"I took mushrooms in my 20s and talked to a tree. In my 60s I took them again - and the conversation was entirely different," says author and culture chronicler Abbie Rosner, whose upcoming book, ELDEREVOLUTION and the New Counterculture of Aging is already sparking conversations about how older adults are reclaiming psychedelic experiences -- not as escapism but as a path to deeper self-understanding. Growing up in the 70s Abbie's psychedelic trips were wild, raw and formative. But like many of her generation, she stepped away from mild-altering substances as she entered marriage and motherhood. Now in her 60s, Abbie has returned to psychedelics with fresh eyes - and what she has found is radically different from her youthful explorations. Join her as she chronicles a new counterculture of Boomers who are finding healing, spiritual renewal and joy as they embrace new ways to experience psychedelics.
