Join authors Shannon Nering, Priya Hutner and Bridey Thelen-Heidel for an intimate, thought-provoking conversation about psychedelics, consciousness and writing to heal. Shannon dismantled her career as a television host and walked away from her life. Priya escaped a highly controlled spiritual community. Bridey freed herself from her life with an abusive mother. Together they explore the courage required to reinvent yourself, consciousness and how writing is powerful tool for transformation, and for two of the authors how ayahuasca helped them heal.
