Ayahuasca

This film is dedicated to the work and play of Terrence McKenna, on the fractal edge of time, 1946 – 2000. Terence Kemp McKenna was an American author, public speaker, metaphysician, psychonaut, philosopher, ethnobotanist, art historian, and self-described anarchist, anti-materialist, environmentalist, feminist, Platonist and skeptic. During his lifetime he was noted for his knowledge of psychedelics, metaphysics, plant-based entheogens, shamanism, mysticism, Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, biology, geology, physics, phenomenology, and his concept of novelty theory. This video is included as a bonus film on the DVD “Shamans of the Amazon” now available in a 3-DVD Box Set – 260 mins – Cat# U670. Loaded with Bonus Features and featuring Terence McKenna.

As Jefferys’ documentary makes clear, the revival of traditional shamanic practices with ayahuasca is proving to be a potent political and propaganda tool for reaffirming and preserving cultural values and identity in indigenous societies that are buffeted by environmental, economic, and societal forces beyond their control.” – Dennis McKenna PhD, co-author The Invisible Landscape
