Dr. Dennis McKenna is the world's leading researcher into Ayahuasca, a trans-formative chemical compound that was developed by the Shamans of the Amazon. Just wanted to touch base with everyone and let you know about Croatan. Thank you for helping us to make this happen. Croatan is a unique event and the first of it's kind to be hosted in the heart of Appalachia. Dennis will be making a brief appearance at Malaprops on Saturday around noon and then back to the Croatan site by the river. If you have a STS9/DB ticket stub, you get $10 off at the gate if you haven't already bought tickets. Dennis says hello and he's going to talking about Ayahuasca's relationship to Humanity. The main lecture will be at 5:30 on Saturday, 4-22. He just got back from Peru too, so he's going to share more about that trip. Online sales end on April 17th, but we'll have tickets at the gate. No more volunteers accepted past April 19th, contact us for more info (www.harmonywerx.org). We'll also be posting a schedule soon with lecture details. Truly, Wil April 21-23rd, 2006 Lectures by: Dennis McKenna (author; Ayahuasca: Human Consciousness and the Spirits of Nature, The Invisible Landscape: Mind, Hallucinogens, and the I Ching) Dr. Dennis McKenna will be hosting a lecture about his research into Ayahuasca. Dennis McKenna is the brother of Terence McKenna - the two traveled together to the Amazon to learn about the healing properties of Ayahuasca. Dr. Dennis McKenna is heavily involved in the research that has helped to support both Terence’s work and his own. Michael Crowley (author; Secret Drugs of Buddhism, When the Gods Drank Urine: the Riddle of Soma) Michael Crowley will be speaking on the ancient Hindu scripture called the Rig Veda and its frequent mention of the drug plant "soma" though the precise identity of this plant has remained a mystery for millennia. Michael Crowley also uncovers sacramental use of several other drug plants in Vajrayana Buddhism. These drugs include Psilocybe cubensis, Argyreia nervosa, Cannabis indica, Datura stramonium, and an ayahuasca-like concoction based on Acacia catechu, a rich source of DMT.
