- The inside story of a transformative group mushroom ceremony with former Mormon women.
- How Mormon women are choosing ketamine and nitrous over alcohol, which is forbidden by their religion.
- How Rick Perry (former Governor of Texas and Secretary of Energy) is using Biblical scripture to promote the use of psychedelics.
- The rising role of the goddess and the divine feminine in personal and collective healing.
- How psychedelics are influencing spiritual and religious landscapes, including challenges to traditional churches.
