PROGRAM NOTES:

[NOTE: All quotations are by Hamilton Souther.]

“In the jungle, the ayahuasca is used traditionally to heal what are known as mystical, non-ordinary, problems.”

“I came to look at it and realize that what we [North Americans] were looking for wasn't specifically an experience that would produce healing, but we were looking for a shift in consciousness that would produce healing.”

“We are self-regulating, universal beings.”

“There can be negative effects, and that's very real. The psychedelic plants are crap shoots in their own right, which makes having the presence of someone very trained very important. And that's a departed point out in the world, like, take it and go and see what happens. I'm not of that group of thought. I think it's very important to have people there who really, really know what they're doing, like REALLY know what they're doing.”
