This is your chance to hear Professor Greg Wrenn read from his fascinating new book, MOTHERSHIP: A MEMOIR OF WONDER AND CRISIS

Join us at Roots to Crown for an intimate gathering of storytelling and ecological and spiritual exploration co-sponsored by Noonautics.org and the Tampa Bay Psychedelic Community. Come face to face with the reparenting force of Madre Ayahuasca — and learn the science behind this psychedelic medicine’s ability to heal childhood trauma and connect us with our larger purpose❤️

Weaving together memoir and 70 peer-reviewed scientific articles, MOTHERSHIP is both a coming-of-age story and a deeply researched account of how coral reefs and ayahuasca helped Greg heal from complex PTSD—and awakened him to the need for us to heal the planet as well. Rick Doblin, PhD called MOTHERSHIP “a deeply moving roadmap through the intertwined destinies of individual well-being and the urgent need to heal our planet," and Rachel Harris, PhD, author of LISTENING TO AYAHUASCA, said it's “an important contribution to the growing field of psychedelic study."

Event 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 the ongoing climate crisis.

* Hear a well-crafted tale that weaves threads of memoir, mental health struggles, scientific research, and good-old-fashioned psychedelic adventure.

* Get your book signed! After a talk and discussion-based Q+A, Greg Wrenn will sign copies of his book.

* Connect! As always, we will have an opportunity afterwards to meet other like-minded individuals, and come away with new friends
