Awakening the Cosmic Serpent

What can modern people can learn from indigenous cultures about the use of psychoactive plants and the modification of consciousness?

What can be learned directly from these plants -- which can be powerful and tricky teachers -- and how can we incorporate these lessons into our daily lives?

In what ways do indigenous people benefit from the Western interest in shamanism, and what new cultural bridges are being built through the spread of indigenous spiritual practices?

The renowned anthropoligist Jeremy Narby ( The Cosmic Serpent, Shamans Through Time ) will pursue these questions during Awakening the Cosmic Serpent: Shamanism and Plant Teachers in This Trasformative Time, a on-line video seminar with two lectures and one-on-one discussion featuring four of the world leading experts on the shamanic use of mind altering plants: anthropologists Luis E. Luna and Wade Davis, psychiatrist Stan Grof and ethnobotanist Kat Harrison.

This course takes place on 6 consecutive Sundays, from January 23 through March 6 (there's no call on Sunday February 13) and you can participate from your laptop anywhere in the world with a broadband connection, asking questions directly to the above mentioned experts.
Price: 129 dollars.
