About this listen

An ancient prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, here representing the often-polarized science and spirit, mind and heart, foretold that ours would be a time of great upheaval calling for a re-harmonizing, a healing, both within ourselves and in the world at large.

In this follow-up to his highly acclaimed first book, The Fellowship of the River, medical doctor and curandero Joe Tafur looks to this prophecy as he invites you to rediscover the sacred in yourself and in the world around you. Tafur offers fascinating stories–medicine songs–of his own and numerous others’ including spirit-opening encounters, together with a chronicle of the past 30+ years of scientific breakthroughs known as the Psychedelic Renaissance (which includes clinical research into the therapeutic use of MDMA, psilocybin, and ketamine). These parallel accounts reveal that sacred plants and psychedelic medicines, offered responsibly, whether in medical clinics or spiritual retreats, can catalyze profound emotional healing through spiritual awakening.

For anyone struggling with emotional distress or feelings of disconnection and despair, this book points the way toward a brighter future, where we can find meaning, healing, and connection–and thrive.

An astonishingly good book from an astonishing author. I’ve read various books on Ayahuasca and this one is (along with the same author’s previous book on the same topic: “The Fellowship of the River”) just brilliant! Joe goes into every detail of ayahuasca (what to do what not to do, what’s important and what’s not, along with how it can and should be best used etc), highlighting not only the many benefits but also his own personal story (which is fascinating) and has, over the years, clearly done incredible work on bringing Ayahuasca more into the mainstream and into Western science and medicine. Highly highly recommended.
