Change is going to come no matter what. Pinchbeck is advocating nothing less than the need to embrace our responsibility for understanding what’s happening and play an active part in caring for the world. He feels this time in our human history can serve as our initiation to the next level of consciousness: ecologically, socially, politically, and spiritually. He is the author of: Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism Broadway Books 2003), 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl (Tarcher/Perigee 2007) and How Soon is Now: From Personal Initiation to Global Transformation (Watkins Publishing 2017)
