA a trained shaman), datura is viewed as a wise plant teacher.

As you breathe in, you’re sucked into the depths of your unconscious mind — a place where nothing and nobody exists, yet you’re enveloped in pure ecstasy.

As you breathe out, you re-emerge right back where you started.
