  • David’s life and journey embracing his authentic self
  • The transformative potential of psychedelics and plant medicine
  • Integrating psychedelics and plant medicine into a healthy lifestyle
  • Prayer and being in dialog with yourself or a higher power

“The whole theraputic thing is great, but the idea that you’re going to go in and take mushrooms once and you’re cured of depression… Yeah, it can be helpful, but its about a relationship. Its about being on a path – with medicine, meditation, fitnesse and diet; all that stuff.” – David Bronner
