In Service of Ayahuasca - A Medical Doctor's Journey into an Ancient Healing Tradition

About this book

In Service of Ayahuasca emphasizes a much deeper connection with the nonhuman, living world around us, not only with the Earth herself but also with the plants, animals, and invisible beings that inhabit this plane of existence alongside us. I am talking about a connection with all sentient beings-beings who, as David Abram states in The Spell of the Sensuous, long for recognition from and relationship with the human realm. In simply reading this book, you may come to recognize parts of yourselfthat are hard to accept. What is your experience as you read these words of caution? Do you feel frightened? Do you feel excited "This book is in the truest sense a journey of within and beyond. White Owl describes with wonder the experience of being called to and journeying on the deep river of consciousness that comes with the medicine of plants and of the earth. Rather than some sensational travel he describes the sacred passage into fear, harmony and wonder that beckons to us all."Michael Craig Clemmens PhD Author and editor of Embodied Relational Gestalt
