Greg Wrenn's MOTHERSHIP: Ayahuasca as Trauma Medicine & Eco-sacrament

Author and poet Greg Wrenn, a former lecturer at Stanford University, went through a process of healing his own relationship with nature, and himself, using this jungle medicine. Tonight, he shares his story with us. Weaving together memoir and cutting-edge science, Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis is both a queer coming-of-age story and a deeply researched account of how coral reefs and ayahuasca helped Greg heal from complex PTSD—a disorder of trust which makes the very act of bonding with someone else panic-inducing. Highlights: • Explore a healing paradigm possibly more powerful than many traditional therapeutic models, and the role psychedelics can play in our time of widespread mental illness and ongoing climate crisis. • Hear a well-crafted tale that weaves threads of memoir, mental health struggles, scientific research, and good-old-fas hioned psychedelic adventure.
