Michael Stuart Ani joins me for the 10th episode!
He is the author of the incredible book we talk much around called The Ghost Dance: An Untold History of the America's. He's also co-founder of the Amazonia Foundation in 1991, and has recently started the non-profit the Talking Plants Foundation, as well as another project called The Healing Garden we talk about in this episode. He's helped fight epidemics in South America, especially with the Yanomami, and is engaged in work in a similar vein with Covid 19.
This conversation to me really strikes deep into the heart of what this podcast is about in a big way. Michael's story is almost like the alchemical transformation of the individual in order for the collective to go through the needed changes for life to continue.
This episode is about some of the mythic history of the America's, The Ghost Dance, prophecy, and what it means for the times we're going through right now. He also dispels many myths around indigenous plant medicine use, like Maria Sabina and what she said around synthetic psilocybin.
