Join noted filmmaker Jon Reiss as he discusses the origins and themes of his newly launched podcast Plantscendence, which explores the world of psychedelics and the profound impact plant medicines and entheogens have on healing, personal growth, and artistic expression with leading experts, healers, and teachers. Tonight, Jon will reflect on the the common themes and patterns brought up by nearly all of his interviewees from the importance not only of set and setting to healing of long term trauma to the intersection of the paranormal and the “impossible.” First season guests include poet and musician Vera Sola, author and microdosing innovator Jim Fadiman, actress Gina Gershon, artist Nganga Chor Boogie, US Army veteran Itzel Barakat, author and teacher Spring Washam, plant wisdom practitioner Sitaramaya Sita, grief counselor Larry Carlat and healer and author Tricia Eastman.
